It’s easy to measure your success to others as a business owner, but climbing the ladder to profitability isn’t a race. However, smart and strategic methods can guarantee you a spot in the exclusive eight-figure club. What actions should you take to earn next-level profits?
Amazon consultant Vincenzo Toscano recommends a six-step framework to grow your business. However, he advises sellers to moderately introduce each phase, starting by implementing catalog expansion, product optimization, and external marketing. External marketing includes utilizing blogs, influencers, and brand ambassadors, which helps drive traffic to your website. Once you’ve launched and optimized new products by updating copy and keywords, sellers should focus on expanding internationally — focusing on the UK and Germany — and become proficient in PPC and manufacturing negotiations. In addition to having favorable relationships with your manufacturer, ensure the payment terms are advantageous to your profit’s bottom line.
In this episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast with Josh Hadley, Vincenzo Toscano, Founder and CEO of Ecomcy, talks about mastermind business growth hacks. Vincenzo discusses brand expansion through new launches, leveraging influencers to promote brands, and hiring specialized experts for an efficient operation.

Josh Hadley 3:09
super excited to have you on I’ve listened to multiple podcast episodes that you’ve been on. And you continue to share so much knowledge and you have your own podcast. And so you’re just a wealth of information. And I know our listeners are gonna take away a lot of actionable insight from your message.
Vincenzo Toscano 3:30
Again, I appreciate that. I mean, they say I can say the same about you. I mean, I’ve been following your podcast for a while now. And to be honest, I want to thank you all. So personally, for all the great strategy and content you put out there. I’m pretty sure it provides a ton of value to the Amazon community.
Josh Hadley 3:45
Well, I love it. The feeling is mutual here. Well, Vincenzo, our audience is seven-figure sellers, right that wants to take their brand, to eight figures and beyond. That’s exactly what you do. And you have, you know, in your bio, you mentioned a specialist framework that can actually help brands explode their revenue and grow on Amazon. So then, Vincenzo, would you mind kind of breaking down this framework that you have that helps brands explode their sales and growth on Amazon?
Vincenzo Toscano 4:17
Surely Yeah. 100% I would say a when it comes to you know, breaking a that wall to go from seven figures to eight figures that’s usually a series of areas that we have identified that consistently is pressing on clients that come to us that you know, they’re not tapping into those areas, and they must do it to reach the eight figures a basically a space and are going to be working to all these different a advice and strategies that we’re doing for our clients so we can start doing it by your brand as well. So the first thing that we always identify when we do audits a on a brand’s is a most people have a huge potential when it comes to expand their product offerings, right. So a lot of people usually when we do the audit under brands, they’re usually gonna have a portfolio of pros, it could be 510 product plus, but then you know, usually you’re gonna have your hero products, which is, you know, the 80/20 rule. You’re gonna have your two or three products that bring you 80% of your revenue. And the remaining just products that you know, are just there to complement the brand. Now, what does it happen, it happens that sometimes people when they start a reach into seven figures, and they get stuck, and they don’t know how to go past a certain figure a window is that they stop the mindset of keep expanding the product catalog, right. And, for example, even Amazon itself with their brand analytics tool, nowadays, you can find all the top keywords that people is looking on a specific niche, you can even use a pro discovery tool to even Amazon tells you, which are the pros that have high demand and you could potentially add to your business. And by combining tools like that, I’m pretty sure that I’ve you put the data there after analyzing it, you’re gonna find accessories complement the complementary RNA products for your, basically your niche, even different variations that sometimes you even didn’t even thought of. And these tools can basically help you bring those extra sources of traffic says which at the same time reflects in revenue. And that combined with a all the strategic, which I’m going to be mentioning next can help you basically enter into the eight figure a family as they call it. So that’s number one, focus on always expanding your catalog, don’t get into the mentality, oh, I have my top two or three products. And I need to put all my money into only PPC for this product. And you close your mind, because I can guarantee you that there is all these extra things are on your niche that you can take advantage of. And I’m pretty sure if you retarget your clients with those new offerings, you can even increase the lifetime value of those clients. But that’s number one.
