In today’s episode, we speak with James Thomson from Prosper, an Amazon-specific conference. He was Amazon’s first FBA account manager and then ran Amazon Services, the group that is responsible for recruiting almost all 3rd party sellers to the platform. We discuss how Prosper is different from other conferences in that its main focus is education and providing networking opportunities without bias. While some conferences may try to promote certain methods, Prosper aims to help sellers get a better perspective on Amazon's current circumstances.What Sets Prosper Apart From Other Conferences? 2:14Keeping Ahead of the Curve With Content 11:35How Prosper Has Developed 14:11The Show Is Only As Good As the Attendees 19:45Choosing Speakers and Topics 23:16“Prosper’s meant to be that place where you go and say, ‘Listen, not only are we going to learn from lots of different folks who are living in this space every single day, but we’re going to get different perspectives, and we’re going to try to strip away as much of the bias as possible.’” 7:31Socialhttps://www.instagram.com/smartestseller/https://www.buyboxer.com/
