#102 - From Being a Pro Athlete to Selling on Amazon with Georgios Dimitriou I The Corey Ganim Show

This episode explores the journey of Georgios Dimitriou, a former professional basketball player turned successful Amazon wholesale seller. Against the backdrop of his career shift, the conversation delves into the challenges and rewards of operating an Amazon business remotely from Australia while selling in the US market. More significantly, Georgios details his unique approach to Amazon wholesale, emphasizing a systematic methodology and the development of his own proprietary software, Astro Advanced Analytics, designed to streamline product research and purchase order generation. For instance, the software uses AI to analyze ASINs, providing profitability scores and identifying potential IP issues, significantly reducing research time. The discussion also touches upon the logistical hurdles of operating internationally, including banking and credit card access, and contrasts Georgios's perspective of Amazon as an investment portfolio rather than a traditional business. Finally, the episode highlights the importance of building strong relationships with a select few suppliers and the value of community support in navigating the complexities of the Amazon marketplace.
