If you’re not building repeat customers, you’re building a business on sand.

I want to share a quick message one of our Resellerator members dropped in the community today:

“101 items purchased this month. 100% free leads (repeats or SEO/GMB). I’m buggering off until January.”

That’s not a screenshot from an ad account.
That’s not a lucky streak.
That’s not someone grinding themselves into the ground.

That’s what happens when the Resellerator system is actually followed and allowed to compound.

And here’s the important part most people miss:

Kevin didn’t execute everything perfectly on day one.
He didn’t magically have all systems dialed immediately.
He didn’t “win” because he’s special.

He won because at some point, he stopped freelancing his decisions and started running the process.

What this result actually represents
• Consistent GMB authority​
• Repeat sellers from proper follow-up systems
• Clean operations that don’t require daily chaos
• No dependency on paid ads to survive
• The ability to step away without revenue falling apart

That’s the difference between flipping and operating.

This is exactly why Resellerator exists
Resellerator isn’t about hacks or tricks.
It’s about building a buyback business that keeps working after the excitement wears off.

That means:

Systems before scale
Authority before ads
Repeat sellers before volume
Discipline before speed
Kevin’s month is what boring, correct execution looks like after it compounds.

If you’re reading this and thinking:
“I never fully finished setting everything up”
“I cherry-picked parts instead of running the whole system”
“I know what I should be doing, but I drifted”
That’s normal.
And it’s also fixable.

We currently have 3 onboarding spots opening this coming week for people who want their buyback business set up correctly the first time, or rebuilt the right way.

If you want help dialing this in so your results look boringly consistent like this, you can book a call below.

We’re coming up on the end of the year, and I’ve had a lot of conversations like this lately.

“Next year, I want to change my business.”
“I don’t want to keep guessing.”
“I know what I’m doing now isn’t scalable.”

And here’s the thing most people don’t realize:

You don’t need a store.
You don’t need employees.
You don’t need a fancy setup.

I personally know multiple people doing $10,000/month in profit working out of their house with Resellerator.

No storefront.
No overhead.
Simple, clean operations.

They’re buying:
• iPhones
• MacBooks
• iPads
• Smartwatches
• Cameras
• VR headsets
• Other high-demand electronics

And they’re doing it with systems, not chaos.

Consistent sourcing.
Clear buy rules.
Reliable buyers.
Fast turns.

That’s it.

What separates them from everyone else isn’t motivation or intelligence.

It’s that they stopped trying to piece things together on their own.

They didn’t “kind of” do this.
They committed to doing it the right way.

Every year, I talk to people who sit on the fence and tell themselves:

“I’ll figure it out next year.”
“I just need a little more time.”
“I’m not ready yet.”

And then… next year looks exactly the same.

If you’ve been on the fence about joining a program like Resellerator, If you want a business that’s simple, repeatable, and actually profitable If you want 2025 to look different instead of just sounding different./?/

This is probably the moment to get off the fence.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

And the end of the year is usually when people finally decide to stop tolerating what isn’t working.

Something I’ve noticed over and over again:

I can give someone the exact framework to change their business… and the moment it requires them to step outside their comfort zone, the excuses show up.

“It won’t work in my area.”
“That probably wouldn’t work for me.”
“My market is different.”
“I’ve already tried something like that.”

And here’s the truth most people don’t realize:

Those aren’t logical objections.

They’re emotional reactions to discomfort.

Change feels uncomfortable before it feels logical.

When you’re used to doing things a certain way even if it’s not working your brain tries to protect you by keeping things familiar.

So it looks for reasons to say no.

Not because the framework doesn’t work.
Not because the opportunity isn’t real.

But because being uncomfortable feels risky.

And that’s okay.

Discomfort isn’t a signal that something won’t work.
It’s a signal that you’re leaving what’s familiar.

I see this a lot when people are shown how simple these businesses actually are.

Buying phones, MacBooks, iPads, smartwatches, cameras, VR headsets.

Running a clean, repeatable buyback business from home making real profit without a store or overhead.

On paper, it makes sense.

But emotionally?
It’s different from what they’re used to.

So the mind jumps in with:
“Yeah, but…”

Here’s the important part:

Every meaningful upgrade in your life happens after discomfort, not before it.

The people doing $8k–$12k/month out of their house didn’t start comfortable.

They got comfortable after they committed and built systems.

If something feels uncomfortable right now,
that doesn’t mean it won’t work.

It usually means you’re standing at the edge of change.

And that’s exactly where progress starts.

Why Negotiation Is the Strongest Lever in Your Buyback Business (By Far)

Most people think scaling a buyback business is all about ads.
But here’s the truth: your ability to talk to people prints more profit than any ad campaign ever will.

When I first started flipping, I treated negotiation like a tug-of-war — one winner, one loser. And it destroyed my margins.

I’d start high, hoping they’d say yes…
They’d push back…
And I’d be stuck with nowhere to go but up.

Eventually I realized something:

Negotiation is not you vs. them. It’s you and them.

You’re working together to find the price that makes sense for both sides.

Once that clicked, everything changed — repeat sellers, higher profits, smoother deal flow.

Anchoring: Why Starting Low Actually Wins More

Your first offer is never just a number. It’s your anchor.

Sellers always assume your first offer isn’t your best one.
So if you start too high, you have zero wiggle room and immediately collapse your own margin.

When I started anchoring low (slightly above ecoATM), everything got easier:

Sellers felt like they were “winning.”

I stayed in control of the negotiation.

I had plenty of room to move up.

Deals closed more often and more profitably.

We trained an entire repair shop team on this, and within one week their closing rate and profit exploded. This works everywhere.

The Bullet Negotiation Method (The Script)

This is the method I teach in BuyBack Revolution and in Buyback Academy.

It turns negotiation from “stressful guessing” into a predictable sequence.

Step 1 — Anchor Offer

After getting device + condition:

“Great, we’ve recently been paying around $X for that device.”

or

“Awesome — I can offer you $X for it.”

Expect a no.
That’s normal.

The Bullets:
Bullet 1 — Carrier

After they reject your anchor:

“Got it, totally understand. Quick question what company is the phone with?”

This keeps the conversation alive and gives you a natural reason to raise your offer.

If it's unlocked or paid off, you go:

“Oh, that makes sense. My bad, didn’t realize. I can do $X instead.”

Now they feel like they negotiated you up…
But really, you controlled the entire frame.

Bullet 2 — Storage

If they still say no:

“Totally understand. How much storage does it have?”

Higher GB = higher offer.
Simple leverage.

Bullet 3 — Model Confirmation

Still no?

“Just to confirm, you said it was the [model], right?”

This shows you're paying attention and removes objections.

Bullet 4 — Full Transparency

If they still won’t budge:

“I’d love to buy your device, but I buy and resell for a living. Based on current market conditions, the best I can offer is $X. Would you consider meeting today with cash?”

Most people respect this more than fake enthusiasm or pressure.

The Pivot (The Secret Profit Multiplier)

If the seller still doesn’t want your price:

“No worries at all, do you have anything else you’re looking to sell? MacBooks, iPads, watches, cameras, Oculus, anything like that?”

This pivot alone has made me more money than the original item thousands of times.

Often, they come back and sell you everything — including the original item, because you built trust.

Common Questions I Get (Quick Answers)

How low should I anchor?
Slightly above ecoATM. You’re not insulting them, but you're still giving yourself room.

What if they get annoyed?
Stay calm. Neutral tone wins. Emotions kill deals.

What if they have a higher offer?
Tell them to take it.
Honesty wins you far more long-term customers than squeezing out $10 today.

Does this work for other devices?
Yes. Cameras, MacBooks, watches, VR gear — everything.

The entire negotiation module — including scripts, examples, and scenarios — lives inside Buyback Academy, which unlocks ONLY after you complete my free Skool course within 5 days.

We’ve banned over 2,000 people for not finishing.
We only work with the serious ones.

Why Most Resellers Plateau — And How to Break Through It (Deep Dive)

There’s a very real pattern I see across almost every reseller I talk to, whether they’re doing $500 a month or $20,000 a month.

At some point, they hit a wall.
Lead flow slows down.
Sales feel inconsistent.
Cash gets tied up in inventory.
Ads feel more expensive than before.
Momentum disappears.
And when that happens, most people assume:
“I need more leads.”
“I need better ads.”
“I need a better phone number, website, logo, something…”

But 99% of the time, the problem isn’t ads.
It isn’t budget.

It isn’t competition.
It’s the system behind the business.
After coaching hundreds of resellers and analyzing thousands of deals and tracking sheets, the patterns are identical.

So here is the deepest breakdown I can give you... the exact blueprint that separates plateaued resellers from predictable, full-time operators.

1. You Will Never Win Long-Term by Relying Only on New Leads

This is the biggest choke point in the entire industry.
Most resellers run ads… talk to a seller once… buy the item… and then the relationship ends there.
No follow-up.
No relationship-building.
No list creation.
No repeat transactions.
And this is why their business never stabilizes.
Here’s the truth:

👉 You do NOT need thousands of leads to build a full-time flipping business.
👉 You need about 100 loyal sellers who trust you.

Think about it:
If someone sells you a phone today…
They’ll sell another in 3–6 months.
And another after that.
And a tablet.
And a laptop.
And a watch.
And their kid’s phone.
And their spouse’s phone.
And every time, instead of Facebook Marketplace or random shops, you become their “person.”
THAT is a real business.
And it starts with one simple thing:
Collect phone + email on every single deal using a digital Bill of Sale.
Once you have that, you plug them into a simple follow-up sequence.
That’s it.
This is the difference between:
A reseller who is constantly stressed about ads
Versus one who barely runs ads because half their inventory comes from people they’ve already bought from before
This one shift alone can turn someone’s income from unstable to predictable in 90 days.

2. Cash Flow Is the Heartbeat of the Business

Here’s a hard truth:
You don’t get paid to own inventory.
You get paid to sell it.
And one of the biggest killers of momentum is holding items too long.
If something has sat for 14 days:
It’s not a you problem
It’s not a market problem
It’s not the algorithm
It’s not bad luck
The listing probably just needs attention.
Here’s the 14-day rule I’ve used for years:
Step 1: Delist + Relist
This refreshes your position in the Marketplace and gives the listing a “new” boost.
Step 2: Send Offers
Most buyers hesitate at the full price.
A small discount can convert watchers into buyers instantly.
Step 3: Promote the Listing (Last Resort)
Even $3–$5 can push your listing to the top and free up capital.
You’re not in the business of holding inventory.
You’re in the business of turning capital.
Fast cash flow beats perfect margins every time.

3. Incomplete Tracking Blinds You

I’ve seen people think their ads don’t work…
…but when we dig into the tracking sheet?
They forgot to log:
Pawn shop finds
Marketplace reach-outs
Walk-ins
Referrals
Multi-item bundles
Organic traffic from their website
Old customers returning
Google searches
Social media mentions
And when those aren’t logged, your numbers lie to you.
You might think:
ROAS is bad
Lead quality is low
Paid ads aren’t converting
…when the reality is that you’re actually crushing it, but your sheet doesn’t show it.
Clean tracking = clarity = better decisions = more profit.
People who track well scale faster.
People who don’t track stay confused and frustrated.

4. High-Profit Items Change Everything

There’s only so many $20–$40 profit deals you can do in a day before you burn out.
The smartest resellers shift to:
Cameras
Drones
VR headsets
Game consoles
High-end phones
Laptops
iPad Pros
Apple Watches
These items:
Bring higher margins
Have higher demand
Bring better sellers
Require fewer total transactions to hit your goals
This is why I recommend creating a:
“Core 5” High-Profit List
Five categories you focus heavily on the ones that pay you the most for the least effort.
The moment you stop trying to be “the buyer of everything” and instead become the buyer of the right items, your income rises and your stress drops.

5. Your Online Presence Has More Influence Than You Think

People underestimate how many deals they lose because:

Their page looks empty
Their profile looks new
Their business info looks inconsistent
Their website looks outdated
Their branding looks “sketchy”
Their reviews aren’t visible
Trust is everything in this space.
When someone sees:
A clean website
Recent photos
Clear branding
Real testimonials
A Google listing
A business number
…they feel safer.

That’s why some people convert expensive Google leads easily because their online presence closes the deal for them.

The Formula for Breaking Through the Plateau

If I could boil all of this down into one repeatable formula, it would be this:

(1) Build a list of repeat sellers
(2) Maintain cash flow aggressively
(3) Track everything
(4) Focus on high-profit categories
(5) Look like a real business

If you do those five things, it is nearly impossible not to grow month after month.
This is how people get to:

$5K/month
$10K/month
$15K/month
Full-time flipping
And beyond
Without spending insane money on ads.
Without living on Marketplace.
Without burning out.

Buyback Revolution - LIVE

If you’ve been watching my whiteboard videos for years… now you can see it LIVE.

For the first time, I’m bringing the whiteboard to a room where you can sit 10 feet away, ask the hard questions, and get direct help from me and my team.

Buyback Revolution Live — January 2nd - 3rd

This is a hands-on workshop for phone/electronics resellers who want to scale fast without guesswork. We’ll build your plan on the spot and pressure-test it.

What we’ll do together:

- Map your lead engine: FB/Google “Everlasting” ads, GMB, and Marketplace systems that actually compound.

- Fix your numbers: pricing, margins, KPIs, and a simple daily scorecard so you know exactly what to do next.

- Negotiate like a closer: live roleplays and scripts that consistently turn “maybe” into “sold.”

- Systems that stick: automations, follow-ups, and a repeatable weekly cadence so you stop starting over.

- Hot seats: bring your ads, offers, or deals—we’ll tear them down and rebuild them right.

Two ways to attend:

- General Admission: Full workshop day + materials + “What’s Working Right Now” playbook.

- VIP (very limited): Everything in GA plus a small-group implementation lab with me and my coaches where we build your ads, offers, and follow-ups together. VIP is designed so you leave with assets done.

Who this is for:

If you’re serious about hitting consistent $5K–$10K+ months and want the exact systems I use and teach—without fluff, this is for you.
Want in? buybackrevolution.com/live

P.S. Seats are limited, and VIP will go first. If you’ve ever said “I wish I could just look over your shoulder for a day,” this is that day.
