Think tank promises to expose the blind spots costing Amazon brands money

A February 20 to 24 think tank in Austin is built around a simple observation: most Amazon businesses carry blind spots their owners cannot see, and the right room can find them in an afternoon.

The format puts more than twenty e-commerce experts, several of whom charge $35,000 to $50,000 per day for private consulting, in a room with one brand at a time. The first hour is a deep interrogation of the business; the next sixty minutes become an emergency response session producing a tailored battle plan covering revenue leaks, hidden opportunities, inventory and supply chain planning, brand positioning, scaling systems, PPC and influencer management, and protection strategies, mapped to a five-times growth path.

There are no presentations, pitches, or sponsors, and organizers say participants at the last edition were implementing changes during their sessions. A nine-figure seller from September's event said the final 30 minutes reshaped the company's next five years.

Two hot-seat spots remained as of this week, along with reduced-price audience tickets for sellers who want to observe the process and network.
