1. What is Greywolfe Investing and how does it work?

Greywolfe Investing is a wholesale-partnered, investment management company specializing in FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) automation. We assist investors in creating additional revenue streams by leveraging Amazon's multi-billion dollar platform. Our team manages the entire operational process, from wholesale partnered contracts, product selection, warehouse inventory management, store operations, and shipments to/from Amazon.

2. What sets Greywolfe Investing apart from other automation companies?

Greywolfe Investing has a few key factors that are recognized on both state and national levels, each of which contributes to making our automation service stand out of from the rest. First and foremost is our unmatched experience in the Amazon space. Our CEO has been mastering FBA for more than 6 years, and our predecessor company officially opened its doors in February 2019. Also, unlike other companies that delegate operational processes overseas using VAs (virtual assistants), we handle every aspect in-house with actual employees. This ensures that your investment is managed directly by our team, reducing risk. We always prioritize quality service and maintain steady control over your investment. Finally, our status as a state-accredited wholesale partner gives us unparalleled control over your store’s supply chain, arguably the most important aspect of any FBA venture.

3. Why is having control over the investment process important?

Direct control is crucial for trust and transparency. We believe in giving you the final say in how your investment is managed. By keeping operations in-house, we ensure that decisions regarding your investment are made with your interests in mind, and that we can always provide you with the answers you seek.

4. Can you explain the concept of FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) Automation?

FBA stands for Fulfillment by Amazon. This is a program offered by Amazon that allows sellers to utilize Amazon's fulfillment centers to store and ship their products. Our company 'automates' this process for you by working with authorized distributors to source products; receiving and inspecting those products to ensure that they meet Amazon's standards; repackaging the products and shipping them to Amazon's fulfillment centers; and coordinating directly with Amazon to ensure prompt delivery. By participating in the FBA program and adhering to Amazon's policies, your store's products qualify for Prime two-day delivery. As such, FBA enables sellers to reach a wider customer base and benefit from Amazon's extensive logistical network.

5. How do you ensure products meet Amazon's strict specifications for Prime delivery?

We have an in-house shipping and repackaging operation that follows Amazon's guidelines: (a) the products are stored correctly in a temperature-regulated warehouse, (b) our warehouse team adheres to cut-off times to ensure Prime orders are shipped on the same day they’re placed, (c) items are packaged and processed using correct box sizes, protective materials and labeling to ensure safe and secure delivery, (d) specified ship-by dates and time frames are followed so as to ensure the carrier delivers packages on time, (e) our team closely monitors seller performance metrics to maintain eligibility for Prime 2-day delivery, and (f) our team works with Amazon to help provide prompt and efficient resolutions for any customer issues. Strictly following these specifications allows sellers to preserve their FBA status and continue offering Prime shipping/delivery.

6. What is the onboarding process like after I sign up with Greywolfe Investing?

Once you're signed up, we will email you a comprehensive step-by-step guide detailing each stage of the onboarding process. We also have an option to book a Zoom call with one of our team members to provide assistance if needed. The onboarding process includes establishing a legal business entity (such as an LLC), setting up your Amazon Seller Central account, where you can track your store's results.

7. How do you establish relationships with high-quality distribution channels?

Networking and attending exclusive manufacturing events and brand expos allows us to build strong relationships with reputable distributors. Taking the time to build these relationships allows us to secure wholesale prices for your products. This enhances the value of your investment by associating your store with these reliable distribution channels.

8. How does the team in Bogotá, Colombia, help in the product selection process?

Our Bogotá team uses sophisticated software to track product availability, shipping times, and other logistics. They use their expertise to connect you with the right products for your store, ensuring healthy sales activity and consistent inventory. The Bogotá division is overseen by Diego Meneses, an experienced Amazon expert who has been a key part of our company for 3 years.

9. What happens once the products are selected and ordered?

Based on the seller's available inventory capital, we will choose which of our partnered distributors is the best fit within the client's means. We then establish their store's contract with that distributor and qualify them with any necessary Letters of Authorization (LOAs), which allow the store to sell those products through Amazon. Our team will order a bulk freight of the inventory from the manufacturer/distributor and have it sent to our warehouse. Our team then performs quality and quantity checks on wholesale orders and manages the seller's inventory.

10. What is the typical ramp-up period for launching a store with Greywolfe Investing?

The ramp-up period takes about two to four months. During this time, we help you launch your store, obtain necessary approvals from Amazon, make initial purchases to ungate various product categories, and build your store's credibility. We then begin scaling your store's metrics for higher volume sales and profit margins.

11. What kind of profit margins can I expect from my store?

Profit margins fluctuate over time, and vary from product-to-product. However, thanks to our industry-leading processes and distributor connections, you can typically expect average profit margins of up to 20%–40% per product, with an average ROI timeline of 12 to 18 months. (These estimates are based on data compiled from hundreds of stores over the past year.)

12. What is the required working capital amount and how is it utilized?

We require a working capital amount of $15,000 to $25,000. These funds are carefully used by our team to purchase products in bulk at wholesale costs, enhancing your store's inventory and profit potential. Then, as products are sold and your store generates revenue, you are responsible for replenishing this working capital so that the team can continue restocking your store.

13. Can you explain the contractual guarantee that backs the investment?

Your agreement with Greywolfe Investing will include a written guarantee stating that if you provide the necessary capital for your store and fulfill your obligations under the contract, you can walk away after 24 months with at least fifty percent (50%) of your initial investment. This guarantee is legally backed, ensuring your investment's security.

14. What is the Client Appreciation Event, and who gets to attend?

Our annual Client Appreciation Event is open to all of our clients, and presents an invaluable opportunity for us to personally connect with you. Attendees enjoy catered food, an open bar, live entertainment, and presentations from our executive team. Here, you'll be able to interact with our team, discuss your store's future, and share success stories & investment ideas with fellow e-commerce entrepreneurs.

15. How can I get started with Greywolfe Investing?

To get started, simply book a call with one of our qualification advisors found on our website. They will ask you questions to see if you qualify, while also answering any questions you may have regarding our company and the FBA process. Once you're qualified, we will send you the formal legal agreement for your review; after you've signed up, you will receive a detailed onboarding guide with additional step-by-step instructions. We're excited to welcome you and grow together!
