    If your target client or active client sells on Amazon it's a game changer. You will come to the table as a brand expert if you utilize search engine prior to client interaction. In sales and marketing, it's our go to tool. I use it to craft professional brand market share analysis as "lead magnet" with great success

    We utilize Keepa and Amazon Seller Central to help with our research and inhouse AI software to level the playing field. I start with SmartScout to qualify the brand. I also prepare for introductions and discovery calls with the tool. It has been a great help prior to trade shows to funnel the attendees to a solid target list
