Inventory Management

Why Growing Amazon Sales Can Destroy Your Business Your Amazon sales hit $150,000 last month, up 40% from six months ago. You should be celebrating. Instead, you're checking your bank account with a knot in your stomach. You have $8,000 in the bank. Amazon owes you $32,000 that won't arrive for another week. Your supplier needs $45,000 for inventory by Friday. Welcome to the Amazon cash flow challenge: You pay for inventory weeks or months before Amazon pays you for the sale.
