Anyone planning to sell on the Internet should be aspiring to get their storefront on Amazon. But taking on the ‘Internet Giant,’ especially as a somewhat inexperienced seller, can be quite intimidating. And the people who are intimidated tend to procrastinate and not get it done.  Sadly, every day that your products are not on Amazon and other high-traffic platforms is a day you lost money.

So, how do you gain the confidence and learn all the ins and outs of navigating internet sales on large internet platforms? More and more people are hiring an eCommerce consultant company to get around the traffic and start making money. The following are two companies that made names for themselves in 2020 and are emerging eCommerce consultant companies to watch in 2021.

Straight Up Growth

CEO Evan J. Kesner is a business growth specialist and co-founder of two seven-figure businesses.  His previous experience includes helping Fortune 500s and Inc.5000 companies grow their sales pipeline ten times faster than previously imaginable within their target prospective customer accounts. With this kind of documented success, Kesner uses his most recent business venture to share his knowledge. His company, Straight Up Growth, aims to give people an edge when looking to scale their direct to consumer business/efforts.

Straight Up Growth focuses on growing brands in the most competitive categories on large internet platforms like Amazon. Kesner and his team know how to skyrocket sales of new brands and new products in ultra-competitive categories. Kesner says the extensive knowledge and experience of the Straight Up Growth team can turn floundering businesses and budding start-ups into market leaders quickly.

One of the reasons Straight Up Growth nets such success for its clients is the vast amount of combined knowledge the team has with their personal experiences selling and advertising on Amazon. This hands-on ‘been there, done that’ experience has given all of the internet specialists at Straight Up Growth an expert understanding of the intricate details that make navigating Amazon tricky. They know how reviews, brand awareness, organic rankings, percent of ad-driven sales, and other factors impact their advertising efforts. And with this information, Kesner says they can provide tailored solutions based on individual client goals and use existing Amazon data to move those clients miles ahead of the competition.
