Most sellers would celebrate this graph. $1.39M CAD in sales. 14% YoY growth. 10 months of $115K-$150K. But February 2025 dropped 90% to $15K. That one month just exposed our fatal flaw.

Most sellers see this and celebrate: 39 orders | 44 units | €4,929 revenue €126.40 average order value But look at the graph. Day 16: €6,200 in sales. Day 17: €800. This isn’t sustainable growth.

Most sellers would celebrate this screenshot. SAR 10.27K in sales (Last 7 days) 94% growth vs. previous week 983% YoY growth But look closer at the graph. SAR 7,900 came from ONE day (Feb 1st). Then it crashed to nearly zero. This isn’t growth. It’s a ticking time bomb. HERE’S WHAT THIS GRAPH IS REALLY TELLING […]
January 25th. I woke up to this graph. Units ordered: 28 → 5 in 24 hours. Revenue: £4,200 → £700. My client panicked. “Should we slash prices? Run a Lightning Deal? Pour more money into PPC?” I said: “Do nothing. Yet.” HERE’S WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED: Day 1 (Jan 25): Sales crater. Panic mode. Day 2 (Jan […]
17 days. SAR 3,404 ad spend. SAR 89,743 in sales. And enough volatility to make your head spin. Most agencies would call this “inconsistent.” We call it data gold.

Jan 8: Crash (confusion) Jan 15: Rock bottom (all metrics died) Jan 21: MASSIVE spike […]

On paper? Looks like a winning Amazon business. In reality? My client was having panic attacks. Let me show you why “good revenue” doesn’t always mean a healthy business.
