3 00:02:53.090 ⇒ 00:02:56.163 Luke Daque: Hi, I’m very sorry. I just went to the restroom real quick.
4 00:02:57.185 ⇒ 00:02:59.680 Luke Daque: Yeah, it looks like
5 00:03:00.670 ⇒ 00:03:01.280 Amber Lin: Shit
6 00:03:01.280 ⇒ 00:03:07.149 Luke Daque: Yeah, looks like they won’t be joining the stand up today. It looks like again.
7 00:03:07.540 ⇒ 00:03:09.779 Amber Lin: Oh, I mean, why don’t they? Just
8 00:03:10.720 ⇒ 00:03:15.320 Amber Lin: they didn’t tell us, did they? Oh, message in slack? Just yeah.
9 00:03:15.320 ⇒ 00:03:23.079 Amber Lin: If they keep doing this, if I keep doing this, can they just tell us, or just decline?
10 00:03:23.640 ⇒ 00:03:24.990 Amber Lin: Oh, my gosh!
11 00:03:25.579 ⇒ 00:03:26.169 Luke Daque: Yeah.
12 00:03:28.780 ⇒ 00:03:34.399 Amber Lin: Okay, okay, they have some more issues for next week. Is everything good with stock buds
13 00:03:36.340 ⇒ 00:03:37.200 Luke Daque: What was that?
14 00:03:37.380 ⇒ 00:03:44.419 Amber Lin: Is everything good with this client like? No, like no major roadblocks. Everything is doing pretty well
15 00:03:44.950 ⇒ 00:03:56.718 Luke Daque: Yeah, I think we should be good. There’s this is. There’s still like a couple of tickets that I need to finish. Like, yeah, that’s what I’m planning today. Because, like, I’ve been working mostly on post pool parts for the past few days.
16 00:03:57.860 ⇒ 00:04:00.310 Luke Daque: but yeah, I’m I’m trying. I’m
17 00:04:00.500 ⇒ 00:04:05.950 Luke Daque: planning to finish at least the documentation request that they raised last Wednesday, I believe.
18 00:04:06.625 ⇒ 00:04:12.100 Luke Daque: That way. We have something to show them, and I think that’s also, like their
19 00:04:12.730 ⇒ 00:04:16.160 Luke Daque: like one of their, the main asks that they have
20 00:04:16.350 ⇒ 00:04:17.730 Amber Lin: From us as well.
21 00:04:18.300 ⇒ 00:04:19.660 Amber Lin: Yeah. Great
22 00:04:21.110 ⇒ 00:04:28.119 Amber Lin: So why don’t we just use the time to talk about 4 points real quick
23 00:04:28.930 ⇒ 00:04:29.470 Luke Daque: Sure.
24 00:04:29.660 ⇒ 00:04:30.400 Luke Daque: Yeah.
25 00:04:33.400 ⇒ 00:04:39.770 Luke Daque: So I I’m not sure if you’ve seen the last message that I sent in the Channel.
26 00:04:41.020 ⇒ 00:04:48.709 Luke Daque: But but yeah, I did notice like when I was looking at the notion
27 00:04:48.830 ⇒ 00:04:53.589 Luke Daque: page for pool parts, we already actually have a documentation for the
28 00:04:53.590 ⇒ 00:04:54.320 Amber Lin: Oh!
29 00:04:55.050 ⇒ 00:04:57.456 Luke Daque: But it’s it’s a more technical one.
30 00:04:57.800 ⇒ 00:04:58.450 Amber Lin: Okay.
31 00:04:58.450 ⇒ 00:05:04.110 Luke Daque: And the one that I just sent that I created was like a less technical one. I think
32 00:05:04.310 ⇒ 00:05:07.010 Luke Daque: I don’t know, like we can share both with Kim and just
33 00:05:07.970 ⇒ 00:05:11.529 Luke Daque: Because I I am not really sure like, if the technical
34 00:05:12.610 ⇒ 00:05:17.340 Luke Daque: Documentation would be something that’s easy for Kim to understand, and stuff like that
35 00:05:17.650 ⇒ 00:05:23.240 Amber Lin: Yeah, I don’t think he. She needs to know all the technical stuff. All she knows is, Okay.
36 00:05:23.640 ⇒ 00:05:32.819 Amber Lin: where does this come from? So I can make sure it’s correct. So essentially need I was thinking, did you send it yet, or haven’t we haven’t done it yet?
37 00:05:33.180 ⇒ 00:05:34.359 Luke Daque: We haven’t sent it to Kim
38 00:05:34.360 ⇒ 00:05:37.660 Amber Lin: Okay, okay, sounds good. I guess we
39 00:05:37.920 ⇒ 00:05:41.920 Amber Lin: we could send it today. So she has some time to double check
40 00:05:42.560 ⇒ 00:05:43.180 Luke Daque: Yeah, sure.
41 00:05:43.180 ⇒ 00:05:47.080 Amber Lin: I would like to update them on the progress. Or what do you
42 00:05:47.190 ⇒ 00:05:51.019 Amber Lin: think is the progress here on the pull parts, part
43 00:05:52.420 ⇒ 00:06:02.099 Luke Daque: So progress is like, yeah. 1st one is the documentation. So he she can like Kim, can also like work on her end to like. See wh, which
44 00:06:02.560 ⇒ 00:06:04.922 Luke Daque: which ones are like, what’s going on
45 00:06:05.720 ⇒ 00:06:08.629 Luke Daque: The other thing is, I did also
46 00:06:09.660 ⇒ 00:06:13.659 Luke Daque: put it in the put in the chat, like the differences between
47 00:06:13.780 ⇒ 00:06:16.830 Luke Daque: the real numbers versus the
48 00:06:18.130 ⇒ 00:06:20.990 Luke Daque: at least for Amazon, the screenshot from Amazon.
49 00:06:21.120 ⇒ 00:06:24.230 Luke Daque: Maybe we can talk about that. I can share my screen
50 00:06:24.580 ⇒ 00:06:25.160 Amber Lin: 4,
51 00:06:25.160 ⇒ 00:06:26.130 Luke Daque: That’s easier.
52 00:06:29.590 ⇒ 00:06:39.780 Luke Daque: So we do this. Maybe I can open up real and compare it with
53 00:06:41.800 ⇒ 00:06:44.470 Luke Daque: with a screenshot. Can you see my screen? By the way.
54 00:06:45.330 ⇒ 00:06:46.900 Amber Lin: Yes.
55 00:06:48.690 ⇒ 00:06:52.120 Luke Daque: So I already reverted real to
56 00:06:53.000 ⇒ 00:07:00.670 Luke Daque: The previous version, which is like a a closer, the numbers are pre, are closer. The only con here is we won’t be able to see
57 00:07:01.140 ⇒ 00:07:02.560 Luke Daque: the product class.
58 00:07:03.140 ⇒ 00:07:04.950 Luke Daque: Wait. This isn’t the one.
59 00:07:05.050 ⇒ 00:07:08.619 Luke Daque: This is still the old and the unreverted one.
60 00:07:10.010 ⇒ 00:07:12.709 Luke Daque: I guess this is the reverted one. Yeah.
61 00:07:13.900 ⇒ 00:07:16.959 Luke Daque: So I’ve been. I’ve had like so many tabs open
62 00:07:17.710 ⇒ 00:07:28.150 Amber Lin: I I would have recommended this to me. I use a web browser called Arc. It makes my life so much easier. I recommend that you check it out
63 00:07:30.060 ⇒ 00:07:32.739 Luke Daque: Arc, yeah. Mark.
64 00:07:32.950 ⇒ 00:07:34.470 Amber Lin: Browser.
65 00:07:35.253 ⇒ 00:07:39.590 Amber Lin: I didn’t spell Browser very correctly, but that’s not
66 00:07:39.960 ⇒ 00:07:42.679 Luke Daque: Yeah, cool. Yeah, I’ll I’ll take a look. There.
67 00:07:42.680 ⇒ 00:07:43.130 Amber Lin: Yeah.
68 00:07:43.130 ⇒ 00:07:51.559 Luke Daque: Okay, yeah. So this is, this is then the updated one that I just made yesterday.
69 00:07:52.270 ⇒ 00:07:56.205 Luke Daque: So I removed the product class cause.
70 00:07:57.970 ⇒ 00:08:05.099 Luke Daque: yeah. The the reason why I believe that was like complicating things is because product class can only be
71 00:08:05.570 ⇒ 00:08:12.340 Luke Daque: determined if we know, like per item ordered right? So like we.
72 00:08:12.500 ⇒ 00:08:17.969 Luke Daque: someone can have an a single order. But there’s like multiple items in that order.
73 00:08:19.430 ⇒ 00:08:24.789 Luke Daque: So like a single order, like like ordering in Amazon, you can.
74 00:08:25.010 ⇒ 00:08:27.819 Luke Daque: you can create, you can have, like, multiple
75 00:08:28.810 ⇒ 00:08:35.870 Luke Daque: different orders in a single order, right? Something like that. Like, if you’re, you’re buying a heat pump and then buying also.
76 00:08:36.049 ⇒ 00:08:37.260 Luke Daque: like some
77 00:08:37.480 ⇒ 00:08:45.240 Luke Daque: other tool parts into just a single order. But yeah, basically, I think I think, like, that’s confusing the numbers
78 00:08:45.400 ⇒ 00:08:46.010 Amber Lin: Hey!
79 00:08:46.180 ⇒ 00:08:53.079 Luke Daque: Like for the discounts. For example, maybe the heat pump is the only one that has discount. And then, since there’s 2 items, it’s like
80 00:08:53.900 ⇒ 00:08:56.499 Luke Daque: counted twice, or something like that, I don’t know, but
81 00:08:56.500 ⇒ 00:08:57.580 Amber Lin: Let’s see it
82 00:08:57.580 ⇒ 00:09:04.329 Luke Daque: So I just remove that for now, but retain the selling platform because this because this doesn’t matter, it doesn’t.
83 00:09:04.530 ⇒ 00:09:06.420 Luke Daque: It’s still an order level
84 00:09:06.530 ⇒ 00:09:14.059 Luke Daque: dimension, like, even yeah. So we we will still know if it’s coming from Amazon or shopify or whatnot.
85 00:09:15.200 ⇒ 00:09:25.009 Luke Daque: So yeah, this is what it looks like for the month of January, if we just filter Amazon.
86 00:09:25.190 ⇒ 00:09:27.659 Luke Daque: And this is already coming from
87 00:09:29.120 ⇒ 00:09:34.549 Luke Daque: the all orders, basically. And it’s it’s not from the line item level.
88 00:09:34.800 ⇒ 00:09:42.860 Luke Daque: So we are actually seeing a hundred, 75,000 total sales for January.
89 00:09:43.070 ⇒ 00:09:44.960 Luke Daque: I have. I have March, and
90 00:09:45.260 ⇒ 00:09:49.400 Luke Daque: and comparing that to the screenshot that they have.
91 00:09:50.488 ⇒ 00:09:55.229 Luke Daque: They have like a hundred 57. So we’re actually like a bit higher here
92 00:09:55.500 ⇒ 00:09:56.260 Amber Lin: Okay.
93 00:09:56.260 ⇒ 00:09:59.669 Luke Daque: By like 20,000 or something 18,000,
94 00:10:00.490 ⇒ 00:10:18.059 Luke Daque: and then they have this total minus Amazon fees. Right? So if we, if we reverse this, like Amazon fees, would be like 54,000 or something. So because this is like total minus whatever the Amazon fees is. So in in this instance, it’s like 54,000.
95 00:10:18.370 ⇒ 00:10:24.519 Luke Daque: This is probably where it’s like a very different cause. Our fees are just
96 00:10:25.270 ⇒ 00:10:28.050 Luke Daque: in the like $200.
97 00:10:28.190 ⇒ 00:10:31.110 Luke Daque: So maybe this is something that we may.
98 00:10:31.390 ⇒ 00:10:34.960 Luke Daque: I I would need to look into like I’m not sure.
99 00:10:35.130 ⇒ 00:10:38.649 Luke Daque: Maybe there’s some fees that we don’t know of.
100 00:10:39.216 ⇒ 00:10:42.960 Luke Daque: But yeah, we are getting fees from both the
101 00:10:43.460 ⇒ 00:10:51.080 Luke Daque: Fba fees like fulfilled by Amazon. And whatever Amazon has in their fees, sales.
102 00:10:51.728 ⇒ 00:10:54.659 Luke Daque: Yeah, at this point, maybe if
103 00:10:56.140 ⇒ 00:11:02.420 Luke Daque: if Kim can provide us with like more details as well as to like what the Amazon fees are, because they
104 00:11:03.290 ⇒ 00:11:05.300 Luke Daque: because maybe we’re like missing something
105 00:11:05.620 ⇒ 00:11:07.819 Luke Daque: like, for sure we’re missing something like
106 00:11:08.240 ⇒ 00:11:08.770 Amber Lin: I see.
107 00:11:08.770 ⇒ 00:11:09.959 Luke Daque: 200. Yeah.
108 00:11:11.580 ⇒ 00:11:13.130 Amber Lin: So I think
109 00:11:14.210 ⇒ 00:11:23.650 Amber Lin: there’s 2 things that I’m thinking about. Right. So how do we show Ben that we’re having progress
110 00:11:23.770 ⇒ 00:11:25.400 Amber Lin: because he is pissed.
111 00:11:25.650 ⇒ 00:11:29.232 Amber Lin: So how do we make sure that he’s
112 00:11:29.680 ⇒ 00:11:30.400 Luke Daque: Well.
113 00:11:30.400 ⇒ 00:11:32.660 Amber Lin: Something like, what can we tell him
114 00:11:33.140 ⇒ 00:11:37.740 Luke Daque: I think our profit is actually more, I would say, like,
115 00:11:41.110 ⇒ 00:11:45.909 Luke Daque: we have more data to to get the the actual profit. So
116 00:11:46.240 ⇒ 00:11:53.729 Luke Daque: here. It’s like negative, because in, in our calculation for profit, we’re actually including marketing cost
117 00:11:55.570 ⇒ 00:12:04.940 Luke Daque: shipment cost refunds which they don’t in here. So they only have cogs, which is like cost of production.
118 00:12:04.940 ⇒ 00:12:05.770 Amber Lin: That’s wrong.
119 00:12:06.550 ⇒ 00:12:15.079 Luke Daque: Which is like we’re still a bit higher here by like 5,000 compared to like 56,000, and then their cost of Fbm.
120 00:12:16.350 ⇒ 00:12:21.760 Luke Daque: Sure what this is. 3,000. But shipping cost is actually like a hundred, 2,000.
121 00:12:22.170 ⇒ 00:12:28.780 Luke Daque: And then they have like. That’s how they calculate, calculate, profit. It’s just this one minus this, minus this.
122 00:12:29.240 ⇒ 00:12:31.590 Luke Daque: which is profit. They’re not.
123 00:12:31.800 ⇒ 00:12:34.869 Luke Daque: They’re excluding marketing costs and refunds.
124 00:12:35.030 ⇒ 00:12:39.960 Luke Daque: which is pretty high, as you can see here, like 200,000 for refunds, 300,000 for
125 00:12:40.390 ⇒ 00:12:49.810 Luke Daque: marketing costs. And yeah, and this is something maybe Kim can also verify, because I believe
126 00:12:50.100 ⇒ 00:12:59.290 Luke Daque: she did mention that it’s like around the 30,000 for marketing. So maybe we are like duplicating something here from the marketing perspective.
127 00:12:59.550 ⇒ 00:13:00.060 Amber Lin: Hmm.
128 00:13:01.370 ⇒ 00:13:04.669 Luke Daque: And refunds does look quite high.
129 00:13:04.790 ⇒ 00:13:07.449 Luke Daque: So maybe there’s also something going on here.
130 00:13:08.920 ⇒ 00:13:12.239 Luke Daque: But yeah, as to progress,
131 00:13:17.500 ⇒ 00:13:17.880 Amber Lin: Not true.
132 00:13:17.880 ⇒ 00:13:21.989 Luke Daque: If there’s like any specific stuff that we
133 00:13:22.430 ⇒ 00:13:24.819 Luke Daque: we can say to Ben as
134 00:13:26.000 ⇒ 00:13:31.470 Luke Daque: yeah. Aside from the fact that we just shared the documentation to Kim
135 00:13:32.180 ⇒ 00:13:32.580 Amber Lin: I see.
136 00:13:32.580 ⇒ 00:13:33.630 Luke Daque: The documentation to keep
137 00:13:33.925 ⇒ 00:13:37.759 Amber Lin: So I’ll have. I’ll word it. I’ll word it in a way of
138 00:13:39.250 ⇒ 00:13:41.479 Amber Lin: Do do you plan to work on the weekend
139 00:13:42.190 ⇒ 00:13:43.660 Luke Daque: Yeah, I can. I can do that.
140 00:13:44.010 ⇒ 00:13:49.020 Amber Lin: If only if you want to cause if you do that, I can. I can tell
141 00:13:49.220 ⇒ 00:13:53.980 Amber Lin: Ben of like, oh, our team’s gonna work on the weekend, you know.
142 00:13:55.860 ⇒ 00:13:56.620 Amber Lin: Oh.
143 00:13:56.950 ⇒ 00:13:58.490 Luke Daque: Oh, man, it’s just like.
144 00:13:59.400 ⇒ 00:14:06.300 Luke Daque: yeah, we can. We can do that just to like, get him at ease a bit, just like he did mention like a week’s, but not
145 00:14:07.330 ⇒ 00:14:09.260 Luke Daque: like he’s pretty pissed, you know.
146 00:14:09.860 ⇒ 00:14:16.210 Amber Lin: Yeah, yikes. So I’ll have to run. But I will
147 00:14:16.710 ⇒ 00:14:22.120 Amber Lin: slack you. And then hopefully, Kim responds, because I don’t think she did yet.
148 00:14:22.530 ⇒ 00:14:29.439 Amber Lin: So once we have that, I guess we can say we have some progress
149 00:14:30.790 ⇒ 00:14:31.659 Luke Daque: Sounds good
150 00:14:31.660 ⇒ 00:14:33.140 Amber Lin: Okay, sounds good.
151 00:14:33.280 ⇒ 00:14:35.420 Amber Lin: I’ll talk to you later.
152 00:14:36.690 ⇒ 00:14:38.049 Luke Daque: Sounds, good thanks.
153 00:14:38.210 ⇒ 00:14:38.610 Amber Lin: Awesome.
154 00:14:38.960 ⇒ 00:14:39.710 Luke Daque: Bye, bye.
