💡 Profit recovery is the most underrated growth strategy on Amazon.
Everyone talks about selling more. Nobody talks about recovering what's already owed. But I've built a routine around it, and it's consistently the fastest money I make for clients.
Here's the five-report audit I run every month:
Reimbursement Report — Amazon owes you for lost, damaged, or overcharged inventory. Claim it.
Stranded Inventory — Unsellable stock still bills storage fees. Fix or remove it.
FBA Fee Preview — Wrong dimensions cost you money daily. Correct them.
Return Reasons by SKU — Your customers tell you what to fix. Listen.
Inventory Age Report — Old stock drains cash. Cut it loose.
This takes 30 minutes. It's found anywhere from $200 to $2,000 in a single sitting. And unlike chasing a new sale, it doesn't require traffic, luck, or budget—just attention.
The sellers who build this habit stop leaking money and start compounding it. The ones who skip it stay busy and wonder where their margin went.
Which report will you check this week? And which one have you been avoiding? 👇

Does someone on your team lose a day or two building the sales report every week or month?
That was the starting point at Mokobara, the premium travel brand. Pulling sales across all their stores, checking returns, reconciling the numbers and emailing each manager took 1 to 2 days every cycle, with 8+ hours of that spent just reconciling.
I built them an automation on Make.com a few months ago. It has run on its own ever since, weekly and monthly:
Make pulls every sales record from BigQuery, 100K to 250K per cycle. That is too many for one request, so it reads them page by page and stitches them back together.
It calculates the numbers the team actually uses: net sales per store after returns and discounts, return rates and the change against the last period.
It builds a CSV with the full breakdown and a short email summary you can read in 60 seconds.
It reads a Google Sheet of store representatives and emails every one of them the report for their own store.
The result: the reporting problem is gone. The report went from 1 to 2 days of manual work to fully automatic, and the 8+ hours of reconciliation dropped to zero.
Two things I would do the same way again:
Calculate "net sales" in the automation, not in the warehouse. The business rule for what counts as a net sale is not what the raw data stores.
Send people their slice, not the whole report. One report for everyone gets skimmed by everyone.
The figures in the image are placeholders, the real ones stay with the client.
