How to Apply for the New Amazon Delivery Service Partners Service

So, how do you apply to be part of the program? First, interested entrepreneurs must be approved and approved by Amazon.

In his initial application listed online, Amazon gives five qualifications for the Delivery Service Partner Program:

• "Experience in Hiring and Developing Large Teams"
• to commit to being a full-time DSP owner "
• " Available liquid assets of at least $ 30,000 "
• " Strong credit history "
• " Preferred, but not required, past business ownership "[19659008] In In addition to your basic contact information, the application asks only a few 'yes or no' questions about your experience, past bankruptcies and current financial assets.After expressing an interest (and confirmed that you have $ 30,000 in the bank), there is a longer demand that Amazon will ask you to fill, according to the website.Then it can take between one month and six months to start as a delivery service partner , according to the application. 9659002] For those accepted into the program, the power of the Amazon brand should not be underestimated, New York University's Anindya Ghose, a professor at the Stern School of Business, told CNBC Make It

  "S & # 39; to associate with the Amazon brand, even if you are one of hundreds of delivery companies, is extremely powerful, "says Ghose. If you are creating your own small business at a low price, "then, it's just your brand, and it's going to take forever for anybody to build its own brand, I think that's what it's all about." is the biggest difference for me. 19659002] Of course, no business is foolproof. Do not just quit your job hoping to make $ 300,000 your first year. Even Amazon provides a wide range of potential profits by year – and a lot of small print.

  In addition, the brand connection will mean that you owe Amazon in some ways, says Jeremy Kagan, assistant professor of marketing at Columbia Business School and general manager of the Eugene Lang Entrepreneurship Center. And this can limit your ability to scale.

  "When you make every effort to start a business, it is usually the last few years, when you are established, you have your employees, you" " have your business, that you are really starting to reap the rewards of its growth, and maybe eventually sell it, "says Kagan. But with a company that depends on another brand as a primary (or unique) customer, "I do not know you have a lot of growth opportunities from there."

  Amazon Delivery Service Partners could not be reached for comment.
