"Logistics is intimidating, especially when there's big ol' knucklehead-Yeti's like me roaming around...It doesn't have to be." --> I'm always good for a 1-liner ;) I must say thanks to Trevor Pike, Richard Hill, and Carrianne Dukes and the entire team at The eCom Ops Podcast because I love how they help us convey our message that fulfillment for CPG Products doesn't have to be expensive, hard or intimidating...folks use the term "bottom of the totem pole" and I would say that, "foundational process" is a better term and when it's a great Team, it works. Feel free to share this and help break down the stigma! #Podcast #logistics #consumergoods #TrickyShip #cpg #cpgbrands #cpgindustry #vitamins #supplements #3PL #storage #packing #shipping #Ship #Bulu #BangTheDrum

When the world of retail throws a 'no' your way, it's not the end but an opportunity for a new beginning. Embracing every 'no' with a follow-up, a keen eye on market shifts, and the courage to ask 'why not?' has been my mantra. Remember, a 'no' today could turn into a 'yes' tomorrow if the stars align. Persistence, curiosity, and a bit of detective work in understanding the 'why' behind the 'no' can unlock doors you never knew existed. Keep pushing boundaries, keep asking questions, and above all, keep shining like the rock stars you are. Here's to turning every 'no' into a 'not yet' and every setback into a setup for a comeback.
