In this episode of Everything is Logistics, Blythe explains the reasons behind her decision to separate her podcast from her web design company, Digital Dispatch. She discusses the need for better communication with clients, upgrading her financial acumen, and streamlining processes to maintain profitability and sustainability.QUOTES:"I went through and I wrote down every part of the process for onboarding, off-boarding, what happens during lead conversations, what happens when somebody becomes a customer, what happens when they move into an active opportunity. I ripped it all down and built it back up from the ashes of those flames from the previous processes." - Blythe Brumleve"I'm a process junkie, and I would not be able to figure out my prices, I would not be able to develop a stronger financial acumen, if I didn't take all of my processes and just tear them down and start almost from like a zero-based budgeting perspective, but start as zero-base processing perspective." - Blythe Brumleve"I thought if I was giving a fair price to me 10 years ago, me then, that was good enough. And that shouldn't be good enough. But I was creating this perception of myself and of my work and of my business, that I was cheap." - Blythe Brumleve"If you never hear from me, it's a good thing; everything is running smoothly. If you hear from me, things are a little shaky. The problem is that my tech team does a really great job. So the clients never heard from me. And that was a gap in our communications." - Blythe BrumleveLINKS:Digital Dispatch WebsiteWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback? Ideas for a future episode?

Creating content in-house gives you a massive advantage in the market. Yet, content creation is still one of the most outsourced items for in-house marketing teams. When you outsource your content creation (and organic distribution) you lose key advantages. The first is that you don't give your in-house subject matter experts the ability to speak your company's unique value prop or opinions. The second is you aren't in the weeds on social media every day hearing what the market is saying about your industry, so you're always one step behind and end up being reactive, instead of leading the industry. In this episode, Chris talks about why it's so important to bring content creation in-house, and what parts you can outsource without losing value.

Reducing Cost and Improving Transit Time for eCommerce Shipments from China with Brian Miller Brian Miller and Joe Lynch discuss eCommerce shipments from China, which can be challenging for small to mid-size eCommerce companies. Brian and his company, Easy China Warehouse have a unique approach that can reduce the cost and transit time for shipping from China to the USA. About Brian Miller Brian Miller is the founder and CEO of Easy China Warehouse (ECW) based in Shenzhen, China. Prior to founding ECW, Brian co-founded a blue tooth speaker eCommerce company so he understands the unique challenges faced by eCommerce companies shipping from China. Earlier in his career, Brian held leadership positions with Chinese manufacturing companies. Brian earned a BS in Business Administration from The University of Connecticut. Brian speaks fluent Mandarin and lives in Shenzhen. About Easy China Warehouse Easy China Warehouse, based in Shenzhen, specializes in warehouse and transportation solutions for eCommerce and Amazon FBA sellers. With its proximity to Hong Kong, Easy China Warehouse (ECW) can provide customers with the fastest and most economical shipping lanes in the world. ECW ships to all Amazon FBA warehouses globally and can drop ship from its Chinese warehouse directly to customers anywhere in the world. In addition, they provide value-added services such as product kitting, bundling, simple assembly, and package, and insert manufacturing. ECW provides the most flexible and cost-effective global fulfillment solution for eCommerce sellers manufacturing in China. Key Takeaways – Reducing Cost and Improving Transit Time for eCommerce Shipments from China Typical Problems for eCommerce Shipments from China (particularly LCL) For many eCommerce companies, their product is manufactured in China and then shipped to the USA. Smaller eCommerce companies, especially start-ups, do not always have enough product (sales) to fill a shipping container so they are forced to use Less Than Container Load (LCL) services. Less Than Container Load (LCL) is a shipment that will not fill a container. With an LCL shipment, you pay for your load to be shipped in a container with one or more loads from other customers of the freight transport provider. While LCL is a good option for many, it is more expensive than buying a full container and the consolidation and coordination often increases the transit time. Reducing Cost and Improving Transit Time for eCommerce Shipments from China On the podcast, Brian Miller explained another approach to ocean shipping for eCommerce companies that typically would use LCL. Brian’s company, Easy China Warehouse, and other companies like his use this approach. Rather than ship your product to a freight forwarder in China for LCL consolidation and eventually shipping to the USA, the product is shipped to a China warehouse that labels the product with shipping instructions (UPS, FedEx) and consolidates it with other companies product. While it is similar to the LCL consolidation, the process is faster and saves days or even a week in transit time. Since the product is labeled in China, the breakdown and shipping coordination in the USA is greatly reduced saving more time and money. Since Brian’s company, Easy China Warehouse specializes in eCommerce shipments, they understand the unique challenges faced by eCommerce companies.

The Logistics Podcast learned what year-round care and compassion look like on a recent visit to GEFCO's Coventry warehouse, which won our Wellbeing Initiative Award in September. Retention of engaged staff, fewer absences and close teams are just some of the business benefits.    GEFCO Incentives include free fish & chips, free health checks, free haircuts, free camping festivals for family and friends… Its ‘brew days' – where teams stop, gather, have a cuppa and chat about how they are – have led to team members opening up about problems, which they've then received support for.   We met warehouse operative Kevin, who was one of 50 staff who completed a Coventry to Paris bike ride, something which he told me relaxed everyone – at every level – and brought staff closer together. Then you have the mental health first aiders, trained and qualified to listen to personal issues which may be causing a staff member stress.   If you've implemented a successful wellbeing programme at your operation, register your interest in entering the Wellbeing Initiative Award in 2020 (https://www.logisticsawards.co.uk/en/forms/register-your-interest-2020.html) .

This episode's discussion features Benjamin Niles, Chairman of the Barbados Vocational Training Board (BVBT), and centres on education. Our host Collis Williams purports that we the people of the Caribbean are not harnessing the power of logistics as we should; a problem that is clearly rooted in the way in which we were educated.

In this episode, our host Collis Williams engages in a very passionate and high energy discussion with Belizean Egbert Irving, Program Manager at the Sagicor Cave Hill School of Business & Management. Egbert's role puts him in a position where he has access to the fertile minds of young people from across the region and as such, he is considered to be a critical person in the strategy for safeguarding the sustainability of our Caribbean people. As a moulder of minds, Collis charges Egbert with repositioning the mindset of our youth to help them understand not only how important it is to get in line as an entrepreneur, but also to be part of the agitation to facilitate the mastery of their own destiny. There is also a strong appeal to our youth to push their way through the contagion of old staid ideas that currently remain intact and ultimately hamper their progress.Other critical points discussed include the fact that:Jobs as we have traditionally known them, no longer exist.The concept of a salary has to become less current.We must think differently about earning a living and what we need to do to contribute to the economic growth of our countries.We need to enfranchise and incentivise our people to take the mantle up and engage in entrepreneurship as their route to being masters of their own destinies.Social goods can stagnate room for our young entrepreneurs to blossom.There is a need to banish our seemingly innate fear to take a chance on ourselves and our talents as well as remedy the inherent level of mendicancy that fails to protect our small entrepreneurs.Visit our website at https://www.rdleagle.com/podcast/ for show notes and to join the discussion on this episode.

If there's one thing the vast majority of Caribbean entrepreneurs attempting to take hold of the rapidly growing e-commerce market can agree on, it's this: accepting internet payments is often a challenge and more often than not the available options are exceedingly limited and loaded with service fees.We understand that it's not just the logistics of getting products to the international customer that poses a problem for Caribbean entrepreneurs but also the financial logistics of trading with that same international customer base. That's why in this episode we feature financial technology (FinTech) professional Rasheed J Griffith who helps us to understand these challenges and sheds light on ways that we can go about fixing them. You'll walk away with an understanding of:The specific structural dilemma facing the Caribbean as it pertains to internet paymentsHow we can get past this structural dilemmaWhy in today's world cash is no longer kingHow we can potentially reduce our perceived financial structural risk using preexisting infrastructureVisit our website at https://www.rdleagle.com/podcast/ for show notes and to join the discussion on this episode.

There is a new wave of young entrepreneurs sprouting within the Caribbean marketplace. These entrepreneurs look outwardly beyond our shores and are well-primed to contribute to the economic growth of our region. When attempting to do so however, they are often barraged with a multitude of logistical challenges, which in turn reduce their ability to compete on the world stage and pose a significant threat to their sustainability. In this episode we hear from Jannene Inniss, co-owner of the small agro-processing company, Groen Leaf. Jannene knows the challenges faced by Caribbean entrepreneurs all too well and shares some of her personal experiences with us. Together with our host, Jannene pleads for the paradigm shift needed for our region to create the platform that facilitates the evolving entrepreneur as well as allows them to both export their talents to the world and be competitive.Visit our website at https://www.rdleagle.com/podcast/ to join the discussion on this episode.

The beauty of being at a critical juncture in our region’s history is that it presents a starting point for evolution and change. It is a place where we take steps to alter the way our people perceive business, technology and change. Where we banish protectionism and open up our markets to competition. It is at a critical juncture that we incentivize innovation and eagerly press ahead with the process of creative destruction–a process that sees to it that archaic ideas are eliminated and replaced with new innovations that generate productivity gains. Herein lies the path to economic growth and prosperity.We are at a critical juncture. Are the people of the Caribbean ready for the necessary change, or are we content with romanticizing the past, asks our Then Let’s Fix It! host Collis Williams. Economist and millennial thought leader Simon Naitram presents his point of view.Visit https://www.rdleagle.com/podcast to join the discussion.

It's game time. You're two love down and there are ten minutes to go. What will you do? Are you going to score two goals in the ten minutes remaining in the football game or are you going to aim for three? Defenders will opt to score two goals with the aim of drawing the game but in actuality, two goals can't save your team. Strikers on the other hand, will change their strategy and formulate a plan of attack that ensures that they score three goals in order to win the game. In the Caribbean, we need more strikers.In this episode, Leadership Development Professional Marjorie Wharton tackles the resistance to and the inevitability of the change needed to make the evolution from where we presently are in the logistics industry in the Caribbean to where we need to be. We delve into the fact that the necessary change must come from first principles—a change in mindset and the willingness to disrupt the status quo so that the strikers among us can score goals.Visit our website at www.rdleagle.com/podcast to join in on the discussion.
