Back to EpisodesBreaking Barriers: How Small Businesses Can Navigate the Logistics Industry
Description
In this exciting episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure to chat with Eric Vasquez, owner and founder of Veterans Logistics Group. Eric, a logistics professional with a wealth of experience, candidly discussed the journey of his small business in the complex world of supply chain and logistics.
He shares how his company, starting from scratch, navigated the industry to become a successful player, doubling its revenue year over year for four years. We dived deep into their venture into the government space, their first client being FEMA, the hurdles of dealing with red tape, and how being a small business is sometimes an advantage.
Eric's insights into the necessity of perseverance, tackling customer acquisition costs, the importance of diversity in sourcing suppliers, and the reality of digital transformation for small businesses are incredibly valuable.
If you're a small business trying to carve out a space in the supply chain industry, or just interested in the real-life experiences of those on the frontline of logistics, this episode is a must-listen! Tune in to get Eric's unique take on the sector, future goals, and his advice for fellow small businesses. Don't miss this journey from nothing to a multimillion-dollar business!
