82 | How to Spot (and Avoid) a Love-Bombing Logistics Partner

About this episode

This episode discusses how to identify and avoid logistics partners that engage in love-bombing tactics.

There are tons of general 3PLs out there who bait CPG brands by selling a dream that promises not only the best rates but the best service, too. Some would call this love-bombing. But with no data or proof to back “the best” they claim to be, their true colors are revealed over time. The result? CPG brands end up getting slammed with late fees and losing significant on-shelf gross profit. Tune in to learn how to spot (and avoid) a love-bombing 3PL.
