Episode 30 addresses the listener question, "What is outsourcing and should all businesses do it?" (and yes, all businesses should do it, especially the smaller ones...) -- the biggest reason? It enables a business to focus on what they do best. "3PLs," or third party logistics companies, are a great example of this. If you are a jewelry maker, why would you want to build a warehouse, buy software, and manage an enormous inventory and logistics function if you can hire another company to do that for you?
By outsourcing inventory management and logistics, you free up your time and energy to focus on what you do best: make jewelry.
And check out my show Ask Christa! where I review the listener question, answer using practical tips, then offer additional resources (always in the show notes)!
