When a client asked about the shipping crisis I started with that.
I'll share the rest so you wonโt have any excuses either.

Fact, the CA ports are clogged and nothing is going to unclog them any time soon.
The only thing you can do is address the problem from the other sides of the port.
The issue most are having is simply getting their goods moving to begin with.
This has to do with starting ports being clogged as well, but not always for the same reasons.
We have special relationships with Chinese ports has we have offices there.
You do not have time to develop those so instead you need to game plan with your freight forwarder or supplier if they handle your shipping.
One of the main reasons for delays is the fact that space on shipping containers changes every day.
They go up, they go down. Everyday.
Usually youโve already been quoted and paid for your shipping.
Most forwarders and suppliers do not want to go through the hassle of contacting you, explaining this to you, and dealing with any problems from it.
So they just wait.
They just wait until they can get your goods on on the boat for the money they have.
Iโve seen people wait two months like this without knowing why.
Your product could be sitting there waiting because of $100.
Speak with your person handling this and come up with a strategy, maybe even for each shipment.
How long can it wait vs how much can you pay to get it moving.
You should already know the answer. They should too.

Now most factories donโt really want to talk about this because its a while away and its just a pain in the ass.
You need to get them on your side for when the time comes.
Bring them your projections for what you will need.
Get in their mind that you will be bringing easy repeat business.
Preferential treatment is given for things that simple

Weโve spoken before on how to make product development, not only fun and powerful for your team, but profitable.
It is not only essential to systemize your development for those reasons, but because in 2022 the competition will be fierce on all fronts.
Not only customers looking for new things, but when looking to have your new products made?
You will need to be organized and buttoned up.
Front load as much as the work as possible so you bring a lot to the table at the start of quotation with factory.
There it is. There is generally what you need to specifically be focusing on if you get me.
These three things are the cornerstone of a successful strategy for 2022.
No more excuses. Lets get to work.
