A Trillion-Dollar Industry, the Customer Whisperer & Leading from Behind ... 

Do you ever wonder what happens to products when you return them to the store? I never considered this aspect of the supply chain until I met John Lingon from Chicago. Keeping items out of the landfill is one of the key aspects of the remanufacturing and reverse logistics industries.

In this week's episode of the Get Hired Up podcast, John and I also discuss:
 

🔴 The importance of building relationships
🔴 The coach-player leadership style John utilizes
🔴 A rags-to-riches story about a Fortune 500 customer who nearly walked out the door
🔴 What has surprised him in his career so far
 

... And much more! 

John is a senior commerical leader with nearly three decades of profitable success for $15 million to $30 billion manufacturing, remanufacturing, forward and reverse logistics, distribution, and engineering product companies wanting to grow organizally and inorganically. He has collaborated with customer and partners in industrial, aerospace and defense, medical, water, automotive, oil and gas, white goods, consumer products, and e-commerce.

I hope you enjoy the show!

Happy International Client's Day

Thank you for being part of our personal branding and business optimization community with members from all around the world.

The concept of having a holiday that would celebrate clients worldwide and their contribution to various businesses, from multinational corporations to mom and pop convenience stores, originated in Klaipėda, Lithuania, in 2010.

It was then and then that someone finally said, “Why not acknowledge our clients? After all, clients are the foundation of every business”, leading to the very first International Client’s Day being celebrated on March 19th, 2010.

Last evening we celebrated my sister's birthday with a night away at a lovely Halifax (CANADA) hotel with lots of fun, giggles, and relaxation. Here we are from left to right: Brenna Farmer (my daughter), Sarah Thomas (my sis), and me (Maureen Farmer, CEO/Founder of Westgate). 

Have an optimized week ahead!
