Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Mastering the Last Mile: The Future of Delivery and Convenience

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

Target and Walmart especially have done a really good job.And it's funny, you have that app too? I have that husband mode as well. That's really good, it's getting around. Target and Walmart especially have done a really good job with what is called the last mile.

Amazon struggles in most delivery services, UPS, USPS, FedEx. They struggle with the last mile, meaning they can deliver that product all the way but can't get it quite to your doorstep because you're not there, right?  And so what Walmart and Target have done really well is you order it online but you can pick it up curbside at the store. They have a lot of outlets, Amazon does not have outlets.

So they have a competitive advantage there. I think you're going to see same-day pickup and curbside delivery be very much a trend of the future. Drones are coming, 4 million packages.

Chick-fil-A delivered 4 million packages in the state of Florida last year using drones.Drones are coming. The question is going to be how, when, and how much?
