    Sales Insights for Logistics Leaders with Trey Griggs
    Oct 8 2025
    In “Sales Insights for Logistics Leaders”, Joe Lynch and Trey Griggs, Founder and Chief Encouragement Officer of BETA Consulting Group, discuss the strategy for logistics leaders to build a trusted brand and create sales momentum using clear messaging, social proof (testimonials), and self-awareness to replace reliance on their shrinking professional network. About Trey Griggs Trey Griggs is the Founder and Chief Encouragement Officer of BETA Consulting Group, dedicated to building great brands within the transportation industry. His company focuses on sales & marketing consulting, including Go-To-Marketing strategies, crafting engaging messaging and building social proof. He is a podcast host, as well as a highly sought-after event emcee, author and keynote speaker, focusing on sales, marketing, leadership and self-awareness. About Beta Consulting Group BETA Consulting Group is in the business of building brands through foundational messaging and customer testimonial videos, along with creating relevant content for the transportation industry through LinkedIn LIVE shows and industry events to entertain, educate and inspire. Trey collaborates with industry titans in sales and marketing to ensure his clients have the best resources to build their brands and drive revenue growth. Key Takeaways: Sales Insights for Logistics Leaders In “Sales Insights for Logistics Leaders”, Joe Lynch and Trey Griggs, Founder and Chief Encouragement Officer of BETA Consulting Group, discuss the strategy for logistics leaders to build a trusted brand and create sales momentum using clear messaging, social proof (testimonials), and self-awareness to replace reliance on their shrinking professional network.Shift from Network Selling to a True Marketing Engine: Selling exclusively to your existing network in logistics eventually hits a wall. Sustainable, massive sales momentum requires building a defined marketing engine that consistently generates brand awareness, trust, and a predictable pipeline of high-intent buyers.Foundational Messaging is the Sales Accelerator: Logistics companies must move away from confusing industry jargon. Leaders should adopt clear, customer-centric messaging frameworks (like Storybrand) to ensure prospects immediately understand the problem being solved and the solution offered, thereby reducing the sales cycle and increasing engagement.Social Proof is the New Sales Pitch: Relying on sales reps alone is inefficient. Logistics leaders must proactively build social proof—primarily through customer testimonial videos—to let clients do the selling. This "social proof" builds immediate trust and credibility, especially in the technology sector.Self-Awareness Drives Sales Leadership: Effective sales leadership in logistics technology is rooted in self-awareness. Leaders who understand their personal strengths and weaknesses are better equipped to coach their teams, build strong personal brands, and create a culture of intentional, rather than reactive, sales performance.Build a Brand, Not Just a Sales Team: In a crowded logistics technology market, the brand is the lead generator. Focus your consulting and content efforts on building a known and trusted brand that attracts high-quality buyers who are already predisposed to work with you.The Breadth of Logistics Tech Knowledge Matters: For sales teams selling technology (TMS, Visibility, RPA), deep knowledge across the entire freight ecosystem is crucial. Leaders must ensure their teams can speak fluently about complex solutions to both brokers and carriers to position their product effectively.Embrace the Coach's Mindset: Drawing from his background as a teacher and coach, Trey emphasizes that sales leaders should prioritize coaching and development. Instilling discipline and a focus on core sales techniques is the key to creating a team that consistently exceeds goals, regardless of market volatility.

  • Private Fleet Net Zero: The Deadhead is Dead with Russ Jones

    Private Fleet Net Zero: The Deadhead is Dead with Russ Jones
    Oct 2 2025
    In “Private Fleet Net Zero: The Deadhead is Dead”, Joe Lynch and Russell Jones, CEO & Co-founder of Private Fleet Net Zero, discuss how PFNZ is using AI to eliminate the deadhead of private fleets, turning empty miles into profitable, superior capacity while simultaneously driving significant progress toward net zero. About Russ Jones Russell Jones co-founded Private Fleet Net Zero to help the 45% of trucks that are in Private Fleets with usually empty backhauls find loads from $50B+ of 3PL freight spend, leveraging his leadership of Cargo Chief, which enables 1,200+ 3PL buyers with $8B+ of spend to buy transportation capacity more profitably. Previously, Mr. Jones co-founded and led two cloud-based physical security firms. He was also the founding CEO of Clearvox Communications, which pioneered the market for cellular phone headsets, which he sold to Plantronics. Beforehand at Adaptec, Mr. Jones doubled a $50M channel products business to $100M. Mr. Jones has been awarded 10 patents, and holds a BSBA with highest honors from Boston University and an MBA from the Harvard Business School. About Private Fleet Net Zero Private Fleet Net Zero, PFNZ, is uniquely aggregating 10,000s of trucks with 1,000s of lanes of underutilized, underpriced, theft-free and superior private and dedicated fleet trucking capacity and matching via multi patent-pending technologies and artificial intelligence to $10Bs of freight spend registered on our cloud-based platform, while generating a compelling client ROI. Our network is quickly and efficiently growing both fleets and 3PLs on PFNZ, which is on a path to save 30M+ tree equivalents. Key Takeaways: Private Fleet Net Zero: The Deadhead In “Private Fleet Net Zero: The Deadhead is Dead”, Joe Lynch and Russell Jones, CEO & Co-founder of Private Fleet Net Zero, discuss how PFNZ is using AI to eliminate the deadhead of private fleets, turning empty miles into profitable, superior capacity while simultaneously driving significant progress toward net zero.The Death of the Deadhead: The core problem PFNZ addresses is the massive inefficiency of empty backhauls ("deadhead"), which characterizes nearly 45% of the total US trucking capacity operated by private fleets. The episode explains how eliminating this waste is the key to both operational profit and environmental sustainability.The $10B Capacity Solution: PFNZ is uniquely aggregating tens of thousands of private fleet trucks, transforming previously unused lanes into a powerful network. This new capacity is highly desirable to buyers, described by PFNZ as "underpriced, theft-free, and superior."AI-Driven Efficiency: Russ Jones details how multi-patent-pending technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are essential to the solution. The AI efficiently matches this newly aggregated capacity with the $10Bs of freight spend from 3PLs registered on their platform.The Sustainability ROI: The episode connects logistics efficiency directly to environmental impact. By eliminating empty miles, PFNZ is on a path to save the equivalent of 30 million+ trees, demonstrating that net-zero goals can be achieved through fundamental changes in transportation economics.Unlocking New Profit Centers: For private fleet operators, the partnership generates a "compelling client ROI" by turning what was a sunk-cost (the empty backhaul) into a profitable revenue-generating leg, fundamentally changing the economics of fleet ownership.A Proven Disruptor at the Helm: Russ Jones brings a deep history of tech entrepreneurship and market disruption, having pioneered the cellular headset market (Clearvox/Plantronics) and successfully built cloud-based physical security firms. His decade of experience leading Cargo Chief provides the foundation for integrating private fleet capacity with the existing 3PL freight market.Leveraging Existing Market Structures: The platform’s success is built on Jones's knowledge of the brokerage world, leveraging his previous experience at Cargo Chief, which currently enables over 1,200 3PL buyers with more than $8 billion in annual spend, ensuring rapid adoption and integration.
