It’s no secret that the internet has revolutionized many things, from the way we consume information, purchase goods & do business. It has sped up the process enormously and given people access to more choice and saved them money but cutting out the ‘middle man’ in many cases.

Sales & marketing in the freight industry has existed in it’s current form long before i got into the industry over 16 years ago.
The main methods employed to get new business are:-
- Advertise in Lloyds List or IFW
- Have operational people on the desk try to do telephone sales (rarely works)
- Revisiting lost customers from their database
- Hire Field Sales people
I’d like to go through these current methods briefly, just to highlight why they are no longer the best solutions & what can help to expand & benefit existing databases & outside sales.
It's been a long time coming, but the new website is now live.
For those returning visitors, below is a brief summary of some of the changes we have made.
- Quicker Registration process
- Expanded and improved user profiles, upload logos, enter detailed business information.
- Better templates for requesting Shipping & freight forwarding quotations.
- Better templates for replying to Freight quotes, including Ocean freight, Airfreight, Road & Courier.
- Clean attractive design
There are still many more exciting developments to come, which i'll detail at a later date.
