Hard to find people in this industry that just aren’t mean lol

@@AIChatBot01 I will be early next year. I’m currently with a major brokerage looking to move into sales after a few more broker bonus checks to pad me through the holidays. Why do know of an opportunity?

Hey just watched your how to find shippers video from a year ago amazing vid , question if you build a list of 50 I’m wondering the ratio to loads

[@freightskills]

Each company should have 3-5 contacts at the company
1 company = 3 contacts
So a good list is 150 people

[@freightskills]

Impossible to predict the loads from that it’s a complex lifecycle from contact to loads

[@trindon9439]

Haven’t seen you in a while. Hope all is well. 💪🏾

Do you have a vido on how to get started step by step

[@freightskills]

Not on TH-cam I have a step by step in my foundations program

[@AIChatBot01]

Hey could use some tips and tricks. I got let go as a CSM/ AE from a 100mil brokerage in pgh.
I partnered with an asset carrier to and took my book of business with me. Now I’m running a brokerage trying to help my assets but also servicing my own book.
I have an ops guy and we both book loads. How much rev/margin should i be making a week to decide to bring someone on??

[@freightskills]

I have a direct mentoring program that might be able to help more with this. But you should not be trying to help assets and service a broker book at the same time you need to separate those responsibilities asap.

[@UdieIspec]

Which conventions do you think are best to go to in terms of soliciting potential new customers? We're a new brokerage and have a couple of consistent customers but the margins are horrible across those customers (avg 4% between them).

[@freightskills]

Sounds like you are in produce, lumber or steel. The volume model only works when you have a lot of financial backing and can afford to run at a loss like that.
Right now it's a combo of linkedin, calls and finding experienced talent. I help people do this directly in my private program I can send you some details if you're interested.
