The market can be a rollercoaster. Ups, downs, twists and turns . . . it’s hard to predict what tomorrow will bring. But as Tim Tebow wisely said, “Don’t worry about what you can’t control. Our focus and energy need to be on the things we CAN control. Attitude, effort, focus — these are the things we can control.” These are words to live by. And they couldn’t be more true when it comes to succeeding as a freight agent.
While we can’t predict every market shift, we can control how we respond. This is about taking the reins, controlling the ride and steering your business toward success. That’s why we created our latest ebook: to cut through the noise, give you with strategies to capitalize on today’s freight market and set you up to succeed long-term. Here’s what you’ll find inside:
How Are You Differentiating Yourself?
Freight brokers are the driving force behind the supply chain, connecting the dots to get products where they need to be. Pretty impressive, if you ask us. And while there will always be curveballs, one thing stays constant: the need to move goods. This opens up a world of opportunity for freight agents, but only with the right planning, strategy and mindset.
Think about it: everyone has capacity. Why should a customer choose you? In this ebook, we’ll provide valuable tips about how to differentiate yourself, like going the extra mile for your customers. Because the truth is, most of your competitors won’t put in the effort. And that’s where you can build relationships rooted in trust and loyalty. More than half the battle is showing up.
Make Growth A Daily Habit
Leaving things to chance is a recipe for disaster. Map out your goals, from the number of calls you want to hit each day to the number of new customers you want to land each week. With those goals in mind, create a daily, weekly and monthly plan.
But remember: putting a plan on paper is only the first step. Plans only work when you bring them to life! Executing that plan and holding yourself accountable is what separates the average freight brokers from the most successful ones.
Tomorrow Begins Today
Be the freight agent who capitalizes on early signs, builds strong connections and has a clear plan. Don’t wait for opportunity to knock. The time to be aggressive and hungry is now. Why? Because when the market turns, you will have perfectly positioned yourself to maximize your production and earning capabilities (rather than scrambling to catch up like your competitors).
There are qualities that our top performers share that have helped them become the high earners they are today. We talk more about these characteristics in our free ebook to help you understand what it takes to reach the top and achieve the level of success you’ve always envisioned for yourself.
