Excellent Freight Broker and Freight Agent (Part 5 - Be a Professional)

This blog post continues our discussion concerning the fundamentals associated with "Excellent Freight Brokers".  Excellent brokers strive to be professionals.  Professionals know their trade; they are respected in the industry, maintain standards and perform at a higher level than others.  Customers (shippers and carriers) want to deal with professionals.  Excellent brokers ensure they only work with other professionals.  They ensure they protect themselves, their company and their customers by doing the proper due diligence to ensure the shipment is safe and hauled by qualified carriers.  They also ensure they only work with credit worthy shippers.  Many companies state that they want only professionals.  Many say this in their advertisements, but so many don't live the part.  Many freight brokers are far from professional.  They have forgotten about the basics, have poor communication skills and don't treat people fairly.  

Excellent freight brokers know how to deal with people; they develop relationships and effectively sell themselves and their company.  They have mastered the basics of the transportation industry and provide superior service by using effective communication.  Excellent freight brokers and agents strive to be professionals in everything they do.  These are a few of the key fundamentals that differentiate the good freight broker/agent from the excellent freight broker/agent.  If you have questions on how to become an excellent freight broker/agent please contact Somerset Logistics at www.somersetlogistics.com.  We challenge you to come and be a part of our Team of "Excellent Freight Brokers and Independent Freight Agents."
