In the podcast interview Nick and Joe discuss winning in a down freight market
- During a down freight market, most freight brokers scale back spending on technology, people, marketing, and training – while this might be an economic necessity for some, it often results in lagging results especially when the market becomes healthy again.
- During down freight markets like right now, many shippers become price focused, which means freight brokers need different sales tactics – and perhaps some training on new sales tactics.
Training is a proven tool to improve the performance of employees, but it has under-utilized in logistics because most training programs were expensive, required off-site travel, and wasn’t customized to the needs of logistics people.
With Sync Logistics Training companies can:
- Reduce the burden on management.
- Increase retention of new hires.
- Increase employee utilization rates in their first 180 days.
- Increase speed of knowledge transfer through engagement.
- Increase employee engagement.
- Implement enterprise level course content at a fraction of the cost.
- Minimize time to employee utilization.
Sync Logistics Training provides customized learning management perfect for the logistics industry by utilizing a mix of video courses, simulations, and quizzes that will help employees improve their attitudes, skills, and knowledge.
