You are a carrier or an international logistics and transport company that usually takes part in auctions for the assignment of orders and you want to win a load. Think about the standard procedure when participating in a common negotiation.
you receive an e-mail with an offer request | 30” to read the e-mail |
you give your best price | 10 minutes to calculate the price |
you write an e-mail with your offer | 30” to write the e-mail |
You call the customer, passing from the switchboard | between 2’’ and 4’’ for calling (if you find him immediately) |
OUTCOME 1 The competition offers a lower price and you are not competitive. You have lost at least 15 minutes for a work you have not won. |
OUTCOME 2 The negotiation remains open. You have to increase your offer. |
|
You have not won the transport You have lost 15 minutes | You win the transport You have used up 20 mins |
write another e-mail with a new price | 1 minute for calculating and writing |
call the client | From 2” to 4” invested in calls (if reached) |
You have spent 20 minutes for only one order
If you are very experienced and very fast:
access and read the requests of your customers (who have invited you on the Platform)
you need between 5 and 10 minutes to calculate the price and insert it
you can access for 2’’ every 20 minutes to check and rework your price.
Now ask yourself what you can do in those 20 minutes you have saved.
I think I know your answer:
YOU CAN DO YOUR JOB: SELL
Why do we want to sell?
