AS SOMEONE who has recently moved from
operations to sales, I feel that sales people can only really be successful if they get their clients to meet the operations staff.
I find that often the sales representative sells himself instead of the freight
company so that when he moves to another company the client is left to deal with a staff member he or she has only spoken to on the phone.
Because no personal
contact was ever made the client does not really feel obliged to remain loyal
to his present freight
company.
A lot of emphasis is
generally placed on freight rates and service, but in the long run clients want to be treated as friends and this can only be done if they have been introduced to the operations staff.

Sales and operations must go hand in hand
