$1,500 to onboard. $6,000 per block of qualified meetings. Delivered, then the next block starts.

Managed cold-calling infrastructure for Freight & Logistics: a dedicated, trained caller, a verified list, the dialer, and weekly reporting — a block is 15 qualified meetings, $400 per meeting.

Who we call

Shipping managers, logistics managers, and traffic coordinators at manufacturers and distributors moving regular freight.

Where the list comes from

We compile manufacturers and distributors in your lanes from industrial directories and trade data, then verify the direct line of whoever books the loads.

The meeting we book

A rate review: they share a lane or two, you show what you'd move it for.

Script angle

Logistics buyers live on the phone, so a competent call is the product demo. The opener is about their lanes and their last service failure, never about network size. The ask is a rate review on one lane — small enough to say yes to, specific enough to win.

The objection we hear most, and what we say

"We have carriers we've used for years."

"Keep them — most of our clients did. We're asking you to rate one lane against what you pay today. If we're not sharper, you've lost ten minutes. If we are, you've found a backup before you need one."

A sample opener

  1. 00:00:02Hi {first_name}, this is Drew from {client_company} — you handle outbound freight for {company}, right?
  2. 00:00:14We run lanes out of your region and I think we'd beat what you're paying on at least one of them.
  3. 00:00:26Give me one lane and ten minutes — worst case, you get a benchmark on your current rates.

Deal math

15 meetings per block × 20% close rate = 3.0 deals per block

In this market, a deal means lane and freight agreements typically worth $50k–$500k a year. At a 20% close rate from held meetings, one $6,000 block pays for itself with a single deal in most cases.

Shippers take rate reviews readily, so blocks run larger at 15.
