Hire a Cold Caller for Freight & Logistics
$1,500 to set up. $6,000 per block of qualified meetings. When a block is delivered, the next one starts.
The Freight & Logistics block contains 15 qualified, held meetings at $400 per meeting.
One trained caller works two campaigns. Yours gets half of every working day: about 75 dials, 20 working days a month, roughly 1,500 dials per block. The campaign also includes a new list for the block, provisioned business numbers, the dialer, recordings, CRM notes, calendar booking, and a Friday report.
SalesHive and Martal estimated a fully loaded in-house SDR at $100,000–$210,000 a year in 2026, while The Bridge Group reported a ramp of about three months in 2025. The caller needs lane coverage, mode, minimum shipment profile, excluded accounts, and a current rate-review calendar. Thaw keeps those criteria beside the recordings and CRM dispositions.
Who we call
Shipping and logistics managers at manufacturers and distributors.
Where the list comes from
Manufacturer and distributor directories, import records, Google Maps business data, and trade-association directories. We verify the shipping role and phone number before calling.
The meeting we book
rate review
The shipping or logistics manager confirms regular freight volume in an agreed lane or mode and accepts a rate review with the client.
Planning math for one block
75 dials/day × 20 days = 1,500 dials → 120 connects → 60 conversations → 15 meetings
The assumptions are a 8% connect rate (Gong, accessed 2026; Cognism, 2026) and a 25% set rate from conversations (Belkins, 2025; The Bridge Group, 2025). These are planning inputs, not campaign results.
Sample opener
- 00:00:02Hi {first_name}, I am calling for {client_company}.
- 00:00:14We move freight in {lane_or_region}.
- 00:00:26I am checking whether you review carrier rates for {company}.
- 00:00:38Would you be open to comparing a current lane and service requirement?
