Power to the People
| Over the past two weeks, we have been attending industry events in North America to promote SHIPPINGInsight to companies that recognize the importance of meeting the customer face to face. It gives new meaning to the importance of direct communication and the value of a direct conversation over an email, a website, or even video conferencing. We are a unique industry with differing needs. While harmonizing is important, how much more valuable would your experience, and your time, be if you could learn exactly how a solution provider can meet your particular requirements? How much more open would you be to new ideas if you could immediately articulate your concerns and eliminate potential barriers? What more efficient method is there to sitting down and exploring the many facets of a product or service and how it can apply to meet YOUR needs? Attending an event includes what we euphemistically refer to as “networking” when what we really mean is the art of doing business. Building trust and relationships is foundational to our industry—and truly gives the power to the people. Keep optimizing, Carleen |
