Effective sales and sales communication are integral parts of the logistics business that need the attention of top management. The rising value of logistics as a strategic marketing weapon has fostered the integration of the sales, marketing, and logistics functions of many business marketers. However, the data shows that many logistics companies repeatedly fail to give proper attention to the sales process, despite the promise it inherently possesses to ease margin pressure. Further, in current hyper competitive scenarios, it has increasingly become difficult to sell more and meet the expectations. Keeping the aforesaid perspective, this customized program will introduce different new approaches, strategic case studies and modern effective practices that help logistics providers sell more efficiently.
