December VILT: The 3PL Sales Process

Are you in a rut coaching your sales team and need a quick refresher course on the 3PL sales process to jump-start your coaching efforts? Do you work for a 3PL firm that brought you on during COVID-19 and you never got a firm grasp of the fundamentals of selling to shippers? It doesn’t matter if you are a sales coach or a rookie, this Virtual Instructor Lead Training (VILT) is designed for you.

The course covers important topics such as industry characteristics, heat and trailer conditions, impact of packaging, loading of perishable products and inspections.
