Our Week 9 Top Logistics Stories

It’s week 9 and here are three stories you should be updating your customers and prospects on this week. They need your expertise!

Shippers may not be aware of what’s occurring or its importance, so offering your assistance and insights will help you build a stronger relationship with them.

Knowing what’s going on in the market is only half the battle. Your customers need to be told what to do about it and they should hear that from you.

1.      There are still more questions than answers when it comes to tariffs. President Trump restated his intent to implement tariffs on Canada and Mexico despite the delay, and there is now talk about big fees for Chinese-built steamships unloading at US ports.

2.      Talk of a peace plan in Ukraine is bringing optimism for supply chains in Europe. However, like tariffs, a lack of details is creating more uncertainty than anything at this point. Ukraine and the Red Sea remain challenges for most companies doing business in the region.

3.      A recent report suggests that global supply chains are shifting focus from sustainability to cost savings and service performance. As a logistics provider, this could require a different approach to how you sell and market to customers.

Of course, these stories are just a small part of what’s going on in the supply chain space right now. Updating your clients on how this and other information is relevant to their business is a way to provide more value and strengthen your relationships.
