    How To Grow Your Book of Business (Organically) in Brokerage It’s a wrap for the TIA (Transportation Intermediaries Association) Sales Track. Insightful final session facilitated by Jim Becker with panelists Shawn McLeod, Brian Hastings, Matt Ziegler and Tom Curee on Organically Growing a Book of Business. My takeaways from these great leaders: 🚀 Growth requires hiring at scale > innovate on your hiring strategies Growing a brokerage means growing your sales team. To do this successfully you need: -> Innovative hiring strategies. The best work to cultivate their own pipelines - think partnerships with local universities. -> A killer training program for new reps. Training calls, role plays etc. 💰 Getting your comp plan right is hard Incentives drive action and outcomes. Changing comp plans is hard. That said, you’ll rarely get it right the first time - the journey to the right plan is not linear. You need to muscle through iterations to get to something that works for your team, your business and aligns with your values. 🔄 Need to manage the cradle-to-grave > ops model transitions gracefully A seller lands an account that starts blowing up. At some point you’ll want / need to shift to account management + ops to make the most of the opportunity and avoid rep burnout. But how do you transition accounts without frustrating the reps? Navigating gracefully requires high trust and consistent clear communication about why and how these transitions will happen. Better yet build the ops team around the initial seller - let them share in the cost but participate in the upside. Use internal case studies from other sellers as proof points of it going right. 💪 Rome wasn’t built in a day; reps need to know this There’s no shortcuts but sweat n’ tears in building a book of business. It takes 12-18 months. Set expectations it’ll be hard; support them through the grind. #TIA2024CON #TIADelivers #Logistics Appreciate the session, gents! What would you add?
