🚢 Did You Know? 🚢 The "Great Tea Race of 1866" was one of the most thrilling events in maritime history. Clippers—sleek, fast sailing ships—raced from China to London, each vying to be the first to deliver the season's highly anticipated tea. The journey spanned over 14,000 miles and took around 100 days, with ships battling unpredictable weather, rough seas, and fierce competition. But it wasn’t just speed that mattered; the quality and condition of the tea upon arrival were equally critical. Any damage or spoilage could lead to significant financial losses. At Ruswal Global, we appreciate the historical significance of safeguarding cargo during long voyages. Just as the captains of these clippers took great care to ensure their precious cargo arrived in perfect condition, our expert inspectors ensure that your goods meet the highest standards from loading to delivery. With our meticulous inspection services, you can be confident that your cargo will reach its destination not only on time but also in the best possible condition—just like the prized tea that sparked one of history's greatest races.

Before the arrival of my son, Caleb, I was an avid diver. Back then, my vacations were dive vacations. Though they did take a lot of 𝚛̲𝚎̲𝚜̲𝚘̲𝚞̲𝚛̲𝚌̲𝚎̲𝚜̲—from money to packing for the trip itself. I enjoyed diving because the ocean is like a one-stop healing shop. Humans have used the therapeutic properties of water since Roman times to heal and relax the body. 💘 I loved it because of the 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. I could hear myself blowing bubbles and the fish chewing on the corals. 💘 I loved it because it improves breath control. Underwater, we rely on the dive apparatus to breathe, and the trick is that if you keep too much air in your lungs, you'll float up; if you release all the air, you'll sink down. So to maintain buoyancy, it's an act of 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴. (Just the thought itself is therapeutic.) 💘 I loved it because being underwater is like a visit to another planet. Just like in Sales Management. 🔘 Effective 𝚛̲𝚎̲𝚜̲𝚘̲𝚞̲𝚛̲𝚌̲𝚎̲𝚜̲ Management. [From budget, training, incentives and etc] 🔘 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 Sales activities. [Train the team to balance their efforts across different stages of the sales process] 🔘 Encourage exploration and adaptability [Be 𝚌̲𝚞̲𝚛̲𝚒̲𝚘̲𝚞̲𝚜̲, Stay 𝚌̲𝚞̲𝚛̲𝚒̲𝚘̲𝚞̲𝚜̲] Now, my time is OUR time. I am 𝚌̲𝚞̲𝚛̲𝚒̲𝚘̲𝚞̲𝚜̲, what about you? What is your "My Time"? #Curious #AdventureAwaits #SalesManagement
