We are celebrating our 1st year 🎗 Here is what I wish I knew before starting Credit: at the beginning stage, your company will not have any credit. Therefore, it can be extremely hard to move freight, unless you already have a big driver base that trusts you. In many cases, you can offer the drivers payment before the delivery, and they will still refuse to book, because of lack of trust. Niche down: choose a small niche, and start doing research. Learn the common issues that shippers face in this specific niche. Come up with solutions to those issues. Focus on these solutions, when doing cold calls or sales in general. Overhead: As you start growing, you will get many calls and emails from companies offering services (tracking services, TMS, marketing, customer leads, business optimizations, credit improvements, etc.). Most of these services will have a binding contract, meaning you will not be able to cancel these services unless the contract ends (some can last up to 3 years). Think twice, before accepting any of these services, because most of your customers can switch to a competitor in any day. This can result in a situation of low cash flow and high overhead, potentially leading to bankruptcy.

We are celebrating our 4th anniversary! 🎉 It's safe to say that we have acquired some wisdom along the way, and now we’re ready to share it with the world: 1) Before choosing your company name, remember to check if it's not already registered trademark in Europe, especially within your field. If you keep this in mind, it can help you save some time and legal hassle down the road. 2) From time and time again, we have witnessed that the core principles of business remain the same, regardless of the company's size. Whether it's a company of two or two thousand people - all follow the same rules. 3) Experience enhances analyzation speed. Meaning - the longer you have been in the industry, the quicker you can get the gist of conversations with clients to assess what's needed and deliver it in top quality. 4) Getting an e-signature (in Latvia, we call it e-paraksts) was the best business decision one can make. It enables you to sign legal paperwork anywhere, anytime, and with just a few clicks.

In celebration of our 5th anniversary 🎉 we asked 5 colleagues 5 questions, and we'll be sharing their answers over the next 5 days so you can get to know us better! Today's question: Who did you want to be when you were 5 years old? Share your answers in the comments section below! Stay tuned for more. #MetLifePoland #CenterOfExcellence #Anniversary

In reading my many work anniversary congratulations after 13 years here at Penna 3 things came to mind: 1. Where do the years go? Whilst we've packed a lot into the last 13 years, it has flown by, so I must be having fun! 2. We should celebrate years of service more fully. Without LinkedIn reminding me, the date would have just passed by. 3. Anniversaries make you think. Do I still love what I do, what have I achieved? Luckily on both I was able to reflect positively. Perhaps worth employers considering how they celebrate service for employees as a key retention tool, as negative answers to my Q2 could lead to employees making a call to a recruiter, like me! Thanks everyone for your good wishes, here's to Year 14 Penna our 50th year.

It's almost time for our 10th anniversary celebration. Over the last few posts, we've looked at the elements of our newly refined brand, and today we reveal our Brand Purpose - the 'why' of what we do: 'Engineering Futures, Constructing Partnerships. We empower businesses by solving one of their biggest challenges: finding the right people. We're not just recruiters; we're problem-solvers and enablers, helping to lift businesses by ensuring they have the talent they need to succeed. We're about more than just recruitment; we're about powering the growth of our industries and the careers of our professionals, putting our customers at the heart of everything we do. We don't fill a vacancy; we understand the precise needs of both the role and the individual, to ensure the perfect match.' The tagline, 'Engineering Futures, Constructing Partnerships', works on a multi-layered system, talking to the literal aspect of engineering and construction, as well as the metaphorical idea of enabling clients, candidates, and our team to build their own futures through partnership with Mech Tech. We worked with Rebel Lion Agency to enable us to shape our future journey, and we're looking forward to the next 10 years of Mech Tech. On May 20th, we'll be celebrating our 10th anniversary with a new video, where we sat down with the team to hear what their thoughts, feelings, and emotions are around the world of Mech Tech where we're Engineering Futures, Constructing Partnerships.
