Benefits and flexibility accrue to freight brokers. As an owner, you decide on how you want to run your business and there are two aspects you never want to lose sight of.
- Your freight brokerage is a REAL business with unlimited income potential (forget it if you are seeking a quick buck), and
- Your overhead expenses are very, very low
Here is one example. If you are working alone and need help as you increase the consistency of your work load, you can hire a part time or full time individual. This individual can make phone calls to identify potential customers.
Pay them as independent contractors if they are indeed independent according to IRS guidelines. Give them a little bonus for each set-up package they send out.
Eventually, have them assume more and more responsibility. Prepare, and have them go through, a series of "learning modules" and reward them according to their results. Each learning module should entail increasing responsibilities and skills. Both you and your agent benefits with the increased business.
Not everyone wants to bring on a lot of extra help and this is where the flexibility come into play. You can work alone or you can bring on a little help or you can bring on a lot of help.
Freight brokering is truly an opportunity that should be considered IF you have the entrepreneurial spirit burning inside you. Be sure to check out my website in detail for more information: http://www.atexfreightbrokertraining.com
