Freight Broker Virtual workshop Package   

Specializing In Start-Ups               $1,295.00

The FBA Virtual Workshop Package is designed to assist existing and start-up freight broker agencies who are unable to attend a 3 day workshop at our location.

 

As with the FBA Basic, you receive a 90 day consulting package which starts with a 1 day FBA Virtual Workshop. Make plans for the Workshop to last up to 8 hours with hourly breaks and a :30 minute break for lunch.

 

The advantage of the FBA Virtual is that you'll be one-on-one with a TALTOA consultant. This will allow you to learn at your own pace.  The Freight Broker Basic Virtual Workshop is the next best thing to actually being at a Workshop in person.

 

On the day of your scheduled Workshop, you'll login to the virtual area, connect to your consultants computer, turn on your camera and begin.

That's only the basics of what your TALTOA consultant will cover during your Virtual Workshop. Another item that will be discussed is basic salesmanship. Regardless of what anyone tells you, a freight broker is a salesperson. Having a basic knowledge of sales is a must.

Although a freight broker is by no means a telemarketer, you will conduct nearly 100% of your business via the telephone. Knowing how to work the phone like a telemarketer is extremely important. Proper telephone techniques will also be covered during your Virtual Workshop.

The FBA Virtual is designed to assist existing and start-up freight broker agencies. As an agent you are contracted to an existing freight brokerage as an independent contractor. As such you receive a 1099 at the end of the tax year. Our goal, as your consultant, is to enable you to have the tools, knowledge, and support needed to be successful as an agent operating your own business.

 

Additionally you'll receive;  


The TALTOA FBA Virtual Workshop Kit - We'll ship your FBA Virtual Workshop Kit once your order has been processed (normally within 24 hours). The kit contains A POA (Plan of Action) designed exclusively for you and your business, the FBA-101 Manual, FBA Consult Workbook, Carrier Directory, Shipper Directory, webcam, headset, microphone, broker agent demo software and various supplies you will need during your Workshop.

Unlimited Phone Support - As questions arise you can pick up the phone and call your consultant. Often these questions are for rate assistance, terminology clarification,  and contract assistance. We urge you to use phone support as often as needed.

Weekly Conference Calls - You will be invited to attend our Weekly Consult Conference Call. All of our clients are invited to attend and discuss topics that are of concern to them. This can be of benefit to all as the WCC consists of brokers, transporters, hot shots and trucking companies.

Immediate Email Updates - All consulting clients receive regular emails from us containing important information relating to the transportation industry. It is not uncommon to receive several updates per week.

Monthly Reports - Each client receives our Monthly Consult Report which contains news, information, suggestions, and more.

Software and Service Discounts - Because of our industry affiliations with software and service companies we are able to provide our clients tools for their agencies at discounts of up to 50%.

Client Area Access - As a client you will be given a username and password that will allow you and your staff access to our client area. This is a great tool that you will use daily as it provides information such as the e-version of FBA-101, videos, chats, downloadable forms, account leads and more.
