How to find cargoes for sea transportation on the Moldovatruck website

Sea transport, in particular, and water transport in general, are the cheapest ways to transport goods. The main reason for this state of affairs is the gigantic carrying capacity of ships and the lack of need to build roads. It would seem that an inexpensive transport capable of performing intercontinental transportation should not have any problems finding cargo. However, problems with finding customers from sea carriers exist. The Moldovatruck website was created specifically to make life easier for all parties involved in transportation, so that the shipper can quickly find the transport he needs, and the cargo carrier can easily find the goods.

How to achieve the conclusion of a contract for the carriage by sea when negotiating with a potential client

When negotiating with shippers, it should be understood that their professional interests are usually outside the scope of freight transport. That is, they know that they need to deliver cargo from one point to another, but often they have little idea what kind of transport is needed for this and what additional services they may need. Become a consultant for the shipper, share your knowledge. People appreciate it.

Do not seek to put pressure on the client, people do not like it. Offer options for solving the problem, leaving the cargo owner with the appearance that he is making an independent decision. Your task is not to push the shipper, but to gently guide him to make the right decision. Be polite and professional, a contract for sea transport will not keep you waiting.
