For freight forwarders doing 1M to 10M in revenue

Turn cold outreach into shipper conversationsTurn LinkedIn and cold email into a steady stream of new shipper conversations

We build you a founder led LinkedIn and cold email system in 30 days that brings in qualified conversations every week, so you are not stuck begging for referrals or manually chasing prospects all day.

How we generate demand

If your pipeline depends on referrals and random outreach, you are exposed

Most freight forwarders tell us:

"LinkedIn is just for recruiters, not freight."

"We post once in a while and nothing happens."

"Cold email at scale sounds great, but we do not know where to start."

"Every shipper conversation comes from my personal network. There is no real system."

Result:

Feast and famine shipment volume

Missed RFQs sitting in inboxes

No predictable way to add new shippers when you need them

You are great at moving freight. You should not also have to be a marketing engineer.

What we install for you

We call it your Freight Pipeline System. A complete infrastructure build in 30 days.

Founder Authority

Turn your founder into a visible authority on LinkedIn. Design a simple content lane around your trade lanes and strengths.

Founder-led posts
Profile optimization

Targeted Lists

Build a clean, targeted shipper list. Define ideal shippers by lane, volume, and mode. Verify decision makers.

Lane-specific targeting

Email Infrastructure

Spam-proof setup

Multichannel Outreach

Cross-channel sync

How it works

Pipeline Audit call

We look at your current lanes, volumes, and how you are getting shippers today, and decide if outbound can realistically move the needle.

30 day build

We write your LinkedIn content plan, build your lists, and set up all email infrastructure and sequences. You keep full visibility and access.

Launch and optimize

We launch campaigns, monitor replies, and adjust messaging based on live data so the system keeps improving instead of dying after week one.

Who this is for

This is a fit if you:

Run a freight forwarding company doing 1M to 10M per year
Have at least one person who can take sales calls
Want a predictable way to create new shipper conversations, not just "more followers"

Frequently asked questions

How long until we see results?

Most clients see their first qualified meetings booked within weeks 3-4 of the engagement, once the initial warming period and domain setup is complete. By month 2, the system usually reaches predictable cadence.

Do I need to provide the leads?

No. We handle the entire data sourcing process. We use premium data providers (Apollo, Clay, etc.) and waterfall enrichment to ensure 99% deliverability and accurate targeting based on your ICP.

Is this compliant with spam laws?

Absolutely. We strictly adhere to GDPR and CAN-SPAM regulations. We only target relevant B2B contacts with legitimate interest, provide clear opt-out mechanisms, and manage domain health rigorously.

What tech stack do you use?

We are platform agnostic but usually recommend a stack involving Smartlead or Instantly for sending, Clay for data enrichment, and HubSpot or Salesforce for CRM integration. We handle the setup for you.
