Comments received from one of our members, Mr Josema Lizeaga of Transmil, S.A., Spain
"Global Logistics Associates and GlobeTrans International organizations are not for everyone. They are, however, for those companies that want to improve their profits, become active in the organization, and work with other members in a professional manner.
"My twelve years experience has proved to me that GLA is a great network of companies. But, to get due help in developing my business, I make myself the engine in the car and take the association as my wheels. I have to try to make sales daily. I ask the members for help in order to get in my quotation/information or to place sales leads. Many of the Associates do proceed like us and the result is excellent.
"Sitting passively and waiting to see what other GLA members or GTI Agents can do for me will not work and is the very worst thing for the association as a whole.
"To assure the best results working with other GLA members, we make sure we do our best:
- Continuous sale efforts in our market.
- Fast answers to any kind of request - including more details than asked for.
- Follow-up for consignments coming and release cargoes once money collection is made.
- Pay to my agents before we receive any claim.
- Avoid receiving any messages asking us to explain why we did not do what we had to do.
- Never give credit to consignee based in delaying payment to our origin partner.
- Look only to transaction profit and never plan to use my partner's money for my company's financial need.
"The result we have by doing the above procedure is excellent! We do get routing orders and import shipments!"
