The customs brokerage, transportation and importing/exporting community in general, have seen many changes in recent years. A recent recession, the introduction of several new entry processing requirements for the brokerage industry and customs clearance changes for the transportation industry have had a significant impact on the bottom line and the manner in which everyone conducts business.
Some of the most significant issues all organizations have faced have been increased operating costs and lower profit margins. Although this has forced most businesses to operate in a more efficient and cost effective manner it has left many survivors with less operating capital and forced them to find creative ways of improving their profile in the business community and maintain a presence in the face of increased competition.
For most organizations sales and marketing has been a challenging aspect of their business model since monies allocated for the promotional effort and the anticipated results are difficult to quantify. Given that the customs brokerage services fees and the freight rates have been reduced to unprecedented levels in recent years D L Connell Enterprises is offering an alternative to the traditional sales and marketing approach. I believe I can have a positive impact on the profile many companies want to establish in the business community. Here are a few reasons why I believe I can deliver that profile.

- In recent years I have amassed a detailed data base of over 7,000 importers and exporters in the Province of Ontario which contains contact information, specifics on import and export activity, customs brokerage service providers, transportation requirements and commodities etc.
- A thirty year career has allowed me to develop a successful approach to opening doors to opportunities and increase a provider’s profile in the community.
- The service I am offering is a very cost effective method of increasing my client’s visibility in the market place to a target market of companies that import, export and use transportation services.
- The process I am offering allows my company to be invisible while keeping the focus on my customer and the services they want the market place to know they provide.
- My consulting company will provide a weekly list of target prospects that my client must approve for contact.
- A weekly supply of up-dated contact reports will be provided based on the approved prospects for that week, with which my customer can use at their discretion.
- The contact reports provide my client with information regarding any opportunities uncovered in the sales prospecting effort.
- The program I offer allows my client to work directly with any prospect who has expressed an interest in pursing my client’s services. This gives my client complete control of the opportunity to discuss services, fees and other confidential information.
- Since the same contacts often make transportation related decisions as well as customs brokerage my database can also provide personnel that arrange local as well as international ocean and air freight services.
