A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A LOGISTICS CONSULTANT

As a Logistics Consultant, you are involved in sales, customer service, and the management of your customer’s freight needs. You collaborate with carrier partners and shippers alike, overseeing the full lifecycle of every shipment in your given book of business. By providing first-in-class customer service, you develop long-term relationships with customers. You manage the movement of your clients’ goods, ensuring that they are picked up, transported safely, and delivered on time according to the client’s expectations. You function as the liaison between clients, carriers, shippers, and receivers.

In order to maintain market competitive pricing, you conduct contract negotiations. You collaborate with team members on pricing strategies and problem-solving. To build a portfolio of clients, you perform a high volume of “cold-calling.” Staying up to date on market conditions and technology through internal and external training is an essential component to your success. You feel great about helping other companies find success through the management of their supply chain. And, seeing your efforts pay off in your paycheck gives you a great sense of accomplishment!

  • Proven customer service skills
  • Sales-driven and self-motivated
  • Willingness to work well within a team
