5 Steps To High Paying Driving Jobs - Using Your Own CarIn this issue, I wanted to share with you 5 steps to starting you own freelance courier business and getting high paying driving jobs from both courier and private companies.
This is of course a shortened summary of what's covered in our
video based courier manual, but I just wanted to let you in on some of them:
------------------------------------------------------------
Step #1 - Get The Right Information About The Industry.
------------------------------------------------------------
Being a freelance courier is not the same as operating a courier company.. that's a slightly different cattle of fish, but the most important thing you can do for yourself is to educate yourself about what this sort of work entails.
You'll need to know things like what insurances to have, who you plan on working for (courier, private clients or both), things like basic book keeping, vehicle requirements, how to get clients and more.
Our course covers all of this in detail and includes videos on getting clients, marketing and more.
We are currently the only company in the UK that has such a comprehensive resource that includes videos & audios about getting started as a freelance courier.
------------------------------------------------------------
Step #2 - FIRST get clients, Then Make The Expenses.
------------------------------------------------------------
A common mistake many beginner freelance couriers make is to undergo a lot of expenses like renting offices, hire vans, making business cards, buying a new computer etc. ... and then try and find clients AFTER WARDS!
That is a big no, no.
Our videos teaches how to get the clients FIRST, and when you know you have customers or prospects with at least a verbal agreement to use your service, THEN and only then should you invest in insurances, vans etc.
Remember having a office, a van and a computer does not mean you have a business. You only have a business when you have paying clients. That is where our course, videos and other services comes in to assist you.
------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3 - Isolate Your Prospects And Clearly Denominate Benefits
------------------------------------------------------------
The first thing to starting your business is getting knowledgeable about the business, the second thing is to make sure the market exists for your service (which we can safely say DOES if there are other courier companies operating in your area) .
The third thing is to isolate your target market to a group most likely to use courier services. (
our videos details this in depth)
When you have that group isolated (e.g you found that printing companies are using couriers on a frequent basis), the next step is to clearly denominate the the benefits of using your service to your target group.
Think in terms of what's important to printing company and denominate your benefits so it resonates with what's important to them.
For example: "Mr Smith, when you use ABC Couriers, we make sure your clients print orders are delivered not only on time, but we also use special fittings to ensure the corners of the boxes does not get damaged in transit and thus spoil any fragile paper prints on the inside"
*That* is a clear benefit to the printing company boss and when you denominate a benefit in that way you're " talking their language"
------------------------------------------------------------
Step - #4 - Follow Up With Prospects (Up To 7 Times)
------------------------------------------------------------
Once you've got your list of prospects as outlined in our videos, the next step is to consistently follow up with them on a regular basis.
Naturally, the aim of your initial contact is to get an appointment to go and present your freelance courier services. What to say and how to convince them to use your services is comprehensively covered in a 4 cd (mp3's) audio series available as a download via our website.
Make contact, get an appointment, sell your services possibly only once, and do work for them for potentially years to come.
Consistency is key so your effort must be consistent to generate a large client base over a period of time.
------------------------------------------------------------
Step #5 - Grow Your Freelance Courier Business Geometrically
