[Chicago, IL] — [November 12, 2024] —  Shipper CRM, a FreightCaviar product, announces their newest investor & partner, Will Jenkins, CEO & Founder of Journey. Jenkins adds to the existing heavyweight roster of industry investors, including TriumphPay and the co-founder and CEO of AscendTMS, Tim Higham. Alongside the investment, Shipper CRM and Journey are announcing their joint strategic partnership, offering each Shipper CRM Pro user access to comprehensive sales training through Journey.

Shipper CRM is a purpose built platform for helping freight brokers and trucking companies find their ideal customers and Journey provides industry leading sales training, recruiting, and consulting services to the freight brokerage space. 

Why This Partnership?

By combining industry specific sales training with a freight-focused shipper database for lead generation, transportation sales teams will close leads faster, build expert sellers, and more effectively target ideal customers.

Shipper CRM provides an innovative platform that reduces research time from two to three hours to mere seconds for any prospective shipper while Journey offers specialized, industry specific sales training that, once combined, gives sales reps the best tools needed to execute their sales outreach.

Will Jenkins, CEO & Founder of Journey, articulated the partnership's vision: “Our goal is to provide freight brokerages with the right training, resources and tools to build their businesses and grow sustainably. This is an amazing opportunity for both of our organizations to make an impact on the industry and I couldn't be more excited about having the opportunity to invest and partner with Shipper CRM.”

Through this partnership, Journey’s sales training will be available to all Shipper CRM Pro users.

The Benefits:

By combining Journey’s training resources with Shipper CRM’s capabilities, this partnership will help users:

  • Close leads faster: By combining rich, detailed information on shippers with the proven sales training, teams will be able to accelerate lead cycles. 
  • Build expert teams: Armed with the right information on who to sell to, what they do, and how to engage with them, Shipper CRM customers can cultivate teams of freight-sales experts, better equipped than their competition to serve the shippers they work with. 
  • Target ideal customers: With Shipper CRM’s robust database of customers and research, users can zero in on their ideal customers and stay focused on who they service best.

Krystian Gebis, CEO & Co-Founder of Shipper CRM & Co-Founder of FreightCaviar, emphasized the platform's commitment to creating a better, more comprehensive solution for their users: "Shipper CRM offers an intuitive, geo-spatial database that allows users to efficiently identify shippers. This partnership has already enhanced the platform's functionality and made the tool more useful - with Will being on the buying end of similar products for years, we’ve been able to rapidly improve the user experience, focusing on the most impactful features that derive the most value for our users.” 

According to Gebis:

Good data + no sales training = You won’t get through

No data + good sales training = You won’t know who to reach out to
