They are interested in price, delivery times, questions about documents, possible problems, shipping delays, and more. By answering all these questions, you can attract new clients, so communication in this section is not only mutual help but also promotion of your services!
How to formulate proper questions
- When posting a question, think about whom you are addressing: experts, companies engaged in shipping and related services, or all users whose field of activity may vary. In the first case, you rely on professionalism and experience; in the second, only on experience. Phrase your question so that your target audience will respond to it.
- If you want to order air shipping services but don't know whom to contact, state your desire to work together and ask for a recommendation for a reliable company. In further correspondence, you can clarify not only details about expenses, documents, and the cargo itself, but also learn about the company's experience and gauge their expertise.
- Try to make your question clear and understandable to everyone. Don't use obscure abbreviations or shortened forms, write in Russian, put the question itself first, and then describe the details.
What answers will be best and why
- If you want not just to help but to promote yourself, show clients the benefits—provide not general information but real details based on your experience. For example, if someone asks about the optimal weight for air delivery, give real data and explain why. Example: "Our experience shows that it's best to ship small batches weighing up to 1000 kg, and for heavier cargo we recommend choosing another delivery type. This will help you save money." By building trust, you will attract new clients. They will understand that they are communicating not only with a professional but also with someone who cares about their budget.
- If something is unclear to you, ask clarifying questions in the conversation. It's better to clarify details before giving advice that could be harmful.
- Participate actively in discussions of different topics. This way you can gain new experience, make a name for yourself, and promote your services.
