Learning A Career wearing PJs.

Online Courses allow you to learn anywhere you have a computer with internet access.  You can lay in your bed with a laptop and actually prepare for a new career.  Instead of watching another worthless show on television, James decided to watch our freight broker training onlinecourse.   

James, a recent student sent me an email about his experience taking the Basic Freight Broker courseonline.  He points out specific modules he enjoyed and references the areas my wife Janis and I recorded.   Here’s an edited version of what James said:

“…I enjoyed the method by which you have developed the (basic freight broker) course. In the second module, Lessons 38, 44 & 45...those are the ones with Jeff speaking. I absolutely love them. Lesson 38 was straight, hard-core sales.  

 Module 44 and  45 was the best example of a phone call ever put on tape. Jeff had no tension in his voice, stuck to his main objective and had Janis involved. I believe she would accept higher rates. That was great.
 
New to the business, in my mind I needed to hear the phone call. It was knowledge based. It made me write down more questions for my own research.

Thanks I enjoyed it.

James Y. "

Thanks James, for taking our course.  And thanks for sending us this email on what you thought of the learning experience.  Don’t know if you actually took the course in your pajamas, but you could have.    We wish you lots of success and know we are just a phone call away, when you have a question or need encouragement in your grand new adventure in freight brokering.

BrookeTransportation Training developed an online version of their Basic FreightBroker Training Course to give more people access to their freight broker training.  The course teaches a successful process Brooke has used for decades as freight brokers.  The course was made available through hundreds of universities across the country with their online learning partner.  Anyone can sign up for the class through the pajama learning link on transportationtraining.com.

Advanced Freight Brokers

We finished up training some new freight brokers and one advanced freight broker.  Just reading their words and hearing the excitement they have after learning a set of new skills invigorates me to love this industry even more.  The transportation industry is a fast moving world.  Since I'm ADD I need to work in an environment that is always moving forward.  In the last decade we have made adjustments for fantastic new technology and challenging new legislation.  I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with many great new clients.  And I truly enjoy meeting our students, the freight brokers of the future.  Here's what some from our last class had to say about their experience. 

Beginner Freight Broker Course

"Everything was above and beyond what I expected… great educational tools that I know I will be referring back to for a long time to come. The instructors were wonderful. Each gave different viewpoints and life experiences in this field. 

The in-person training made all the difference, along with the support of these professionals that I will take with me as I move forward in this field." 

--Gwen D

Boost Your Earning

I have been a salesman for a long time.  Just ask my mom.  At four I was likely to barter off my play dough convincing my playmates that my blue dough built better snakes than theirs.  I'm one of those who could sell Popsicles to an Eskimo.  It comes natural to me.  But I recognize that even though selling and customer service come easy to me, I still need to keep learning.  I try to learn new ways to approach my job, my day, my life.  If we stop learning we start stagnating and that is just not a good look:). 

The greatest form of learning is teaching someone else what you know.  You must know your stuff in order to teach another.  I love training new freight brokers.  I love being a freight broker.  Every day I am out trying to serve the transportation industry.  I am continually learning new things to implement and to teach others.  I am a working freight broker always learning.  Be a student of your current customers so you can serve them more effectively.  Be a student of potential customers to learn where they could use your assistance.  I look at sales as a big learning fest.  I learn how to serve my customers and they learn to trust me with more. 

Go out and learn something new today.  Get your brain engaged.  Learn your way to a brighter tomorrow. 

Still moving,

Jeff

We finished up our last beginner freight broker class in 2013.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to these most recent graduates.  As I read through the words this students wrote about the class I am encouraged by their reminder that our school is helpful, informative and even life changing.  The course exceeds expectations and builds confidence.  We seem to have the nicest group of attendees who are eager to learn and eager to encourage each other. These are not my words but the words of those who have been through the course.  Read through these testimonials of Brooke Transportation Training December graduates.  Thinking about adding freight brokering to your list of credentials?  Come join us for one of 2014 courses or let me know if you’d like me to send a consultant trainer out to you.   

 

More than I expected.  I liked the classes overall and the testimonials from the agents.  I would recommend this course to anyone.  The people in class were nice. -- Mariana Hernandez

I feel that I have gained confidence in dealing with sales and lost a lot of fear of dealing with people on the other end of the phone.  The instructors were all very helpful and accommodating to my personal needs. This was a good start.  Good luck and God Bless!  -- Jeff Blackwell

Informative course.  I am new to the transportation industry.  I have learned all I need to get started as an agent.  I gained several pointers in sales as well as the operation side of the business.  I am excited to get started. 

I like that brokers and agents were brought in so we can contact them to get started.  --Abbey Williams

I enjoy the class and I feel strong about starting to work.  The class opened my eye to a different look on life.  I'm blessed to come into the class and learn what I have in completing the course.  Thanks.  --Barbara Randle

A Stable

Tonight is the night we celebrate a miraculous night 2,000 years ago.  The night a precious young lady delivered a baby who would become the Savior of the world.  This historical event happened in a plain stable where all those who got a room in the inn kept their animals, their vehicles of the day.  Had it been today I suppose baby Jesus would have been born in the parking garage of a hotel.  God had planned this evening since the beginning of time.  He created the world, then created a couple of people who would sire a population in need of hope, love, peace and forgiveness.  We need hope, love, peace and forgiveness all the more today. 

I plan on enjoying some time with my family opening gifts, eating lots of delicious foods and watching a little football.  But I also plan and encourage you to plan on reflecting on what happened this day and night in another land at another time.  Be thankful for all your blessings and spread this hope, love, peace and forgiveness in your circle of the world.

Moving forward,

Inspire Higher

Need some motivation and inspiration?  Don’t we all?   I can motivate myself and must motivate myself to make the calls and do the work I need to do in order to succeed as a freight broker.  Sometimes I need some outside motivation to help in the process.  That is one of the things I value in our freight broker instructors, they are not just imparting knowledge they are inspiring the students.  I received this testimonial from a recent graduate of our basic freight broker class taught by Vinny

Class was very upbeat.  Vinny is a very inspirational and motivating instructor.

Winfred Denson

That kind of feedback is music to my ears.  I purposed to build a school that did more that impart knowledge.  I wanted a school that inspires.  I want graduates that achieve more than they think they can because we inspire them to work a little bit harder.  I thrive on listening to graduate success stories and their creative approaches to work challenges.  I wanted students who forge ahead with new purpose to build a business, a better life and outreach to others.

So especially in this season of giving, give of yourself.  Those we meet will remember your time and your kind words a lot longer than any material gift.

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach
