For freight forwarders doing 1M to 10M in revenue
Turn LinkedIn and cold email into steady shipper conversations
We build you a founder led LinkedIn and cold email system in 30 days that brings in qualified conversations every week, so you are not stuck begging for referrals or manually chasing prospects all day.
You're in good hands
If your pipeline depends on referrals and random outreach
Most freight forwarders tell us:
"LinkedIn is just for recruiters, not freight."
"We post once in a while and nothing happens."
"Cold email at scale sounds great, but we do not know where to start."
"Every shipper conversation comes from my personal network. There is no real system."
Result:
Feast and famine shipment volume
Missed RFQs sitting in inboxes
No predictable way to add new shippers when you need them
You are great at moving freight. You should not also have to be a marketing engineer.
Your Freight Pipeline System
A complete infrastructure build in 30 days
Founder Authority
Turn your founder into a visible authority on LinkedIn. Design a simple content lane around your trade lanes and strengths.
Targeted Lists
Build a clean, targeted shipper list. Define ideal shippers by lane, volume, and mode. Verify decision makers.
Email Infrastructure
Set up cold email infrastructure that actually delivers. Domains, DNS, warmup, and deliverability-friendly templates.
Multichannel Outreach
Orchestrate multichannel outreach. Cold email opens the door, LinkedIn warms up the contact.
How it works
Pipeline Audit call
We look at your current lanes, volumes, and how you are getting shippers today, and decide if outbound can realistically move the needle.
30 day build
We write your LinkedIn content plan, build your lists, and set up all email infrastructure and sequences. You keep full visibility and access.
Launch and optimize
We launch campaigns, monitor replies, and adjust messaging based on live data so the system keeps improving instead of dying after week one.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our Freight Pipeline System
Most clients see their first qualified meetings booked within weeks 3-4 of the engagement, once the initial warming period and domain setup is complete. By month 2, the system usually reaches predictable cadence.
No. We handle the entire data sourcing process. We use premium data providers (Apollo, Clay, etc.) and waterfall enrichment to ensure 99% deliverability and accurate targeting based on your ICP.
Absolutely. We strictly adhere to GDPR and CAN-SPAM regulations. We only target relevant B2B contacts with legitimate interest, provide clear opt-out mechanisms, and manage domain health rigorously.
We are platform agnostic but usually recommend a stack involving Smartlead or Instantly for sending, Clay for data enrichment, and HubSpot or Salesforce for CRM integration. We handle the setup for you.
