Focusing on capacity and customer service is not enough—excellent support is the expected baseline. The real questions are, “what can you do for me, and how is your company different from the competition?”

Your website is the primary source of information about your business—you need to get found, and then you have just a few seconds to make an impact. If your website isn’t compelling, you will be knocked out of the selection process before you realize you were even in the running.
Your website should:
- Describe what you do, what you do for your customers, and how you are different.
- Convey your brand, vision, and mission.
- Provide a clear path to the information your visitor wants to see.
- Have the ability to capture visitor information in the form of a marketing-qualified lead.
- Be dynamic, with updates on news, solutions and company successes.
While new customers are typically the focus for most business-to-business (B2B) websites, other target groups may also include existing customers, employees, new hires, and drivers. Talk to a Logistic Company Growth Expert to discuss your website needs,
