Questions we actually get from logistics operators.
No generic FAQ. These are real questions from real sales conversations.
How It Works
We build and run your entire outbound sales pipeline — done for you. That means defining your ideal customer profile, building a targeted prospect list, running an 8-touch outreach cadence across email, phone, and LinkedIn, managing all replies, and booking qualified meetings directly on your calendar. You do nothing except show up for the calls.
Completely different. We do not run ads. We do not create content. We do not manage social media. NSBD runs outbound sales — direct, proactive prospecting to specific target companies. If you need a marketing agency, we are not the right fit. We will tell you that upfront.
A lead list is a spreadsheet. NSBD builds the list AND runs the outreach, manages every reply, and books the meetings. The list is only step one of an 8-step process that runs for 18–21 days per prospect.
Eight touches over 18–21 business days per prospect: 6 emails (intro, four follow-ups, breakup email), 2 phone calls (Touch 3 and Touch 6 — best windows are 8–10am and 11am–noon, Tuesday through Thursday), plus a LinkedIn connection request and follow-up.
We build a custom prospect list based on your ideal customer profile — specific shippers, manufacturers, importers, or any company type that matches your operation. You review and approve the list before a single message goes out.
Results & Expectations
Most clients see their first qualified meeting booked within 4–8 weeks of launch. A full, consistent pipeline typically takes 3–6 months to build real momentum. We set honest expectations at the start — not inflated promises.
Across our client base, NSBD averages $110,000+ in additional monthly warehouse revenue and 3–5 new signed warehouse contracts per quarter. Results vary based on ICP, market, geography, and offer — these are aggregate figures, not guaranteed minimums.
We monitor performance weekly and adjust targeting, messaging, and cadence based on response rates. If something isn't working, we tell you. We don't spin pipeline activity into false confidence.
We target 30–40 new contacts per week — enough to maintain consistent pipeline volume without overwhelming any single market or burning through a prospect list too quickly.
The Engagement
NSBD engages on a monthly retainer of $6,000/month plus a 5% commission on all sales generated through NSBD's outreach. We are not interested in clients who are locked in and unhappy — our goal is to build a pipeline so strong you'd never want to leave.
Attend the onboarding call. Review and approve the ICP and prospect list. Show up for the sales conversations we book. That is essentially it. NSBD handles everything else.
We work with warehousing and distribution operations, 3PLs, cold storage, freight forwarders, and customs brokers. We do not take on companies with a full internal sales team in place, or companies looking for consumer-facing outreach.
NSBD has worked exclusively in warehousing, 3PL, and logistics for 7+ years. We know the buyer titles, the pain points, the seasonality, the language, and the market dynamics.
A base retainer of $6,000/month plus a 5% commission on all sales generated through NSBD's outreach. No setup fees. No tool costs. No recruiting or ramp-up costs. Run the numbers in our cost calculator.
NSBD guarantees 5 new signed clients within 12 months. If that goal isn't reached, NSBD continues working at no additional retainer cost until it is. The standard commission structure remains in place on any sales closed during the extension period.
