The end of quarter 3 is drawing close and if you have not receive done already, you should be receiving an email that details the current status of your company’s membership file. There are some of our members that are on top of their membership file and have everything covered. All of the forms that have been provided to them have come back completed and they have shown themselves to be models for newer members to the group. However, we still have some members that have incomplete membership files. Although what might have been seemingly unimportant to members before, will become very important for driving business to their ports through X2. More details on that will be revealed in time.

What is more concerning at the moment is the lack of newsletter participation on the part of some members. The Q3 Newsletter is due to be published at the end of this month and the deadline for submissions is 23 September. We would love to see each member participate, especially using the new layout that will be giving the X2 Elite Quarterly Newsletter the professional detail and look that it deserves. Our articles will be more informative and provide our members with an even more attractive avenue of showcasing their business and letting the entire world know about their special talents and what their business can contribute to clients seeking logistics solutions.

Which, when thinking about what X2 Elite offers its members, there really is nothing quite like X2 Logistics Networks. Many networks just cram as many members into a market as possible, so long as they’re willing to pay the membership fee. X2 Logistics Networks knows that bigger isn’t necessarily better. This is why we seek to cap membership in markets and instead crate a smaller yet stable group of professional companies that have been proven to provide value for clients and also understand the need for healthy competition, but even more so, healthy cooperation between members. We don’t want an adversarial network with members constantly trying to undercut each other to win business. No, we want a network that understands the needs for successful competition against the multinational corporations in the industry.

X2 Logistics Networks has made that realization and we will be continuing to provide our members with the means and tools to compete in a heated industry that is also overshadowed by the growing presence of multinationals.
