What can help me get more bookings on SeaRates?
You should follow a certain discipline if you want to do real business. The average conversion on SeaRates is 10%, which means that for every 10 offers you submit, you can expect at least 1 booking, provided:
- You quote fast, no later than 1 hour after the request is posted
- Your rate is competitive as per the market
- Your offer terms are attractive (transit time, free days of storage, demurrage, detention, transport downtime terms, payment terms, etc.)
- You load as many rates into the system as possible, which increases the chances of shippers finding your offers.
- With time, you should have good ranking with SeaRates and demonstrate excellent communication and customer service, so that our team will have grounds to give you more business
