Working in Logistics, you are focused on customer satisfaction, communicating with suppliers, retailers, and customers daily. Every day is different, but with a constant focus on customers. But what are your career goals in logistics? You’re here for a reason, you want more in life, and you want to create your dream life!

How Can My Logistics Skills Transfer to Recruitment?

If transferred successfully, your skills developed in logistics can result in high earnings! Some recruitment skills are honed over time, but starting off on the right foot is key… and that’s easier when your skills are transferable!

Key transferable Logistics skills:

• Customer-focused
  Your job revolves around people - you are talking to people all day, building relationships and selling. Your communication skills are key to this role. Excellent customer service is part of your job, creating a level of trust with customers and being informative.
• Selling skills
  You’re used to persuasive communication, selling products constantly over the phone. Learning the products you are selling, using creativity to sell, and ensuring you are passionate in order to convince the customers.
• Competitiveness
  You have monthly and quarterly targets that you have to meet, and being constantly focused on goals, you will be driven to out-work everyone else. You’ll be a self-starter, able to motivate yourself and be opportunistic in most circumstances.
• Conflict resolution
  Having a desire to solve problems, finding new ways to satisfy your customer's needs - working around their complaints. Going out of your way to understand their needs, and communicating your solution - encouraging them to buy into what you’re selling.
• Organisation
  You will be used to having a well-organised day, as a crucial part of your process is being organised and on top of everything. Managing your time, creating a productive workspace and prioritising calls and tasks.
• Resilience
  You’re used to rejection, and dealing with people who don’t necessarily want to talk to you. Keeping your cool, and not letting the negatives get to you - building your resilience every day!
