Review Your Broker’s Performance

Annual performance reviews are a great way to ensure the level of service you receive from your broker remains high. A performance review is a natural next step in your communication efforts; in fact, if you’ve established consistent and effective communication, the review stage should be quick and painless – but beneficial nevertheless.
A review is a great way to evaluate your broker’s overall performance, not just their response to a specific issue or concern; it’s also a great way for you to update your broker on the goals you’ve shared with them in the past, on any changes in your corporate direction, and the ways your broker can support you short- and long-term.
Establishing communication and building trust are the cornerstones of any relationship, personal or business. It’s important to remember them when working with your customs broker. 
Ultimately, having a good relationship with your customs broker will ensure your goods are cleared safely and efficiently, which in turns help ensure that you maintain a good relationship with your clients and vendors. 
By outlining your expectations and your goals up front, you give your broker a clear path to meeting and exceeding your requirements, transforming them from just another supplier into a valued business partner.
