X2 XTRA Q3 / 2018
Richard Overton
Founder and C.E.O at X2 Group.....Creating Global Logistics Deals via Professionalism and Trust
Dear X2 Colleagues,
As we have now entered the 4th Quarter of 2018 and begin ramping up for the final sprint of the year …I hope you are all well and on track to achieving the targets set out at the beginning of 2018!!
Welcome to our latest X2 Quarterly Newsletter… this 3rd edition of 2018 highlights yet again more member news, members interviews as well as some useful tips and insights from the X2 team. It enlightens you on our past conferences and allows you an insight into what to expect from the 6th Annual conference and a very special weekend awaits you all!
2018 has been quite a year for all of us at X2... and as we have now entered into the 4th Quarter of the year we have seen through many developments, in sometimes less than favorable circumstances. But we’ve also achieved a huge amount in… many ways. Within the development of the network I feel we have made good progress when compared to other networks in the sense that we have tried very hard to implement new ideas …ideas that other networks are not willing to consider. We are now finalizing our roadmap for 2019 and identifying potential new strategies that can add further value to the members of X2.
Bringing value to our members of X2 has always been a priority for me and this will not change.
X2 has succeeded thus far due to many contributory factors. The right members, the right ethos, the right team, and an underlying drive to constantly take it to the next level. Each component to this success has worked in tandem with every other factor and created the beast that we know today. For some the beast is an integral part of day to day business, but for some it is barely looked at or thought about. We have always said that you will get out of X2 what you put in.
Today this is more true than ever. For me watching a room full of like minded professionals sew the seeds of future business is the most rewarding part about this job, and is the only time a network manifests into a physical form that can be seen and touched. Be part of X2 and plug your pipeline into the network. Make those deals face to face to encourage their longevity. Put your faith in each other at next years conference and together we will all prosper.
Of course, there’s still a lot of work ahead… especially with the development of business between members and the important shift change of mindsets of our members is urgently required if we are going to make X2 a network that can garner greater results than other networks moving forward.
In 2018 we have worked hard to try and create a culture within the network… a culture of reciprocation and professionalism. We implemented a framework… new rules and even some new tools… but sadly not all members collectively embraced them. Moving into the final Quarter of 2017 will see us continue to create ways that will assist members and how they do business.
Let’s continue to make X2 the most professional global logistics network in the world. On behalf of my team and everyone here at the X2 office …we thank you for your continued network support and we want you to know we are working on continuous improvement for the group and we really do care about what we do. I look forward to communicating with you all during the next few weeks and
I wish you all a prosperous final quarter of 2018!
Enjoy the read… X2 let’s go!
