Trade Risk Guaranty (TRG) Teams up with the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce to Find Talented Sales Reps

April 2009, Bozeman, Montana, became home to Trade Risk Guaranty (TRG), the leading direct supplier of International Trade products. Over one year later, the company is pushing forward with a local marketing campaign to increase the community’s awareness of TRG and to attract qualified sales representatives. The company expects their new membership with the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce to aid in greater community wide exposure.

Bozeman, MT 11 October 2010 – The Bozeman Chamber of Commerce offers local business owners networking opportunities and a place to become active participants in the Montana community. TRG, a local business new to Bozeman, has officially become a silver member of the chamber. http://www.bozemanchamber.com/membership/join.asp

Unique to Bozeman, TRG’s products do not cater to the needs of most local businesses and consumers. TRG offers trade facilitation products to U.S. importers via electronic communication. With the vast majority of the company’s market residing on the east and west coasts, the name TRG is rarely seen or heard in Bozeman. Functioning primarily as a sales and marketing office, the company is located in downtown Bozeman and is continually offering employment opportunities to the community. http://traderiskguaranty.com/Employment.aspx

Aside from the Chamber of Commerce, TRG is actively involved with student functions at Montana State University – Bozeman. TRG attends 1 – 2 career fairs at MSU each year and over 60% of TRG’s employees are graduates of MSU Bozeman. TRG recently sent Gregg Cummings, National Sales Manager, to campus, who spoke with students in a Professional Selling Business course about the skills needed to build a successful career in sales. TRG’s marketing department participated in a semester long business course allowing students to receive hands-on consulting experience.

Community members engaged with TRG employees as they distributed information about job opportunities at the MSU Pep Rally and Homecoming Parade this October. “We have spent a lot of time and money trying to find the best way to inform people about our excellent employment opportunities, but we continue to struggle to find candidates exhibiting the caliber of talent we expect from Bozeman,” Jena Leary, Marketing Director stated.

Cargo Theft Reports l What’s Your Risk?

All supply chains are unique. In many cases, the complexity of a supply chain and its security parameters permit gaps and, in turn, increase the theft risk of your freight. Certain cargo, such as electronics, is more susceptible to loss by theft than others. These risk factors include theft by commodity, the path of the import or location and the type of theft. Cargo theft statistics are available for importers and exporters to analyze their risks and make adjustments to their supply chains. Modifications may include increased security to your distribution channels to aid in cargo loss prevention and/or building a shipping insurance policy designed to your specific risks to offset the cost of a loss.

Must Read Cargo Theft Statistics
Every month FreightWatch International releases a Cargo Theft Report to subscribers. The report includes diagrams breaking down reported theft incidents for that month.

In August 2010 FreightWatch reported, “FreightWatch recorded 58 cargo theft incidents in August; an 18% increase from the thefts recorded in July. The states with the highest number of thefts were California and Florida, while Georgia experienced a higher number of incidents compared to last month displacing Texas to fourth place on the list of cargo theft.”

Dan Burges states that the FreightWatch data, "Comes from out own proprietary database. We gather cargo theft data through clients, industry organizations, law enforcement agencies, insurance companies and open source media. We believe our database to be one of the most comprehensive cargo theft databases covering cargo theft in the United States."

Unique supply chains deserve unique coverage! If you lack the broad insurance coverage you need, contact TRG Marine™ today to see how we can customize a cargo insurance policy specific to your commodities and distribution channel. Every supply chain is unique; your insurance policy should be so too. Our years of experience and market connections will find you the best coverage at the best price! www.TRGMarine.com
