I have 4 YOE in a 3PL company as a Senior Sales Executive in the warehousing and local transportation business verticals, achieving a humble S$1.5 million ARR in outbound sales, contract retainer up to 5 years. Just trying my luck here to see if there’s anyone who’s able to refer me to a reputable logistics firm. I am willing to explore other business verticals such as air/sea freight as well. Any insights about TC are welcomed
