Shops that receive a short briefing on freight insurance and risk cover convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Stark Pro
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
Seasonality interacts with freight insurance and risk cover more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
