WFN Founder, Kelly Bunyan offers strong and fair leadership, management and influence
After 19+ years, WFN could be twice the size that it is now, however WFN Founder, Kelly Bunyan, is exceptionally particular regarding the calibre of forwarder permitted to join her network. Kelly states:

"Size does not matter! Quality will always be more significant than all else. This is why I limit the Membership to 3 per territory. We have long waiting lists for so many countries, but I will never change this policy, in order to maintain an air of exclusivity, within a non-exclusive network. This gives my members a chance to obtain business - the ultimate goal.
As a result, a sense of family and an element of intimacy is safeguarded, which is particularly prevalent at our Member Meetings - our members leave the events being remembered, rather than lost in a sea of competitors. Join us at our next Meeting." |

For strong and successful companies, this process is a mere formality. Your company is strong right? So
JOIN WFN.
WFN exists to aid your quest to increase business, consequently all at WFN Head Office work tirelessly to promote the WFN brand globally and to attract quote requests for its members.

Marketing tools are provided by WFN Head Office to demonstrate the global alliance WFN Membership provides.

A dedicated website is provided too, with a video of Kelly endorsing your company. Another example is this
Multimedia Presentation, which can be shown to potential clients. Such tools assist you in demonstrating the global reach of your company.
Additionally countless state-of-the-art systems are in place in the Member Website to assist you in finding the right WFN partner and obtaining rates quickly in order to win the business you are pursuing. Members can be found via an interactive map, a printable map, every type of list - excel, online, drop down company or country searches. You name it, WFN has it to ensure that no time is lost in quoting for your customer.
Member Profile Page
Once a suitable company is found within the systems, you can learn as much information as the relevant company is willing to share; each WFN member can manage their unique Company Profile Page, which contains all contact details, a list of services, company profile presentations, details about staff members and photographs.
Email Systems
WFN uses a secure, dedicated email system allowing Members to send a single email to a specific email address, which is then automatically distributed to all members. This provides an excellent tool for members to promote their new services, a great shipment they have just been involved with, the opening of new offices, changes in local procedures, introducing new staff - anything that will raise the profile of their company within the network.
To ensure fast communication within the network, WFN also has dedicated email addresses to assist in directing quote requests to specific countries. All members in the required country can be reached with ease. The advantage of this system is that you will get competitive rates from several overseas offices, allowing you to select the most well-matched and compatible company to work with for each individual shipment. Full details on this system are provided upon joining.
Payment Protection
As soon as business begins to be exchanged, the Online Payment Monitoring System has been designed to ensure smooth cash flow between members and to prevent late payments. Healthy financials within the network are imperative. WFN Head Office is immediately alerted to any late payments and can intervene. Grand payment protection insurance schemes are just not needed in WFN - they have the adverse affect of failing to breed a sense of trust. With 99% and 100% payment records from year to year (currently 99-100%), WFN Members elected not to choose to enrol in a scheme when it was offered to them.
Quality Control
To maintain standards, a Quality Control Survey is completed on an annual basis, to give WFN Head Office an insight into the quality of all members. Providing Excellent, Average and Poor ratings, weaker performing members can be highlighted and if necessary, expelled. Such a window into all activity within the network is advantageous for the longevity of WFN. Members are also encouraged to report any misdemeanours to WFN Head Office as soon as they arise. Whatever the dispute, the earlier the intervention, the sooner the resolution. Member disputes are exceptionally rare, meaning that dealings are very harmonious, hence the renewal rate being at 97% per annum.
