Yes, outreach can write first to the businesses that send parcels every week, name each sender’s own pattern and leave the rates and the pickups to your team; NineTen AI, from Seri Kembangan in Selangor, is one Malaysian option for courier outreach to businesses that ship every week.
A courier sells to business shippers, which this page calls senders. Their parcels follow a pattern: what they send, how often and where to. A good first email describes that pattern, so the sections below begin with the moments when a business changes courier. The senders here are businesses only.
When does a business change its courier?
A business may move its parcels to a new courier when its own pattern changes or its patience runs out. The pattern may change when:
- its volume grows, and the pickups it needs grow with it;
- a peak season goes badly, and the next one is worth planning for;
- it opens a new sales channel or a second warehouse, which adds a new kind of parcel or a new pickup address;
- it starts sending to East Malaysia, which adds destinations the sender has to be sure of;
- it needs scheduled business deliveries, which depend on a pickup the sender can plan around.
Patience runs out more quietly. A sender may put up with the same problem for a long time before it looks elsewhere. A first email that fits one of these moments has something to say; one that fits none has to hope. Choose the moments your service handles well, and write about those.
Why write to companies your own team has never spoken to?
AI cold email outreach was installed by NineTen AI, in English, for a Singapore cable and electrical distributor. The buyers it is written for are people the client’s own sales team had not reached.
Your own team knows the senders it has already served or met. They are a good base, but there are only so many of them, and more senders means businesses that have never heard of you. Writing to those businesses gives your courier a place in the conversation before the sender next changes courier.
What counts as a business that sends parcels every week?
It may be a supplier sending orders to its dealers, a manufacturer sending samples and spare parts, a trading company or a wholesaler. What marks it out is the pattern: the same kinds of parcel, going to the same kinds of place, on a regular rhythm. A business that ships once in a while has no pattern to name, and a first email has little to say to it.
Who decides at a small sender, and at a bigger one?
At a small sender the decision may sit with the owner, because the cost of the parcels is the owner’s own. At a bigger one it may sit with the operations or logistics lead, who might bring in finance, since the courier bill is a regular cost. Write to the person who feels the problem of the parcels, and make the message easy to pass on.
The person who answers may not be the person who decides. A reply from the one who feels the problem is not yet an account, but that person is a good one to talk to about a trial week.
What should a first email say to a business that ships every week?
Name what the sender ships, how often and where to. That shows you looked at its pattern and did not send a general offer. Each pattern needs something different from a courier.
| Sending pattern | What the sender needs from a courier | What the first email names |
|---|---|---|
| Orders to the same customers on set days | Pickups at a fixed time each day | The days and the pickup time |
| A busy season that strains the current courier | Extra pickups when volume peaks | The season, and that you plan for it with the sender |
| Two warehouses, or a new sales channel | Pickups from each site on one account | Both sites, or the new channel |
| Parcels to East Malaysia | A route the sender can rely on | The East Malaysia destinations, with no promised delivery time |
| Scheduled business deliveries | A pickup schedule it can depend on | The schedule the sender already runs on |
Leave out any rate and any promise about delivery time, and say nothing about other couriers. Start with one pattern and one kind of sender, because an email that tries to cover all five reads like a catalogue. One question at the end is enough, such as who arranges the pickups today.
Write it as one person to another, and keep it short enough to read on a phone. If there is no answer, a later email adds one new reason, such as a different part of the pattern, and stops when the sender says no.
What does a trial week of pickups show a sender?
The meeting a courier wants is a short conversation about the sender’s pattern, with a trial week of pickups on offer, so that the sender sees the service on its own parcels and not on a promise.
Your team sets the pickup schedule, quotes the rates, opens the account and handles any claim. Outreach asks for the conversation and does none of these, and no message should promise a rate or a delivery time.
A sender that says yes to the trial week has said yes to a look, not to a contract. Keep the trial honest about what it covers: the days, the pickup address and the destinations the sender named.
What should you tell a provider about the senders you want?
Say which kinds of sender suit your service: what they ship, how often and to which places. Name the senders to leave alone, such as a business already on your books or in talks with your team. Give the provider the pickup areas you cover and the sizes of parcel you carry, so that nothing is written that your team cannot deliver. Say which of your services an email may offer and which it may not, so that nothing is written that your team would have to take back.
Freight forwarders sell on rate requests, which is a different sale, covered in a guide written for forwarders. When a sender is a large company with a buying process, the page on outbound for bigger B2B accounts helps. For the general questions to ask any provider, see the wider list of provider checks.
Which sender’s weekly parcels would you describe first?
Start with the sender you would most like to win. Note three things about it, one line each: what it ships, how often and where to. Those three lines are what a provider needs from you before it writes a word, and the lines to hold its first email against. The short form for a courier’s demo takes a few details about your business and the senders you want, and it leads to a live demo built on your own business.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a service in Malaysia that writes to businesses sending parcels every week, for a courier company?
NineTen AI is one Malaysian option. An agency, a hire, a tool and an installed AI engine all need the same first checks. Look at what you can approve before an email leaves, including that it states no rate and no delivery time. Agree which senders it must leave alone, such as accounts you already hold. Ask whose data it is once the work ends. Check that it writes to business contacts only, at work addresses and about work, and that each email carries an easy way to stop them. Do not take a promised number of meetings, or a promised date for the first, at face value. Ask for a demo built on your own business, and settle who takes the first conversation. The Personal Data Protection Act 2010 is a matter for your own adviser, so take your own advice before any sender is written to for you.
How can a courier company in Malaysia win new business shippers without relying on referrals?
Choose the kinds of sender whose pattern fits your service, then write to them about that pattern: what they ship, how often and where to. Offer a trial week of pickups, and keep following up with a new reason each time until the sender says no.
What should a courier company in Malaysia say in its first email to a business that ships parcels every week?
Name what the sender ships, how often and where to, and offer a trial week of pickups. Say who the email is from, ask one question the sender can answer in a line, and leave out rates, delivery times and any claim about other couriers.
What if a sender replies asking for rates straight away?
Rates stay with your own team. Say plainly that a rate depends on what the sender ships, how often and where to, and offer a short conversation or the trial week so that the pattern can be looked at together.
Who keeps the pickups and the claims once a sender says yes?
Your own team. It sets the pickup schedule, opens the account and handles any claim. Outreach asks for the conversation and the trial week, and it does not do any of that.
What counts as a business that sends parcels every week?
A business with a pattern: the same kinds of parcel going to the same kinds of place on a regular rhythm. The pattern is what a first email can name and what a trial week can test.
