Applying• The application process... • Applications are submitted online through our website as well as through E mails. • www.fronglinenetworks.net • Pointers to remember while completing the application form… • It is very important in filling out the online application form is that you provide the 2 references we request.

These references should be overseas agents who have worked with your office. • The references will require complete contacts (company name, name, direct phone / mobile and direct e-

mail). The references provided should be:

1) Senior management 2) In companies outside of your home country market 3) Have two years experience in working with your company 4) Should be in non-related agent companies (should not have substantial cross shareholdings or in the same group as your company)

• Also, each branch office that is applying to come into FFN will also have to supply a minimum of 2 references that will attest to their own ability to handle shipments. This requirement is due to the fact that we have found in the past some companies who were very good in one location and not very good in others. We are diligent in making sure that all offices carrying our membership are up to standard.

• Be prepared to give detailed information on the cargo that you handled with these agents should we ask further. And if you are currently working with any FFN Members, this is also very important for us to know from the beginning.

• Remember, applications without the 2 overseas agent references will be returned to you! • Once we have this application, then the Team Leader will personally follow up on the references. Should the

references give you good recommendations and the information regarding your company’s background and reputation be verifiable then you should be offered membership. Once an official notification has been sent to you about your acceptance our accounts will send the membership invoice to you. Once this is paid then we will add you to the directory and announce you to all of the members! “ Coming Together is a Beginning

Keeping Together is Progress. Working Together is Success.”
