MESSAGE FROM

OVERTON
Dear X2 Colleagues,
As we enter the 4th Quarter of 2017 and begin ramping
up for the final sprint of the year …I hope you are all
well and on track to achieving the targets set out at the
beginning of 2017!!
Welcome to our latest X2 Quarterly Newsletter… this 3rd
edition of 2017 highlights yet again more member news
as well as some useful tips and insights from the X2 team.
2017 has been quite a year for all of us at X2... and as we
have now entered into the 4th Quarter of the year we have
seen through many developments, in sometimes less
than favorable circumstances. But we’ve also achieved
a huge amount in… many ways. Within the development
of the network I feel we have made good progress when
compared to other networks in the sense that we have
tried very hard to implement new ideas …ideas that other
networks are not willing to consider. We are now finalizing
our roadmap for 2018 and identifying potential new
strategies that can add further value to the members of
X2. Bringing value to our members of X2 has always been
a priority for me and this will not change.
A network is something that cannot be touched. A
network is something than cannot be seen. A network
is neither something or nothing. A network is different
to each individual person that is a part of it, and holds
a unique meaning within each company, within each
branch, and within each member of staff. The concept
is nothing new, and can be rolled out by anyone, but a
network can never be replicated. There is a reason some
networks thrive, some fade away, and some never make it
off the ground.
X2 has succeeded thus far due to many contributory
factors. The right members, the right ethos, the right
team, and an underlying drive to constantly take it to the
next level. Each component to this success has worked in
tandem with every other factor and created the beast that
we know today. For some the beast is an integral part of
day to day business, but for some it is barely looked at or
thought about.

We have always said that you will get out of X2 what you
put in. Today this is more true than ever. For me watching
a room full of like minded professionals sew the seeds of
future business is the most rewarding part about this job,
and is the only time a network manifests into a physical
form that can be seen and touched. Be part of X2 and
plug your pipeline into the network. Make those deals face
to face to encourage their longevity. Put your faith in each
other at next years conference and together we will all
prosper.
Of course, there’s still a lot of work ahead… especially
with the development of business between members and
the important shift change of mindsets of our members
is urgently required if we are going to make X2 a network
that can garner greater results than other networks moving
forward. In 2017 we have worked hard to try and create
a culture within the network… a culture of reciprocation
and professionalism. We implemented a framework…
new rules and even some new tools… but sadly not all
members collectively embraced them. Moving into the
final Quarter of 2017 will see us continue to create ways
that will assist members and how they do business.
Let’s continue to make X2 the most professional global
logistics network in the world. On behalf of my team and
everyone here at the X2 office …we thank you for your
continued network support and we want you to
