The Conqueror network was inundated with applications, which has prompted it to streamline the membership application procedure.

Applicants must now complete a single form, while extra staff have been taken on to deal with the backlog.

Antonio Torres, who designed the network of freight forwarders, said: “We had a bigger response than we bargained for, and in our zeal to identify the most qualified candidates, we had asked for too much information and too many documents.”

Since the September 15 launch, hundreds of applications and thousands of emails were received, network coordinator Russell Whittington said. This forced the postponement of promotional campaigns on several continents.

Torres designed the network of independent freight forwarders to operate like a “virtual multinational”, with exclusive territories, internal discipline and a single brand.
He claims the new application form can be completed in an hour.

“The shorter form still lets us identify the best candidates to represent us in each of the 564 territories. We then ask for additional information only from the finalists,” he explained.

Conqueror was devised to ensure that all the members obtain large increases in business volume, in a protected environment.

Torres revealed he is confident that Conqueror will surpass its goal to cover the world’s 60 most important cities within six months.
