[QUOTE="hellfire, post: 519217, member: 21505"] SLIM (sales) lead ca be very difficult to work. For one we are not given enough time to really work a sales lead with all the other mandated work that has to be done or you lose your job. Another reason is most sales leads are very happy with their current carrier and most people do not like change. Think about this. I do banking with a bank that offers free checking, online banking and bill paying as well as Saturday banking and I like the people that work at that bank at all branches I bank with. Let's say another bank called me to tell me how great they were and they wanted my business. Well, I, like most people would not be likely to listen to much of what that sales person would have to say. I am happy with what I have even if you can offer the same thing and I do not want to change even if I get a token of your appreciation. People do not like change. Business people make changes when they have issues with their current carriers. Not when a UPS driver submits a sales lead that says the account is aware of the lead and I call and get this, " I cannot believe Joe would do this to me. Why would he give you my phone number. Do not call me again. I ship what I ship the way I want to ship it and I do not need your help" . She was correct she ships about $20 a week with UPS and she did not need my help. Every now and again there is that diamond in the rough and a new account is created that will ship UPS. But you just would not believe how much work is neccessary to get an account to ship with UPS.
