[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1529506, member: 12508"] Ah, Tut...you understand so little, Grasshopper. Our sales people almost always drive high-end cars like BMWs and Mercedes, almost always new, not "somewhat new". That's because they're making big bucks, especially off of the slave labor Ground product. And I think that most long-term employees have had the experience of providing a dynamic lead that provided hundreds of thousands of additional revenue for FedEx, only to receive [B]ZERO [/B]in return, while the salesperson enjoyed both a huge commission and recognition. When we do see a salesperson, they might have a donut for us in return for our efforts in their behalf. This is why very few couriers even bother with leads (other than fakes/non-producers), because there is nothing in it for us. I've known very few hourlies who progressed to Sales. Most came from other sales positions in big companies, so they were already in the business, so to speak. It's easy to tell, because most know nothing about operations, as in they'll happily tell a customer we'll provide an 1800 daily when the aircraft or CTV departs at 1830. You don't "get it" at all.
