I refuse to turn in Sales Leads for international volume on my route.
Sober, this seems to be counter productive. If you turn in a sales lead and in the comments write "Paperless Invoice" in theory, somebody from BD will talk to them about the benefits of Paperless Invoice (Main one being that it skips the ODC in the Hub and goes straight to one of the ODC Centers to have it clear customs before you pick up the package) and sign them up.
If the customer goes paperless, than there is no invoice for you to audit. Keep in mind UPS is the only carrier that offers this feature. If it's somebody you know has been held, let them know it's designed to cut down on holds.
There is no fee for this service, simply a form that they have to have the customer fill out. If the customer so desires, they can print a copy for their own records, but cut down on the triplicate and things that you have to look over.
When your management team tries to put the hold on you, simply state that there was no invoice to audit to begin with and they will back off.
So really, for those larger international shippers, you should be submitting leads and telling them about Paperless Invoice. If you need a flier, your Management team should have one, if not, I can scrounge up a PDF that they can print out and you can give to your customers.
