WDF, I have submitted sales leads. They were sold leads. I recieved my score card. Since then it has been nothing but a constant battle to check on points accumulated. The last statement I rec'd was dated 2/08. Why should I bother. It takes to much of my time to argue with some ............. on the other end to find out anything.
I have no interest what so ever to submit other leads.
I agree with pudg it is a good post but..................
One of my sold leads was Home Depot. In more than 2 yrs I have earned a total of 42 dollars. That just doesn't seem right when our Home Depot ships every single day.
I understand your frustration, dilligaf. One of the biggest faults that we have as a company is getting information to people that need to hear it.
As far as checking your actual ScoreCard balance, you would do that through American Express, who holds the account. I'm not sure if the company changes from district to district or not, but in my own district it's American Express. There should be a phone number on the back of the ScoreCard to call American Express, or vendor. American Express sends statements on your account, so make sure your H/R GEMS files are updated to reflect your currently mailing address, so that American Express can get their mail to you.
When it comes to the status of your sales leads, have you ever visited the employee's web site at upers.com? You would need to register with the site, if you haven't already, but on the site you can check the status of your leads. Although, I'm not sure if the site lists the total points awarded.
If there was a vehicle in place where you could view the status of your own leads, including the lead status as closed or sold and listed the total points earned, you would feel better about submitting leads?
Your Take Charge Committee is the link to making changes in the way sales lead information is communicated in your district. Get involved and make something happen in your district! If you don't know who is on your Take Charge Committee, then ask your Business Manager or your Sales Rep, they should be able to direct you.
