I just noticed on UPSers.com that we can now get points for getting people to sign up for UPS MyChoice. It is a promotion lasting from May 20th to September 20th; I'm hoping if it proves to be a success that it will become permanent. I understand MyChoice is important to maintain market share or even grow our business on the residential side of things (and maybe even commercial, when it comes to small businesses), ergo job security for myself, which should be enough motivation to sign up new members (already signed myself up couple of months ago). However, the possibility of money (however small the amount) may lead some more drivers to promote the program, which will hopefully lead to more people signing up and asking for UPS as their preferred deliverer of choice, which leads to not only increased security for me but maybe prompt corporate to hire more fulltime drivers to deliver and create more FT hub jobs to process the extra packages.
As an aside, one new benefit of MyChoice is to allow members to not only be notified whenever a package is being sent to them via Surepost (this benefit is available in the suite of options for the Basic MyChoice program, which is free), but also to pay a small fee (I think $3.50) to have that upgraded to Ground service. A lot of you on here have talked about customers complaining about SurePost, so this alone (and again, it's available to those who sign up for MyChoice Basic, which is free) could enable you to sign up some new program members. 75 signups gets you a Kindle Fire, or the equivalent points; 100 gets you an iPad, or equivalent points.
