Too much money.

Mo' money, Mo' problems

Too much money.

You just don't want to end up paying more taxes. That's unpatriotic!

 

[TooTechie]

Dont you ever get sick of starting the same thread over and over troll?

Why would I do that? They obviously lack integrity by doing what they did. You think they're going to turn around and say "Oh sorry about that!"

Once is an accident, multiple times is intentional.

I always ask to have leads such as those reopened. The points all add up.

I know it might be difficult and it might hurt your feelings a bit but every lead you enter is one of big opportunities for the entite enterprise. Try twenty leads and measure a more realistic and fair opinion. Give BD a chance...reminds me of a song all we are saying...

That's me.

Does more volume mean keeping more routes in or just raping the ones that are already in even harder? I won't hold my breath on the former.

I feel bad for you young guys.

The way some of those trucks look every single day, the bean counters must think we are literally pack mules. The one guy is probably almost 60 and says he often isn't back until 8. He always looks so unhappy. It's sad, really. I don't see it getting any prettier.

Trust me. 3 decades later....much worse

Dear fellow ups,er.
I love our operations
I love our airplanes
I know we only have the best drivers in the business.

Our drivers are what is making ups Great! Still I hope we can agree that operations is costing us money. We need sales to drive new business and bring money in. Our possibilities are endless when the best drivers in the business hand in one lead every two months. When can we start picking up that new volume?

Do you also share the vision that in 2033 packagecars drive Packages to customers without the need of a real driver?

Why you asking us? Ask the sales force (if you can find out them), that's their job.

Amen. Why would I fight tooth and nail for something I was cheated out is of. Easier to just say ok won't do that again.


I'm not a salesman anyway. Hell I don't care for the 15 seconds of pleasantries exchanged everyday.

Sure that's when I'll be doing your job. No great feat asking other people to do my work while I promise things I can't give.

They said in 1960 we'd have that by 2000. And look where we are now...

Go to upsers, click on sales leads, click on control number, print, write "Please reopen as 'New and/or Additional Volume'", hand to OMS clerk. Follow up in a week to make sure you are getting credit for the new volume.

 

[Browndriver5]

We are a multi billion dollar company. Why in the hell should I be expected to submit sales leads when we have people being paid the big bucks to get us customers? Am I missing something? How bout instead of pounding the brown cafe forum trying to get us to do your job you pick up the phone and start calling new customers. It's pretty simple

And just how many sales leads do you turn in on an average week?
