There are two basic couriers when it comes to leads:
Mome people can't be bothered with leads(or run nearly pure resi routes)
And others who are in growth areas and can actually find leads...but honestly that doesn't happen much.
FEDEX is trying to create a third:
They want leads no matter what, even if you don't contact anyone or even if the company has no interest.
Falsifying leads is horrible business, if they want a bunch of random businesses that SALES can cold call, then they should get a phone book and start calling. Which I'm sure companies are really glad to get cold calls from FDX
Don't get me wrong leads will help business, and good leads will get turned in. Lead-on is a joke I know a CRR who turned in a million dollar account(per year) and she got a $50 payout.. I get one BZ a month for $50.
I don't know where I'm going with this but anyone else have there senior manager waiting at the station for leads? I just say sorry had 160 resi stops today, no time to get a lead...
