The Sales Lead Again !!!!!!

[swing_drv]

This sales lead crap is getting old. I was told if I didn't turn one in management would have to come ride with me!! We get so much work thrown on us we don't have time to talk to anyone. Isn't that a sales person's job ?

Yes and no. In theory, drivers are salespeople IMO. However, the reality has become that drivers are only delivery people, largely because of the amount of work they are given, again, IMHO. Really sad considering UPS was built by word of mouth. I think I read somewhere--maybe in Greg Niemann's book--that UPS didn't even have a marketing department until sometime in relatively recent memory--as in the '80's. I could be wrong. -Rocky

Turning in sales leads isn't a problem...

One guy in my center turns the same topless bar every time they "require" us to turn in a sales lead.

Another guy turns in a sale lead for a business that is on the "Do Not Call List".

Quality or quantity? You get one or the other...

Sales leads are very easy to get. If you go in and see packages that our competitors have delivered. That is a SALES LEAD. Just ask your customer if they care if you take the delivery label from the box or just write down the sender on a piece of paper, be sure to get a contact name if possible and a phone number. All we have to do at our center is turn in the address label and our supervisor takes care of the rest. Just be sure and put your employee ID on the label with your name that way you get credit for the lead. Sales leads don't just have to be from possible shippers on YOUR route.

They want the name of the person responsible for shipping. I have a 35 stop metro no clue who is in charge of shipping at any stop. Not my job. Too busy trying to meet the numbers. Take another 5.8 away, maybe then I'll start doing the salespeople's job.

I got a sales lead and I'm not even a driver. My mom works at Wal-mart and told me some stuff about them wanting to switch to Fed-ex so I told UPS about the potential lose of service and was rewarded with $25 after a month.

 

[Harley Rider]

I refuse to turn in a bogus sales lead just so my center manager or sup can attain a number. The only sales leads that have been turned in on my DIAD were done by supervisors. Matter of fact I received a credit card once in the mail from UPS for sales lead payment and gave it to the supervisor. Told him that he earned it .......... not me.

I reject your reality and insert my own.
