[QUOTE="RobRoy, post: 587702, member: 24651"] This is one person who worked for Overnight and now works for UPS Freight as an "Account Manager". The article states that "account managers don't make sales or obtain contracts nor do they perform managerial type work". The article also states: "Their sole responsibility is to deliver the company's pre-scripted promotional messages to local businesses in a particular area,". Never heard if this type of position in the Small Package business unit. Some how I doubt if this exists in UPS Freight. According to this article we have "Account Managers" who go door to door to blurt out a scripted message. It might be that we have some people in UPS Freight who are attempting to obtain sales leads; however, it seems there has got to be more to the story. Most successful AEs (Account Executives) I know in UPS Small Package do work close to or more than a 60 hour week. Part of the problem is that the AEs have a lot of "busy" work they have to do that cuts back on their "face time" in front of customers. It would be good to hear from someone in UPS Freight sales to find out what the real story is. [/QUOTE]
