Sales reps: Oh, NOW you want to start contacting customers?

[Overpaid Union Thug]

Has anyone else that has a lot of pick up accounts been told that a local sales rep has been calling to see if we are making pick ups? I lost count of how many of my pick up customers have told me that.

Apparently one for my area has been calling asking whether or not I’ve started coming by and if I‘m making the pick up on time. I assume he means during the pick up window. My customers have basically told him yeah. Don’t worry. He’s got this.

What’s strange is you can’t get these guys to contact any customers for a sales lead, which I gave up on a very long time ago, or when an existing account has issues and wants to speak with them. But now they want to attempt to micromanage their drivers from the comfort of their wasted cubicle space? LOL.

Since the start of the pandemic we have been dealing with closures, customers opening later, closing earlier, and other nonsense and these supposed sales reps want to try to get proactive now? Well, they are rather late to the party. As usual.

Probably not their idea, I'm sure they have a flavor of the month in their department too

They’re probably bored to tears from being quarantined at home and making Tik Tok videos.

The sales hacks were probably slacking off and someone in corporate lowered the boom, so to justify their existence, they started making calls.

Ain't that the truth? Lazy bastards don't do a damn thing. Lost an account awhile ago that shipped 2 skids of 10 50lb next day air every day like clockwork. Serious money. Been 3 years and most i can get them to do is call and leave a half asked voice-mail. God forbid you actually get into your car and go make the company money. I wouldn't want you to do that.

They have to protect their phony baloney jobs.

 

[Indecisi0n]

They have our sales reps delivering packages.

Sales lead reps are untruthful and don’t give u credit for submitting. Straight ignore.

The sales reps spend all their time stroking the big accounts and the little guys that don't make them money never see a rep.

 

[Over70irregs]

I will NEVER EVER submit another sales lead again. Point system always changes to rip you off. When they talk I’m thinking do some jumpseat and drop that gut bro.....

 

[rocket man]

I turned into letterbox drop points where 100% they would have put them up UPS said no.!

 

[Poop Head]

I know of accounts that cancelled months ago. Customers are still being charged the pickup fee

 

[Over70irregs]

Give me a laptop and a cell so I can snatch that job and be home before 6pm nighty. Oh I forgot.... work from home also.

That job will be the next to go bye bye.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

That job will be the next to go bye bye.

It will be outsourced to a third party vendor.

They where out helping drivers last Saturday. Not really sure how the Union allowed that one .

 

[Ghost in the Darkness]

I'm pretty sure we won't see pickup compliance back in action... but if we do I forsee chain smoking in the management ranks becoming a big problem.
