Here's How to Submit a Sales Lead


You’ve read it all in the news. You’ve seen it in postal communications. It’s the talk among postal co-workers.
Reduced mail volume, coupled with the unique burden of prefunding retiree health benefits, is creating enormous financial pressure on our organization. And as you know, the Postal Service is a self-funded government enterprise that relies on the sale of postal products and services to fund its operations.
Although these are challenging times for the Postal Service and its employees, it’s also a great opportunity to grow the business --- our business. Working together as a team and “engaging” in revenue-generation initiatives will improve our overall financial situation and create long-term job security for all of us!
What can you do?
Submit a lead!
What is a lead?
-- You were placing an order online and could not request USPS as the shipper.
-- You were on vacation and noticed a UPS or FedEx truck at the place of business.
-- Your neighbor or family member owns a business that is not using the Postal Service.
-- A new business starts up.
How do you submit a lead? Go to http://mcd.tteam.com/referral/salesref.htm. Here's the information you'll need to provide:
-- The company's name, address and contact information.
-- Your name and contact information.
-- USPS products and services that the company might be interested in using.
-- Competitor usage, if known.

What happens with a lead that you’ve submitted? A sales representative will contact the customer within 48 hours or receipt of the lead with information you have provided about how to contact the customer. The sales representative will notify you of the lead status via the email or the telephone number you input on the Submit a Lead form once customer contact is made.
Who do you contact if you have any questions? You can either contact your District Sales Office at 954-885-6841 or send your questions or concerns to sleads@usps.gov with Submit a Lead in the subject line.
Yes, our business is changing. But what has not changed is who we are! A dedicated workforce committed to its employer and its customers. Let’s “engage” and do our part to generate revenue through the Submit a Lead Program.
