Racing to Raise $1 Billion in Leads 

Race for a $Billion, a campaign to raise $1 billion in estimated annualized revenue through sales leads from employees, is underway. 

The Small Business Sales team is organizing the effort, which began in the fall and will continue through the end of the current fiscal year on Sept. 30. The campaign aims to build on last year’s success, when employees submitted sales leads that generated more than $900 million in estimated annualized revenue.

 

Sales leads can come from virtually anywhere — a new restaurant in town, a home-based business owner who uses a USPS competitor to ship his or her products, or a shopkeeper seeking new ways to advertise his or her wares.

Employees who spot these kinds of opportunities can use one of five programs to submit the lead: Customer Connect (for letter carriers), Clerks Care (for distribution clerks, machine clerks and retail associates), Mail Handlers (for mail handlers), Rural Reach (for rural carriers) and Submit a Lead (for everyone else, including Executive and Administrative Schedule employees).
