Dallas Proud

The Power of One Do you really think one person can make a difference in our organization? If you ask the Dallas Sales Team, they would enthusiastically say, “Yes!” Last year, they not only met their sales lead goal, but with the help of Dallas District employees, they tripled it. Their goal was $10,552,497 and they finished FY20 with $35,188,363, which placed them in eighth place in the nation. Fiscal 2020’s campaign, which was called Race for a $Billion, saw 15.8 percent of Postal Service employees submitting at least one sales lead, for a total of more than 120,000 leads and generating more than $1.2 billion in estimated annualized revenue. We work for one of the greatest organizations in the world, and each of us plays a part in ensuring its future. One of the ways to do that is by focusing on identifying new sources of revenue. Every day, new businesses are opening up, providing opportunities to gain new customers. And there’s an easy way all postal employees can participate. By asking some simple questions, we can turn a small conversation into a big profit. The Postal Service’s Employee Engagement Program (EEP) is an employee-driven initiative that generates new revenue by showing customers how we can help them grow their business. Each of the programs is tailored to specific job functions, such as Carriers (Customer Connect and Rural Reach), Clerks (Clerks Care), and Mail Handlers (Mail Handler Leads). There is also a program for Supervisors, Managers and those in support functions (Business Connect and Submit a Lead). I encourage everyone to think about your personal sphere of contact. Do you know a friend or family member with a business that is not currently using the Postal Service? If so, take a few minutes to show them how they can save time and money with our products. Each of us can make a difference, let’s be a part of this year’s Power of One campaign and help ensure the Postal Service continues to serve the public for years to come.
