Business
Development Specialist Lorri Kayser and NRLCA Vice President/ District RCA
Retention Specialist Natasha Patterson partnered to speak with Bradenton
Lakewood Ranch Rural Carriers about the importance of submitting leads through
the Rural Reach Program.
Employees
learned how to look for business opportunities. They also learned that after
they submit contact information for potential new business a trained Postal
Service product expert will follow up to assist them. “We’re not asking you to
be sales people, we just want you to look for companies who are not using the Postal
Service,” said Kayser.
Patterson
shared tips on how to ask for a company’s contact information. She told the group, “Looking for new business
leads is a great way to grow your routes.” The sharing session resulted in six new leads
and employees’ awareness of the benefits of helping our company grow.
Thank
you, Team Lakewood Ranch!
