Zip around the track and into the winner’s circle in the final leg of the “Race to Miami” Business Connect™ Competition! Running from August 1 through September 30, Race 3 has a global flavor by highlighting international shipping. To be entered in the prize drawing, complete and record five Business Connect activities, focusing at least two of those activities on the topic of international shipping.
Use your International Shipping Kit to educate your business customers on our updated lineup of international shipping products. (The kit was mailed to all Post Offices™ beginning July 24.) These materials show the benefits and simplicity of our services. The kit includes the following items:
- Worldwide Shipping Folder. Use this folder to keep your international shipping materials in one easy-to-access location. It also contains an instructional guide to assist with your meetings. This folder is for internal use only and should not be shared with your customers. See Figure 1 (below) for an image of the cover of this folder.
- International Features and Benefits (FAB) Sheet. Reference this sheet to understand key features and benefits of our international services. We’ve included five copies so you can leave one behind with your customers. See Figure 2 (below) for an image of the FAB sheet.
- International Rate Sheet. Reference this sheet for comprehensive shipping rates, timing, and product attributes. We’ve included five copies so you can leave one behind with your customers. See Figure 3 on the following page for an image of the rate sheet.
You should also bring to the customer meetings a generous sampling of global envelopes and boxes to leave behind along with the FAB and rate sheets. To order additional kit materials, please visit the Business Connect Data Center; go to http://blue.usps.gov/marketing/businessconnect/welcome.htm and click on Go to Business Connect Data Center. For additional information on international products and services, go to usps.com/international.
Remember, after completion of all the races, each of the top three districts with the highest Business Connect activities to target and each of the top three districts with the highest year-to-date (YTD) sales will receive $1,000 toward a district celebration. So put the pedal to the metal and tell customers what the Postal Service™ can do for them!
