"This is an exciting year for us in the Postal Service, and a time of dynamic change in the package delivery business, particularly as customers evaluate their role in contributing to a more sustainable future," says Susan Plonkey, Vice President, Sales. "To meet the new set of challenges and opportunities in the industry, we've equipped our sales team with the tools they need to meet the shipping requirements for customers of any size."
Each member of the USPS sales team is focused on designing solutions that help customers grow their business, manage their costs and do it in an environmentally friendly way. The Postal Service's strengths in the first and last mile of delivery are key factors in providing solutions that help businesses grow while managing their sustainability footprint.
