1. Description of the challenge

How can AI/datascience assist UPS sales resources with finding the right prospect?

UPS sales teams have limited time and resources. Not every company is a good fit for UPS services (e.g. some ship rarely, or only domestically with low value). AI and data science can help prioritize the right prospects.

2. Expected outcome

This subject matters to UPS because it makes sales reps more efficient, more relevant, more competitive, and more scalable. AI-driven prospecting means fewer wasted calls, better customer fit, and higher win rates — which directly impacts UPS’s growth and revenue.
