Tips for improved tips and trips
Tips are a topic of great interest among drivers and couriers. One might say it’s the bread and butter of the occupation. Because it’s the sole reason many couriers are able to continue in the field. It is also the sole reason many abandon the occupation, all together.
Couriers often use their own equipment. Therefore, keeping a well maintained vehicle can cut the overall cost of use. Finding lower priced fuel, lower priced replacement parts, and things like lower priced insurance, will also increase the tip to expense ratio.
The most successful drivers and couriers also have an understanding of the rush, and move to utilize the advantages and the timing of this event.
Improved Tips
Imagine being in a restaurant as a waiter. Most of the customers to be served, plan to eat dinner in the early to mid evening. As a server, the best chance to have maximum tip opportunities, would be during this time. Same formula for couriers and drivers working for tips. The rush is an important part of being a courier.
Remember professionalism and practice it! It happens often, the server works tirelessly and gives excellent service, and the customer does not tip. The most successful servers, understand this is but one tip opportunity in their shift. Keeping a professional outlook, improves the industry for everyone, and increases the tip quality for all drivers and couriers.
In short, mindset is as important to the tip, as the cargo is to the delivery. They go hand in hand. Focusing too much on something that typically happens after the delivery work is complete, will cause distractions. The courier that keeps base pay and guaranteed payouts as the priority, will notice an improved perspective on tips. Furthermore, this often leads to improved earnings overall. Stay safe out there.
