Federal Express Knows Customers Want it Now!

“You know you have hit the big time when the purple-and-orange lettered Federal Express (FedEx) truck

driven by a smiling courier pulls into your driveway or walks up to your stairwell and hands you the purple-

and-orange envelope. First off, it’s always a blessed relief to get what’s inside, because it absolutely,

positively had to get there.”

Fred Smith, a 20-year-old sophomore at Yale University, understood this characteristic of American

culture when he thought up his topic for his business class project. We all know the legend, how he

wrote a term paper describing his idea for overnight delivery of documents anywhere in the country by

means of a fleet of airplanes flying to a hub system converging on Memphis of all places. Fred got a C on

the paper, and most of his buddies thought he was lucky.

But it took more than full faith in a sophomore’s brainchild to make FedEx what it is today. The

the company services one of the most important aspects of American culture and business: the need for a

NOW response and FedEx knows that the only thing it has to sell is NOW-without fail.

Questions to answer:

Around the globe, people have developed what has been called a “microwave mentality.” We like quick

service, instant food, and fast results. Does this describe you as a customer?

What other Global companies besides Federal Express base their success on NOW services and explain

why?
