I

Customer Service Doesn't Take a Master's Degree I grew up next to an incredible family. Overachievers all, the father was a well-respected attorney and tireless world explorer, one of the five children became a doctor, another a pipeline worker, one a Buddhist who lived in the wilderness, next a financial wizard, and the youngest is an Ivy League dropout who remained to take care of whatever needed taking care of for her siblings and parents.

I’ve kept in touch and observed how they continue to work in their 50s and 60s, using the skill sets they’ve been adept at their entire lives. They have morphed into things more customer service oriented. The brilliance they’ve always possessed is now shown in ways to still make a dollar while ensuring customers are happy.

One has gone from the financial industry to providing total immersion packages in the south of France. While staying in her chateau, you can learn to cook your way through a week in France, or you might want to improve your barely there high school French. My friend has found another niche in which to earn a dime.

In the ice industry, I have met ‘newcomers’ looking for just such a niche. Our industry has seen a small but steady influx of folks from other industries who have found their way our way, so to speak.

In this issue, we profile Ron Taylor and Cubelet Ice. A satisfied farm customer from Georgia came to Taylor Manufacturing because of its solid reputation in building and servicing food handling equipment, and asked the company to build a mini ice plant. It looked like a good fit for Taylor Manufacturing. While the project did not work out as anticipated, they made lemonade out of lemons and it put the Taylors in the ice business. His story is on page 14.

True, France and Georgia used to be a world apart. But in this day of little separation between places and peoples, customer service, no matter what face it takes, always wears the same smile.

WHY LISTENING IS SO DIFFICULT...

...AND WHAT TO

DO ABOUT IT

by Bob Weinstein

S

peaking is easy; listening is difficult.

Experts say that the average person actually remembers a fraction of what is said to them.

In the course of a lifetime, so much time is spent mastering nuts and bolts career skills, but little time is spent polishing essential interpersonal skills.

Listening is one of them.

For decades, recruiters, HR people and organizational heads have complained about job candidates lacking strong communication skills. This is a common complaint from recruiters in all industries. IT candidates, particularly, are singled out for lacking rudimentary communication skills.

April 2017 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 7

“One of the reasons for difficulty listening is because there is too much stimulation around us,” according to Cherie Kerr, president of ExecuProv, a Santa Ana, Calif.-based communication training company.

Technology is the culprit

But the real culprit, Kerr asserts, is technology - PDAs, cell phones, Blackberries and iPhones. “There is so much going on, it’s difficult to focus on what people are saying to us,” says Kerr.

Gilda Carle, a New York City-based psychotherapist, says we have trouble listening because we focus on body language 55 per cent of the time, and on vocal intonation 38 per cent of the time. That leaves only seven per cent to devote to what someone is saying. “We’re terrible listeners because we are distracted by 93 per cent of these nonverbal cues as opposed to the seven per cent of what we should be hearing,” says Carle.

How to be a better listener

Think of listening as a skill that must be mastered. Nobody is born knowing how to read and write. These essentials skills are mastered by constant practice. Similarly, listening has to be learned the same way. Kerr says the first step in mastering listening is what she calls, “Being here now.” This means “staying in the moment we are in, concentrating on every second of a conversation. If we don’t, we might miss a critical cue or idea.”

8 REFRIGERATION Magazine │April 2017

Why salespeople are great listeners

A sound strategy for improving listening skills is adopting the techniques of veteran salespeople. A good salesperson is always listening and paying close attention to what his or her prospects or customers are saying. One way to remember what people say is to repeat back to them what they are saying, so that the thought is understood and remembered.

One of the hardest things to do during a first face-to-face conversation with someone is to remember the person’s name. A loud environment such as a busy restaurant or a convention hall may limit what you hear the person saying.

So you don’t forget the name ask if the person has a business card. On the back of the card, write the date of the conversation and notes about the conversation, such as information you have promised to send to the speaker.

Don’t expect to become a good listener overnight. It takes time, patience, concentration and hard work. You can start by slowing down. Just because everything around you is happening quickly doesn’t mean you have to follow suit.

Apply the brakes, focus and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you hear and remember.

FAMILY BUSINESS

Managing the Family Business:

Entrepreneurs Needed for Long-Run Success

Families that want to stay in business for generations don't have a choice but to encourage entrepreneurship in and out of their family company, say Michael Roberts and John Davis. Here's how.

by John A. Davis & Michael J. Roberts (Reprinted with permission)

I

n the world of family business, the entrepreneurs we celebrate are usually founders of companies.

These clever, hardworking individuals identify a good business opportunity, scrape together some money and loyal employees, and start a company that takes off. The heirs of the founder and later generations

of the family are supposed to take care of and grow the founder's creation; they are not expected to be entrepreneurs themselves. Even attempting to reinvent the family company can be seen as disloyal by the family.

This constraint often kills the family business.

April 2017 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 11

We think it is time to reassess the importance of entrepreneurs for not only the continuation of the family company, but for the continued success of the family itself.

Managers inside your core business who think like entrepreneurs (we call them intrapreneurs) can identify opportunities that move your family company into new lines of business, rejuvenate the founder's legacy, and put the enterprise on a new growth path. Entrepreneurs (typically family members) working outside the business but with family financial support can keep talented kin inside a broader "family enterprise," diversify business activities, and build assets.

There are many roles to play in a family business, but entrepreneurs are critical for long-term success.

Families that want to stay in business for another generation don't have a choice except to encourage entrepreneurship in and out of their company. There are business reasons and family reasons why we think this is true.

THE BUSINESS REASONS In today's competitive environment of rapid technological change and

quickly evolving industries, it doesn't pay to become too attached to current lines of business or methods for serving customer needs. You need to regularly change what you make and sell, and probably how you make and sell it. You must be nimble and, as certain lines of business wane, be able to identify growth opportunities in and out of the core industry and pursue them in experimental, costeffective ways. For that, you need the risk-taking, resourceful attitude of an entrepreneur.

Families succeed because they invest IN productive activities... emphasize growing assets and consume relatively little of their wealth.

12 REFRIGERATION Magazine │April 2017

Entrepreneurs are good at identifying commercial opportunities and getting new products and services off the ground, even when they don't control the people and resources needed to do it. They know how to attract talent to help them when their idea is unproven, borrow resources they can't afford to buy, and build buyers' interest in their activity. Others may see them as risk takers, but good entrepreneurs are actually good at getting other folks to take risks. You need some people like this in your family company and in your family.

family unity. But investing in family entrepreneurs can also keep talented members contributing to the broader family's wealth and mission. (The new millennial generation—ages 15 to 30—seems especially interested in being entrepreneurs.)

Investing in family entrepreneurs has to be done objectively

based on the feasibility of their business plans, and also fairly within the family. Even if some entrepreneurial projects don't succeed, these investments will help you spot talent to keep your business growing. And you are sending an important message: this family is committed to creating value.

THE FAMILY REASONS We've spent a lot of time studying why some families stay financially successful over generations and others don't. (Actually, most don't.)

There are three reasons why families succeed.

First, successful families see important changes in their industry and adapt by diversifying into new activities that can grow. Simply put, successful families are entrepreneurial.

Second, families succeed because they invest in productive activities (including the development of the next generation), emphasize growing assets, and consume relatively little of their wealth. These families maintain a culture that encourages family members to create things of lasting value. It's not surprising that these families encourage entrepreneurs.

Third, successful families remain reasonably united, keeping supportive members loyal to one another and to the family's mission.

Over generations, as families become more diverse, it is likely that only a few relatives per generation will directly work in the business. Outside-thebusiness members might still support family philanthropic efforts or social activities, and sometimes that level of involvement is enough to maintain April 2017 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 13

Welcome to T

"I made many friends at my first SIE show and know how important networking is to a favorable business environment."

RON TAYLOR CUBELET ICE

he Taylor family has been making things for a long time.

The founders, Miller and Lucille Taylor and the parent company, Taylor Manufacturing, Inc., have been around for over 80 years.

In southeastern North Carolina, where tobacco was king for a long time, the family farmed and invented equipment used in the tobacco industry. Now, with the fourth generation working in the family businesses, they have had to diversify because of the demise of the federal tobacco program.

Ron Taylor, president of the Taylor companies, says his goal has been for many years to “fill cash flow gaps.” They diversified in the 70’s by adding the manufacturing of the popular Taylor Waterstove, an outside wood fired hot water furnace system that heats your home or buildings and domestic hot water. Later came peanut and cotton equipment and other farm related implements. When the Henry O Boat company came up for sale, they bought it and began manufacturing boats while servicing boat dealers

from Maine to Galveston, Texas.

The offshore fishing boat, with a market in the southeastern United States, complimented the Taylor Waterstove dealers that were primarily in the northern states. Again, having cash flow year round was the main objective.

A satisfied farm customer from Georgia came to Taylor Manufacturing because of its reputation of building and servicing equipment and asked the company to build a mini ice plant. It looked like a good fit for Taylor Manufacturing.

This project did not work out as anticipated, but it put the Taylors in the ice business. They built an ice vendor by using their existing tobacco barn design and began making ice at the home facility. The goal the entire time was to sell equipment that Taylor Manufacturing could build. They had people fly into Elizabethtown, N.C. from all over excited about this ice vending machine. Ron thought they could sell one to other ice manufacturers at least for their home locations for convenience April 2017 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 15

"Customers continuously asking for grape jelly made locally with our grapes forced us to get into the food processing business, and why not, I asked?"

to a local clientele. “The big ice industry wanted to kill me,” Taylor said. About the same time, the Georgia guy’s invention, Twice The Ice, became popular and created quite a stir in the ice industry.

Taylor continued to build the Taylor Ice Vendor and put them in good locations within a reasonable distance from the home office. Now after just a few years, “the mini ice plant phenomenon has about played out in my opinion,” says Taylor. “They are too mechanically challenged, expensive and inefficient to be profitable.” As the ice vendor business grew and the Taylors continued to look for equipment to build, they planted muscadine grapes on the former tobacco farm to do research and development of equipment for the viticulture industry. They now produce the Taylor Grape Harvester and Taylor Grape Pruner. So, what do they do with all those grapes? Bladen County, N.C. is a DRY county but they have managed to sell wine on the family farm. Lu Mil Vineyard & Winery (www.lumilvineyard.com), named in honor of Lucille & Miller Taylor is “the most beautiful place this side of heaven,” says Taylor. Agritourism at its finest as Bladen County’s largest event center, Gift Shop, Tasting Bar and Vineyard Cabins is the place you want to be seen.

Taylor said, “Customers continuously asking for grape jelly made locally with our grapes forced us to get into the food processing business, and why not, I asked?” The expensive ammonia refrigeration equipment was under used when a good food processing plant needed it the most. Again, cash flow! Making efficient use of resources is where Taylor saw another opportunity and now D’Vine Foods’ (www.dvinefoods.com) large stainless steel tanks are kept cool during the winter after the rush of ice season.

They copack to the customers' recipes, process value added services for the farmers and sell to the wholesale market. “Locally sourced fruits and vegetables with a four color custom label on

every jar and bottle makes our products second-to-none,” says Taylor.

While spending time at Holden Beach, N.C. selling Henry O Boats, Taylor became friends with Lyn Holden, owner of Cubelet Ice Company. When Holden was ready to sell, Taylor struck up a deal and this put the Taylors in the ice merchandiser business. Taylor is aggressive and admits to being from the “school of hard knocks” and is accustomed to the dog-eat-dog business environment of today’s world. “I like it!” he says. With the Raesco 100 Series Palletizer, Hamer 525 form, fill & seal machine and a 40 Ton Turbo ice maker in line with the other equipment, plus a new crop of young people involved, the Taylors are in the ice business to stay.

CALENDAR IN MEMORIAM

Modern Ice's Howat Remembers Mother Lorraine Hageman Lorraine F. Hageman of St. Louis, Mo., mother of Tom Howat (Modern Ice), passed away on Saturday, March 12, 2017 at the age of 92. Loving mother of Tom (Sue) Howat, Jeff Howat, Joanne (Thomas) Noble; cherished grandmother of Jason, Matthew, Jared and Mallory and great-grandmother of four.

Lorraine was preceded in death by her husband Russell Eickhoff, her son David Arnold Howat, her parents Frank and Marie Roth and her siblings, Kenneth, Anita, Donald, Frank and Robert.

Lorraine was a long time member of St. Paul's Evangelical Church, an officer of the Golden club, a member of the American Legion Post 338 and an Oasis Tutor Services. Of his mother, Tom writes: Those of you who met her when she came to the convention in Jefferson City (as a surprise on my 60th birthday) might remember her as a sweet little old lady, and she was - all five foot nothing of her. She lived in St. Louis all her life and her life was relatively simple except for: She spent time in WWII as a Navy Wave working on aircraft carriers when they were in port

in Galveston. She mustered out as an aviation machinist mate 3rd class and went to work for McDonnell Douglas building helicopters. She quit working when my older brother was born and stayed home until we were in school when she went to work for Monsanto in the cafeteria so she would be home when we got out of school.

She worked a few other jobs in her life but didn't really come

into her own until she was a retired widow and she discovered volunteer work.

For the last 30 plus years she was an active member of American Legion Post 338, an officer in the Golden Club. She served as a volunteer at the St. Ann Community Center and at the Humane Society, was an Oasis Tutor for kids with reading problems and was also active in her church.
