Cover Story Art Sobczak
COLD calls that generate
HOT results!
A few months back I asked for examples of what you do to get through to decision makers. We got some great ideas and best practices and compiled many of those into a free ebook. Not to be overlooked is how to continue building and strengthening our relationships with customers. After all, our best and cheapest source of new business is from our customer base. And you can bet that your competitors are trying to romance them. If the extent of your relationship with them is solely handling orders and transactions, they will eventually wander elsewhere if they see a better deal. Don’t let that happen. What your customers can’t get elsewhere is YOU. Businesses don’t buy from businesses. People buy from people. Go out of your way to do the little things that form a personal connection that is unique to you. Kim Andersen, a sales manager, asked for ideas from her group about what they do to keep customers happy and strengthen relationships. Here are some of the ideas from her reps. • Send out magazine subscriptions pertaining to a customer’s favorite hobby. For $15.00 my name rings in that customers head every month when he receives that magazine. • Give away books to customers. I remember getting a great book on management from a placement service I once used in my inside sales manager days. It was titled Managing to Have Fun. To this day I remember who I got that book from.
• A smokin’ idea. In the lobby of one of my customers I saw a Thompson Cigar catalogue with the owner’s name as the addressee. Since he was a very busy man and never seemed to have time to see me, I needed a way to get his attention. Since there were several issues of that catalogue lying there, I felt they would not miss one. I called Thompson Cigar Company and gave them his ID code on the back of the magazine. They were able to tell me exactly what brand he had ordered regularly. I sent him a box of his favorite cigars that Christmas. From that point forward he thought I was the most resourceful salesperson around. • Memberships are remembered. In my territory, fishing, hunting and the shooting sports are very big. I recently sponsored a customer into a “fish and game” club that I belong to. The customer also enrolled his son. They will spend hundreds of hours together doing what they love—and our company will be remembered for it. • Focus on spouses. For example, Joe customer is a sports fan and rarely takes his wife out. Joe’s wife enjoys Broadway shows and fine dinners, not ballpark hot dogs. At the beginning of the local theater season I gave Joe a copy of the theater show schedule and asked him to pick out a show that he and his wife would enjoy. Dinner at a nice restaurant and a great Broadway show, Joe’s wife was in heaven. Keep in mind, if Joe’s wife is not happy, Joe is not happy. It also gives me more opportunity to get close to Joe and see what makes him tick. Copyright Ingram Image Ltd.

Cover Story Often a customer does not let his guard down in his office but might relax in a more casual situation. • Don’t forget the kids. Finding out what your customer’s kids enjoy also can pay relationship dividends. Whether it is sports, fishing, music, and figure out a way to impact the relationship between your customer and his kids. One of my customers had a child over five years ago, when the child was born I bought a US savings bond in the name of the child. Guess what, that customer is still a customer.
• Send an anniversary card. Send it one year after they have placed their first order. This works well if the relationship has developed over the year. It forces them to think back and usually be surprised how far things have come in just one years’ time, and remember all you have done. It’s also a reminder that you still value their business and that you haven’t forgotten how it used to be. It shows you don’t take their business for granted. • Sell healthy. When calling, if they had a bad cold, or I could tell they were sick, I would send a can of chicken noodle soup and/or roll of vitamin C tablets. Enclosed a note saying “Always looking for ways to make things better for you.”
Customize & Organize
• Send “Thank You” notes! For first orders, large orders, unusual orders, for tours on plant visits, or time spent during a meeting. They are very quick and easy to do, but gets your name in front of them again, associated with a nice sentiment. Be sure to be sincere! Fake or form written thank you’s can cause opposite reactions. The key to relationship building is to find out what your customer and his/her family is passionate about. Then make an impact and be thoughtful. What do you do to add a personal touch with customers?

Aftermarket John R. Walker
Times are tough and they may get tougher! My name is John Walker and I am the eternal optimist. Right now times are starting to get tough and quite probably this business trend will continue to get even tougher, but all the old-timers, such as myself, realize it is only a matter of time until the market reverses itself. I was born smack-dab in the middle of The Big One and I have survived by my count, 12 business cycles, with the 13th coming up. Along with being an optimist I am bullish on the equipment dealer’s aftermarket or product support. Times like these provide the equipment dealer the opportunity to survive and prosper in economic and downturn markets, now and in the future. During my junior and senior years of college, I took a course in economics entitled: Economics & Communism. Two of the courses’ reading assignments were Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital. I vividly recall reading his comments concerning capitalism’s containing the seeds of its own destruction. What Marx (I believe) was referring to was the business cycles that are common in a capitalist society. Where he misses the mark (I believe) was that he felt these cycles would continue to increase in severity until the economy failed and capitalism was destroyed. Marx wrote this in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but it was communism that failed and not capitalism, the walls came down in Germany and communism failed dramatically in Venezuela and Cuba.
Marx was wrong but he was also (I believe) partially correct. A capitalist society does have cycles. These cycles fluctuate between various industries, but are easily predictable. I know a president of a large lift truck dealership who, early on, developed his sterling reputation by predicting lift truck market cycles and he today readily admits that this is not rocket-science. Shortly after finishing my military service I took a job selling farm equipment. It didn’t take long to discover that every five to six years the markets would drop off a high. After a year or a year and a half, they would pop-up again. Most all business are cyclical and if you don’t believe me check out your own financial statements; pull five-years, 10-years, 15-years or more and see if you can find the cycles in your own business. This is my point: As long as we are in business we are going to face market cycles that turn down. That’s the bad news. The good news is that somehow we always come out of these downturn markets. The question is: When will we learn? Despite the fact that we know that slowdowns are eminent, we continue to produce like there is no tomorrow. A recent speaker announced to his audience that there was enough construction and farm equipment out there (in the show rooms & used lots) that manufacturers could go 18 months without producing a piece of equipment for dealers to sell.

Aftermarket The same holds true in other industries. We have seen what we will call overstock in almost all those manufacturers who distribute through a dealer organization. Suppliers continue to seek more sales of their equipment and increased market share no matter what is transpiring within their market places. We continue to ring our hands and cry that the sky is falling. Like so many times in the past we were told to tighten our belts, cut back on expenses and personnel. This of course makes some sense, but where do we cut? We have a whole lot of equipment in stock and we need sales people to sell it, so we don’t cut there. Maybe we can lay off a few techicians, even though we know it will be hard to hire them back after the market turns upward, so we lay off a couple of counter personnel because that business is guaranteed, or so we think. With the exception of those dealers who learned during the last down turn that the aftermarket is not the area in which to cut back, all too many personnel hits come in the area of the aftermarket. We have discovered this same situation is true at the manufacturing level and the sacrificing of highly trained and experienced personnel is achieved by the offering of early retirement. These solutions will hit hard in a year or two when the manufacturers will question why they left such experienced personnel leave. For those of you dealers who have read our articles for the past four to five years it is not too late to change and survive. Look to your product support sales and profitability to help you through your tough time. How many of you have told yourselves at some point that now is the time to focus upon what I have
long called the equipment dealer’s unknown opportunity? How many of you have done this several times only to tell yourself you didn’t have the time or personnel to get around to it, and let the opportunity pass you by? We’ve experienced many dealers who have taken the challenge, they checked their records to discover those customers who operate the equipment they bought from your dealership, they have checked and discovered which of these dealers are not using the dealership’s product support, they have sold that customer on coming back home to purchase the dealership’s quality service and parts availability. These dealerships have asked for and received this lost business and have experienced the tremendous profits afforded by increased sales of parts, service and rental. These dealers and several of the smarter manufacturers now have a greater understanding of the importance of the aftermarket and how value-added selling of the dealers’ aftermarket can increase market share of their product and overall profitability of the dealership. Fortunately (although it has taken years) a whole lot of equipment dealers and yes, some manufacturers are showing a tremendous amount of renewed interest in 100%+ Absorption Rate! This means a financially healthy dealer and a dealer who can survive and weather market turndowns. Yes, market share is important. It has always been a chicken and egg scenario. You can’t sell parts and service unless you have sales of complete goods. However, too many forget that if they don’t sell the value-added concept of excellent parts availability and top service response,

Aftermarket then the dealership is basically selling a commodity. When this happens price becomes the issue and the dealer makes little profit on the sale, and dealers and manufacturers both suffer. Strong development of an equipment dealership’s selffeeding profit spiral is beneficial to both the dealer and the manufacturer. A strong and profitable chain of distribution for any manufacturer benefits the manufacturer greatly when seeking new or replacement distribution. It provides the dealer a strong financial statement when he desires to sell and/or retire. The selffeeding profit spiral develops strong customer satisfaction and customer retention through customer loyalty, something which has been missing for years, which in the long run increases that all important market share that all manufacturers covet and we see this as a win-win situation for both dealers and manufacturers. Hey, dealers, we know it is tough out there and that it well might be that it will get even tougher in the next couple of months. We are out there too, but keep a positive attitude and a smile on your face and get around to it and you will be amazed at how much that helps you get through your day. Focus upon what you must focus upon and that focus will make you profitable. I quote Herb Kelleher, one of the founders of Southwest Airlines, a highly profitable airline, a no-frills airline, which practices both value selling and customer satisfaction: “Market share has nothing to do with profitability. Market share says we just want to be big and we don’t care whether we make money doing it.”

Bottom Line Garry Bartecki
Service sells Times change and at a very rapid rate as you know these days. Business, health, career and all other aspects of life keep changing because of globalization of the business world, technology and health care advances. As a result of these rapid changes customers or contacts keep having to adjust their approach to issues and responses to deal with problems. In short, things are changing so fast that a lot of folks don’t really understand what is happening any longer and really appreciate all the help and understanding they can get. That being said, and keeping in mind the scenario laid out above, I have to believe that customers place a premium on above average service or at least a service level that helps them understand the transactions they are involved in. I know I pay for that level of service and bet you do to, when you can get it. When it comes to business we often hear about offering superior service. But saying you have it and actually delivering this level of service are two different things. And even if you do feel you offer superior service, how do you know you do unless you check if your customer’s assessment of your service is the same as yours? As they often say at the management seminars, “Don’t expect what you don’t inspect.” I don’t currently run a store like you do but I do enter into a lot of transactions and, as a result, some drive me nuts while others leave me without any negative feelings, which is a good thing. If I have to prioritize customer service on a general level, I would say: • Make communication easy. • Use proper consistent language when discussing transactions. • Prepare clear bid and or invoicing documents. • Deliver what you promise or at least call to say you are not. • Follow up as necessary. • Educate your customers. • Provide cost effective products or services. • Offer state-of-the-art service levels. It is amazing how firms do a terrible business just answering the telephone....or have a phone system in place that is just a pain in the butt to deal with. Don’t believe me? Then try and call in to your place of business regarding a sale of equipment, a part sale, a service call or a rental call. If you get through within 30 seconds give yourself a passing grade. On the other hand, if you had to talk to two or more people before you arrived at the department you were calling for - you fail. The same goes for phone systems where each department has a direct line but apparently no humans to answer the phones. And even if they have voice mail you don’t hear from them for a few days. If I wind up on the “wait list” I prefer and appreciate the voice that says you can leave a number and you will be contacted in the order the calls were received. Those return calls usually are returned within 1.5 hours and in many cases they estimate how much time it will take to call you back.
Customers also want to know what they are paying for, not only for their own knowledge but also to explain to a superior or the AP department when it comes time to paying the invoice. How do your bid docs look? Are they dummied down enough so they are easily understood with calculations that make sense without a lot of punching your phone calculator? If not, you have a customer service problem. I attended an AED service seminar one day and the speaker suggested a very detailed bid doc with any estimated cost for each segment of the work. I liked what I saw and after he explained why he does it, I liked it even better. He breaks it out so that if there is a dispute both sides know what they are talking about in dollar terms for that segment of the work. It turns out that an adjustment of one segment of the invoice is always a LOT smaller than a 20% adjustment of the entire invoice which people seem to do to start out with. A 20% price reduction is about half of your overall GP on the invoice which when compared to a 20% adjustment on 20% of the invoice producing a much better result for the dealer. I would also suggest tracking equipment to follow service techs on their routes. Also mobile billing options to get customers to agree on an invoice when the tech is present in case questions come up. There is a real opportunity now to educate customers about telematics and what information they provide in terms of operating and ownership costs. If you don’t do it your competitors will and in the process take your business away. When we get right down to it every contact with a customer is an opportunity to offer superior service. How are you doing in this regard? If you need to find out then have some secret shoppers call your place of business and then report on their experience. It is also important to know that this is an EDUCATIONAL PROCESS that allows you educate your staff and employees. None of your employees intentionally upset customers and probably would welcome the opportunity to learn how to do their job better. Garry Bartecki is a CPA MBA with GB Financial Services LLC.

Lilly Ledbetter to address women in transportation
Equipment Leasing and Finance Industry confidence eases in January
Lilly Ledbetter, the Women’s Equality Activist responsible for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, has been confirmed as the keynote speaker for the 2016 annual conference of WTS International, the association for the professional advancement of women in transportation. “Every year as we plan for Lilly Ledbetter the WTS Annual Conference, we seek to partner with an individual that resonates with our mission. Ms. Ledbetter exemplifies our association’s guiding principles of diversity, inclusion, and commitment to ethical leadership, integrity, and respect for all,” said Marcia Ferranto, WTS CEO and President. “We take pride in knowing that we are helping to build the world’s infrastructure and shaping future generations of transportation leaders. Working toward equality in the transportation workforce is what drives our members—Lilly Ledbetter will certainly propel them even further as she addresses them this May in Austin.” www.wtsinternational.org
The Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation (the Foundation) released the January 2016 Monthly Confidence Index for the Equipment Finance Industry (MCI-EFI). Designed to collect leadership data, the index reports a qualitative assessment of both the prevailing business conditions and expectations for the future as reported by key executives from the $1 trillion equipment finance sector. Overall, confidence in the equipment finance market is 54.0, easing from the December index of 60.2. When asked about the outlook for the future, MCI-EFI survey respondent Harry Kaplun, President, Specialty Finance, Frost Bank, said, “The equipment finance business is very industry diverse. This diversity allows directional changes to the current growth sectors while still maintaining a presence in less robust sectors. Being nimble and adaptive continue to be key skills for success.” www.elfaonline.org

Orders improve, but manufacturing’s outlook remains subdued Manufacturing Technology Order Values Increase, but Unit Sales Decline The U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders report (USMTO) showed that order values grew 2.2% in November 2015 compared to the previous month, according to AMTThe Association For Manufacturing Technology. Year-to-date orders were down 17.2% compared to the same point in 2014. While total order value saw a monthly gain, the number of units sold dropped 16.31%. This data suggest that manufacturers are increasing their use of automated equipment to add productivity and lower costs, rather than expanding their operations and capacity. “A significant portion of global manufacturing is experiencing slower growth, especially China, and we continue to struggle with the impacts of a stronger dollar,” said AMT President Douglas K. Woods. “Investing in productivity and automation technologies is one way that manufacturers look to stay competitive in a softer market, especially as pricing moderates for finished manufactured goods.” www.usmto.com

Human Element Caliper Corp.
Your job is kryptonite, Supergirl All that power, and they can’t even stand up to their bosses. It must run in the El family. On CBS’s new hit show, Supergirl, the titular character’s earthy alter ego, Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist), has followed in her Kryptonian cousin Superman’s red-booted footsteps and taken a job at a news corporation. And just as Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman has to contend with a cranky, demanding boss at the Daily Planet, Zor-El/Kara/Supergirl is subjected to the megalomaniacal whims of CatCo Worldwide Media’s CEO and founder Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart). As Cat’s personal assistant, Kara spends most of her day going on coffee runs, delivering messages and files, and being berated and threatened with termination by her boss. Cat can’t even be bothered to learn Kara’s name, calling her “Kira,” and she mocks Kara’s suggestion that Supergirl should be referred to as “Superwoman.” To be fair, Cat doesn’t seem to mind Kara mysteriously going on lunch break every time a skyscraper catches fire or a new supervillain starts wreaking havoc in National City. But otherwise she’s a wholly unpleasant character who treats her staff like Cruella de Vil treats Dalmatian puppies. General Zod should take notes. Action and fantasy TV shows and movies often feature a secondary villain whose purpose is to thwart the protagonist’s
attempts at defeating the main villain or, more broadly, to prevent the protagonist from realizing her own potential. Oddly, despite being a superhero herself, Kara does not recognize Cat Grant as the secondary villain of Supergirl. About every third episode, Cat experiences a moment of humanity and starts to feel bad for the way she treats people, but Kara is right there to talk her out of it. “Ms. Grant,” she says, “don’t you realize how much you inspire me and make me want to do better?” Sorry, Supergirl, but someone who treats you like garbage and criticizes you no matter what you do is not a good leader. A good leader balances thoughtfulness with decisiveness, and she makes expectations clear and provides guidance while empowering people to take ownership of their work. And she learns her personal assistant’s name. It’s understandable that Kara wants to maintain a dual identity (not really; why do superheroes do that again?), but, supergirlfriend, you gotta get out of that toxic environment. Try something new. You’d make an awesome EMT or firefighter. If you prefer to avoid exploiting your powers so blatantly, how about construction worker? FEMA disaster-site coordinator? Circus acrobat? The best way to succeed is on your own terms. Not all of us are cut out to be great managers or top salespeople. Not that many

Blue Ocean Robotics announces second wave in US expansion strategy Blue Ocean Robotics publicly announced the launch of the second wave in its US market strategy. It involves opening up several new franchise-like subsidiaries in the coming year and a quest to find US franchise-partners with the right entrepreneurial mindset and competences. “In the first wave Blue Ocean Robotics established a subsidiary in Cincinnati, Ohio, headed by Co-founder, Partner and CEO Tim DeRosett. With that we began exploring and exploiting the opportunities for both selling robots to various markets in the US and also initiating design and developments of new novel robots. Based on the experience and lessons learned we now initiate a recruitment process to find the right partners for starting up several new Blue Ocean Robotics subsidiaries in the US, which is then the second wave in our US strategy,” says Claus Risager, Rune K. Larsen and John Erland Ostergaard, co-founders and partners of Blue Ocean Robotics. “With our understanding of the US market and given the mission and business model of Blue Ocean Robotics, there is a need for several subsidiaries in the US to cover the market on geography, branches, and sales versus product development.” www.blue-ocean-robotics.com

The appointment follows the recently announced retirement of Denise Johnson Group President Ed Rapp. “Denise leads one of the largest and most complex businesses in the company; her division makes products primarily for the mining, waste and construction industries and employs about 8,000 people in 14 locations spanning four continents.

Forty looks attractive Celebrating four decades of magnetic innovations and growth for Master Magnetics When Jack Nellessen opened the doors of Master Magnetics in the small town of Castle Rock, Colo. in 1976, the new company operated in a 4,000 square-foot manufacturing facility that made $76,000. It was an impressive start. An inventor at heart, Nellessen started Master Magnetics with a magnetic tool holder of his creation – the AM1 and the AM2. This handy and useful tool holder proved to be a popular item and manufacturing took off. With more than 2 million tool holders sold over four decades, chances are you’ve seen one or maybe even have one. It was the product that launched a thriving enterprise spanning four decades. Forty years later, Master Magnetics operates three locations of manufacturing, distribution and sales totaling 109,350 squarefeet in two states. While Nellessen no longer runs day-to-day operations of MMI, his daughter, Jennifer Brown, continues to grow their magnet business as vice president of Master Magnetics.
Family affair Master Magnetics has always been a family business. In 1976, Nellessen, his wife Sandy and her sister Sue were among the handful of employees. Today, in addition to Brown running the day-to-day operations at Master Magnetics, her brother John

Product lines In 40 years product lines have evolved in response to changing markets. While many of the products first sold in the early years are still popular, including tool holders, fishing magnets, magnetic grates and sweepers, new channels of business continue to present growing opportunities. Once popular craft, toy and education lines have been surpassed by the growing demand of more industrial and hardware-based lines. Customers range from large international resellers like Amazon, Home Depot, Ace Hardware and True Value to manufacturers looking for OEM parts, to MRO managers, facility managers and homeowners looking for an endless source of magnetic solutions. With an exclusive focus on magnets, listening to their customers and developing products that are innovative and useful, as well as designing custom applications, are the primary reasons for their success.

Nellessen, Jr. operates an exclusive distributorship for Master Magnetics in California and Cathy Wachtel, a cousin, operates another exclusive distributorship in Florida. But in addition to family, the longevity of employees, with a majority length of service ranging between 10 – 15 years, speaks to the family atmosphere Master Magnetics maintains.

Manual palletizer automatically raises and lowers loads Presto Lifts P3 All-Around Spring Level Loader improves the efficiency of pallet loading and unloading operation. A system of heavy-duty springs automatically lower or raise a pallet as weight is added or removed. By doing so, the P3 Spring Level Loader maintains the top layer of boxes at an easy to access position. A turntable ring on top of the unit allows the user to rotate the load so he or she can remain in the same position throughout the loading or unloading process eliminating the need to walk around the pallet. A compact base design allows workers unobstructed access to loads. All of the P3 Spring components fit within the diameter of the turntable ring, so the worker can stand up close to the unit at any position around the ring. The economical unit requires no power and is virtually maintenance-free. Fork pockets at the base allow for easy relocation. www.prestolifts.com

Rhino Rubber introduces line of Press-On tires
Every three days, someone in the United States is killed in a forklift-related accident, and nearly 80 percent of forklift accidents involve a pedestrian. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), approximately 70 percent of all accidents reported could have been avoided with proper safety precautions. Despite the fact that employers and industry are well aware of the dangers associated with forklift operations, many businesses fail to take appropriate measures to prevent such costly misfortunes. Tackling these disturbing statistics head-on, Keytroller, a designer, manufacturer and supplier of electronic safety and weighing devices, has unveiled its latest innovation, the FOREWARNER. When mounted to a forklift or other moving vehicle, the FOREWARNER projects a solid blue or red tightly focused spot on the floor, behind or in front (or both) of the vehicle. www.keytroller.com

Valspar introduces Lifeshield industrial flooring coatings
Wastequip debuts new model in precision series compactor line
Valspar Wood coatings, manufacturer of coatings for prefinished flooring, siding, moulding, kitchen cabinets, furniture and other building products, has introduced a new family of coatings – Lifeshield™ – for North America industrial flooring manufacturers. Lifeshield™ provides best-in-class durability, scuff and scratch resistance, and moisture protection, while providing outstanding clarity and appearance. As with all Valspar industrial flooring coatings, the system is designed with industrial operations in mind to ensure maximum efficiency and usability for manufacturers. “When we talked to flooring manufacturers, they told us that they really wanted to see a clear connection between coating system technical attributes and what their end customers want in terms of performance,” said Craig Lyerly, business segment /marketing manager for Valspar Wood coatings. “With Lifeshield™, we developed a family of coatings with that end customer in mind, supported by extensive testing and benchmarking. So it’s really a win-win, both for the homeowner and the manufacturer.” www.valspar.com

All Precision Series compactors feature Wastequip’s easy-to-use, 24-volt Guardian Control System™ with Automatic Maintenance Scheduling (AMS). Like the 265XP and 265IP models before it, Wastequip’s state-ofthe-art 245IP Precision Series Compactor is packed with advanced features. www.wastequip.com
