Aftermarket Dave Baiocchi
Those that fail to plan...plan to fail! Back in March, I wrote a column on measurements, and we discussed how important they were especially when treading through difficult times. My April column talked about building the foundation of proper forecasting using a SWOT analysis. This month it’s time to finally set those goals, with a system that includes a specific strategy of how those goals can be accomplished. Using a three-step process to chart the course, can provide answers to the three questions that all of your managers and your employees instinctively want to know: 3 Where are we? (Addressed) 3 Where are we going? (Addressed - SWOT) 3 How are we going to get there? (Action plans and initiatives) Goal setting and action plans: I have observed this process in several dealerships including my own. What I find most often is that without a specific and robust SWOT analysis (discussed last month), the process tends to rely on assuming growth of historical data in revenues, expenses and profitability. I call it the old 5% rule. Take last year’s figures and add 5%. This becomes a habit, and in the final analysis, a useless exercise. Starting with a well-reasoned SWOT analysis will provide a pretty good idea, (or at least an educated guess), as to what the market will hold, and where you can apply your resources and talent. Properly analyzing your opportunities will lead you away from the 5% rule, and toward forecasting based on the activities that are consistent with your SWOT opportunities. Back in 1990, I was hired as a new sales manager. I started on January 2nd, and one of my first tasks was to develop a sales forecast for the New Year. Our company president scheduled meetings with all of the salespeople to discuss their forecast. I was not really prepared for what happened next. Salespeople would come in, and we would have a cursory discussion about the customer activity over the past 12 months, and who they thought they might be targeting for the ensuing year. Then the boss asked a single question: “So Bob, how many units are you going to sell this year?” Bob looked at the boss and replied “50?” The boss questioned “50?” Bob replied “OK….60?” On it went…..salesperson after salesperson, trying to tell the boss what he wanted to hear. After meeting with all of them, the boss asked me what I thought of the forecasting sessions. Being a new sales manager, I had to choose my words carefully, but I had to convey the idea that the process was pretty close to a complete waste of time. The salespeople really had no idea about how they were going to produce the results that the boss shamed them into committing to. We had a long discussion about this process, and in the final analysis I shared that when planning and forecasting with salespeople, the focus of the conversation should never 12

start with how many units they were going to sell, or even how much sales revenue they would generate. The most productive way will always start with a discussion about how much money they wanted to make. Commissions are the chief motivational tool in the engagement of salespeople. Once we established what kind of annual income they wanted to forecast, they were fully involved in the process of “working the math backwards” to establish how many machines, or service dollars had to be generated to meet that objective. Using an income driven matrix is the start of having a productive discussion with salespeople about their sales mix, the effect of profit margins on their goals, and most importantly what the corporate SWOT analysis uncovered about the areas the dealership wants to focus on, and invest in. It is my considered opinion that every salesperson should submit their own SWOT analysis for their territory. This helps to focus the discussion on individual action plans, campaigns and initiatives. Use your historical sales only to help you chart quarterly sales trending so that you can break up that annual sales figure into manageable quarterly pieces. Once quarterly targets are in place, simply divide all quarterly goals into 13 equal pieces. Why? Because there are 13 weeks in every quarter! Nobody can reasonably predict what will happen over an entire year. They can however wrap their brain around a plan that charts out the next 13 weeks. I created a proprietary Excel based matrix that I use in my training sessions to allow salespeople to custom design their forecasting plan. All of the goals on the sheet are driven by a few simple entries. For machines sales 1.) Annual income goal 2.) Percentage of new vs used equipment 3.) Percentage of total annual sales by quarter (four quarters must equal 100%) 4.) Percentage of total annual sales by product type 5.) Estimated average profit margin 6.) Estimated spiffs and bonuses For aftermarket 1.) Annual income goal 2.) Percentage of parts and service vs allied sales 3.) Percentage of total annual sales by quarter (four quarters must equal 100%) 4.) Percentage of total annual sales by product type (PM, contract maintenance, P/S revenue) 5.) Estimated average profit margin 6.) Estimated spiffs and bonuses All of these parameters could be adjusted by the salesperson to meet their individual action plan.

Aftermarket On top of the compensation based forecast, I also advise adding a target account selection process. This process should include a quarterly contact calendar that provides target contact planning on a quarter-by-quarter basis. The sales managers have to enforce this activity. If you are rigorous about salespeople posting weekly itineraries, and reviewing weekly progress and forward planning, you will find that most of the salespeople will meet or exceed their goals. First however, they have to set those goals, and do so in a way where they are personally connected to them. The final step is constraining the salespeople to chart their progress. The 13-week matrix is the tool that I use to have them do this. There is no more powerful tool for your people than for them to know where they stand, and whether they are ahead of the curve‌.or behind it. Once all of this is done, it is very important for service managers to do some calculations to make sure that they have the resources (especially manpower) in place to support the business plan. If the forecasts determine that the target is a $225,000 increase in annual retail service revenue, then the department has to either have the billable hourly capacity available to absorb that increase, or they have to add personnel. Resource planning is necessary, and understanding the component pieces that lead us to these decisions is important. Successful service departments use math to make these decisions, not gut feelings or historical precedent. The components of the equation include the following: 1.) Determining your total available hours per technician. These are hours that are available for customer billing. After accounting for vacations, sick time, holidays and training, there are a total of between 1850 -1880 actual billing hours in a year per full time technician. 2.) Determining your effective billing rate. This is not your published rate! This is your actual average retail billing rate including PM’s, discounted rates, internal billing (rental and sales dept.) and travel time. Think of it as total revenues divided by total hours billed. 3.) Determining billing efficiency. This is the calculation that compares hours billed, to hours paid. It’s not reasonable to expect that we can have 100% billing efficiency. There will always be time that must be paid, that cannot be ascribed to customer work. This unbilled time is usually reflected as a direct expense. This can include shop cleaning, truck washing, building maintenance, yard duties, gratis and policy adjustment. 4.) Determine your forecast confidence. This is a mechanism for the service manager to exercise discretion and input into the resource planning process. I like to think that every income-based forecast has a 100% probability of success. Not every service manager will agree, so I allow a subjective percentage to be applied to the process in order to account for any uncertainty that may exist. Remember that this number may be lower or higher than 100%. 14

Aftermarket Using these four parameters, we can now do some math that will lead us to a fact-based decision about manpower. • Forecast: Increase of $225,000 in total annual retail service revenues. • Forecast confidence: 90% • Effective billing rate: $100 • Billing efficiency: 92% • Total annual available hours per technician: 1850 • $225,000 x 90% = $202,500 net forecast increase in retail revenues • $202,500 divided by $100 effective billing rate = 2025 hours • 2025 hours x 92% billing efficiency = 1863 hours • 1863 hours divided by total available hours of 1850 = 1.007 • Men needed = 1 The obvious question is what to do when this number is only 0.5? This is where you have to produce an increase in your billing efficiency, or a judicious use of overtime to even the scales. If you need half a technician, but your efficiency rate is only 78%, then you need to use the available billing capacity already in place, before adding additional staff.

Bottom Line Garry Bartecki
Huddle up for ROI I don’t know about you but I believe that every issue of MHW supplies dealers with a substantial amount of “profit or ROI enhancing ideas” each and every month. I would hope that you take the time to read and pass around the monthly columns supplied by David Baiocchi, Yours Truly, Art Sobzcak, Eileen Schmidt and other freelance writers that provide industry specific content. For example, in the February 2017 issue Mary Glindinning’s contribution about how technology is developing to streamline warehouses indicates what is coming down the pike in short order. Self-driving vehicle technology (in lift trucks) will become a necessity for customers looking to do more with less, capture data to better manage their warehouse operation, create a safer work environment and of course increase ROI. As indicated in Mary’s article implementing OTTO provides a return on investment that covers the cost in integrating the system in a 12-18 month timeframe, which is very cost effective. Think about this for one minute. How will this one change or impact your business? I can think of at least fourfive issues that will take your time and money to properly deal with. How many do you come up with? Like to hear what your list contains. If you get a chance send your list to gbartecki@comcast.net and I will share them with our readers next month. Topics such as how the IoT will impact the material handling business, as indicated in Mary’s article, along with other financial, operations and marketing concepts that work will be the focus of the up and coming MHW Huddle taking place on June 7th in Rolling Meadows, Ill. The program is open for all C-level dealer employees and especially COO’s CFO’s, sales managers and service personnel. There will be meaningful programs for all that attend at a very attractive price compared to other venues. Being 15 minutes from O’Hare makes it even better. From my perspective I ask attendees to send me topics they want covered which can range from dealer valuations, financing, accounting issues they are having with their accountants or banks, cash flow issues, how the IoT will impact cash flow, the new tax rules (which we should have a handle on by then), inter-department issues calculating departmental profits and just about any other topic I have covered in these columns in the past. Get me the question and I will get you some solutions to consider. In terms of specific topics, I will spend some time on the new lease accounting rules because most leases entered into today will fall under the new lease rules coming on board in 2108-19. I am concerned about this because your major, large customers will be the ones affected by the changes and may be looking to you to help them out when it comes to structuring leases that provide more favorable 22

financial results. Getting a handle on this now may help with that process. I am also hoping that by June 7 we will have a list of the likely tax changes you will have to implement so that we can discuss them in terms of 2017 impact as well as years going forward. This is sure to be a complicated topic but we will zero in on what is important in terms of dealer cash flow and customer cash flow as well. I will have my longterm dealer tax expert (Steve Pierson) at my side when we discuss this topic. And, of course, if you have any specific tax issues Steve can address please let me know what they are so I can give him a heads-up on what to prep for. I see that David plans to cover aftermarket issues as well as sales training in this new environment we are entering. Please check the conference details for the specific topics he will cover. And I am sure I can suggest you contact David with topics you would like him to cover. I see that Debbie Frakes of Winsby will be there to inform you about very cost effective methods to market your company, keep customer contact information current, upgrade your goggle scores, and track actual customer activity to assist sales management and sales personnel generate more leads for new business. I have mentioned Winsby before and based on talking to dealers that use their services …it works. All in all, you have to admit that this MHW Huddle program has the ability to help dealers increase sales, lower costs and put more cash in their bank account. It will also inform dealers what steps they will need to take to deal with the industry changes that will surely change customer needs and what they expect from their lift truck provider. So send me your questions or topics for discussion and plan to attend MHW’s Huddle June 7 in Chicago. Looking forward to seeing your there. Garry Bartecki is a CPA MBA with GB Financial Services LLC.

Sales Trends Art Sobzcak
A super-simple way to respond to resistance The simplest techniques can be so effective. I heard a call where a prospect voiced an objection, but seemed a bit shaky in his conviction regarding what he said. The sales rep responded, “What was that again?” The prospect then hemmed and hawwed a bit, continued talking and actually admitted that he probably could go with the caller’s proposal. Brilliant. So what happened here? If you have a strong belief about something, chances are you’re able to explain why, with conviction. On the other hand, if someone says something that is not completely truthful, or something they don’t believe strongly in, they will hesitate, hem and haw or exhibit other nervous behavior when questioned. The same is true if they don’t have reasons for their beliefs. Likewise, some prospects may not be clear in their expression of objections, or they might throw out some objections as stalling techniques. To clarify the situation, ask them to repeat, or explain their statement. For example,
“I’m not sure I fully understood what you just said. Will you please repeat that for me?” “Or, “Pat, I heard what you said, but I’m not following the reasoning. Would you mind explaining it for me?” “I’m not following. Could you explain?” If their objection is truly a legitimate one, their explanation will provide you with information which will help you address it. If, on the other hand, they are just stalling, your question will help to smoke out the real objection. Either way, you win!

Your Business Eileen Schmidt
Andrews & Hamilton’s 30-year history, truly an evolution Andrews & Hamilton began in a small warehouse, selling metal lockers and shelving from Republic Storage Systems. The North Carolina-based business was founded in May of 1987 when Bernie Andrews and his wife Cathy Andrews partnered with Bill Hamilton. Hamilton "passed that year, leaving Bernie and Cathy to manage the business," said Alice Lynch, daughter of Bernie and Cathy Andrews, who has served in several marketing and office roles for the business. Bernie served as president and co-owner Cathy worked in accounting as the material handing business got its start. The move was a natural one for Bernie Andrews, who at that time had a 30-year history in the material handling industry and had recently retired from Republic Storage Systems. Andrews & Hamilton's start coincided with a boom economic period in the Raleigh, North Carolina region. "The area was flourishing with computer industry and pharmaceutical research," Lynch said. "There was tremendous growth among these industries along with the universities, public schools and hospitals surrounding the area." Now in its 30th year, Andrews & Hamilton has built a statewide base of customers in the automotive, aerospace and defense, and energy industries. Other family members have joined in the business in the past three decades. John Andrews, son of Bernie and Cathy, has worked in installation, as a warehouse

manager, and in sales and operations. He is currently head of operations. Son, Jim Andrews, has also worked thirty years in the family business. His roles have been in installation and contract sales. He is serving currently as a contract salesperson. "John and Jim were recruited to help install the products since this seemed to be a big selling point in the area," Lynch said. Lynch has maintained roles in marketing, purchasing, CAD drawings, website maintenance and other office positions in her years with the business. Prior to 2010, Andrews & Hamilton had two warehouse locations - one housing new material and the other holding office space and used materials. But as the Great Recession was ongoing, company leaders saw an opportunity and purchased a used material handling business based in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. The move was a good one. As other distributors in the area downsized, Andrews & Hamilton began growing inventory, according to Lynch. In the combined warehouses, business sales expanded "tremendously," she said. "We were able to combine both locations into our current, more visible location our business really picked up," Lynch said. Today, Andrews & Hamilton is a distributor with about 25 employees between the warehouse and offices. "Our business is small but mighty," Lynch said. "Andrews & Hamilton has been able to develop loyal employees in key office and installation positions." Cathy Andrews retired in 2000. Company president Bernie Andrews now has 60 years of experience in the material handling industry. The business' current 50,000-square-foot warehouse includes, in part, pallet racks, bulk shelving, metal shelving and lockers, giving customers "opportunity to view products allowing Andrews & Hamilton to educate them on different applications," Lynch said. The business also stocks pallet racking from Husky Rack & Wire and wire decking from Nashville Wire. In addition to products, Andrews & Hamilton offers customers: onsite counseling, in-house drawings, stocked material, delivery, assembly and installation. Over Andrews & Hamilton's history, the business region has evolved into a computer software industry and biotech hub. "Same types of companies, different applications," Lynch said. "Our schools, hospitals and universities still continue developing." Business offices in Durham are only a few miles from the original warehouse. A focus on safety permeates, which Lynch said has enabled the company to access more projects. "Safety is a priority we strongly encourage with all our employees," she said. In addition, Andrews & Hamilton's local service and stock of quality material handling products has been "a big key" to the business' success, according to Lynch. "It gave us the advantage our customers wanted," she said. "When other distributors in the area downsized and reduced inventory, we started to grow."

Strategic selling: Security in a business crisis Losing your biggest account. It’s something no organization wants to think about, least of all small companies and start-ups … perhaps to the degree that they literally don’t think about it and are floored when it happens. To vendors that depend on a few key accounts for survival, it seems like a no brainer to say, “Be prepared.” The fact is, though, things happen beyond our control. Our gravy-train account might merge with another organization and decide, as a new entity, to obtain the products and services we provide elsewhere. Or it may undergo a leadership shake-up, after which the new executive group envisions a plan that doesn’t include us. In a utopian world, we would have the time and resources to diversify our revenue streams so we can absorb these market shifts, but realistically, we often lean on too few bread-andbutter accounts to stay above water. One thing we can do today to improve our fortunes in an unpredictable business environment is make sure we have the right type of salespeople on staff to handle whatever comes our way. Organizations that sell B-to-B and still employ transactional cold-callers or account relationship specialists (hunters and farmers, in other words) in 2017 do so at their peril. After losing a major account, they may find themselves in panic mode, scrambling to bail water out of a sinking boat. Lowpercentage, high-volume sales activities like cold-calling aren’t going to bring in timely revenue during a crisis, and pressuring old contacts for referrals without leverage might be even less effective. Fortunately, there are better, newer sales models to tap into besides hunter and farmer, which are seldom adequate in today’s complex sales arena anyway. Perhaps the model that best fits an ever-changing market—one that reduces the likelihood of losing a big account and provides agility and adaptability if it does happen—is the Strategic Sales model. Built from extensive, and current, research into the intrinsic strengths, motivations, and job competencies of top sales performers across multiple industries, the Strategic Sales model describes what we at Caliper refer to as a “knowledge broker.” This is the individual who brings the traditional qualities of relationship building and influential communication to the sales interaction but also displays competencies related to organizational savvy, strategic thinking, and high-level business acumen. In practice, the person whose attributes line up with this model should be able to gain a comprehensive understanding of the client’s industry, integrate herself into the client’s organization as a trusted partner, and bring new ideas that overturn convention. The Strategic Sales model intersects with the issue at hand in three ways: 28

1. If your salesperson is a trusted advisor with strong business savvy who provides meaningful solutions and ROI to her accounts, your company is much less likely to lose that account in the first place. 2. If you are at risk of losing an account thanks to a pending merger or leadership change, champions within your client organization are much more likely to advocate for your strategic salesperson because of the aforementioned benefits she brings. 3. If you do lose the account, your salesperson’s comprehensive understanding of the industry and the organizational challenges it presents to companies will help her bring superior knowledge and presentational strength to efforts around replacing the lost account. Your organization may still struggle for a while, but new revenue sources will emerge more quickly this way than with cold-calling from a transactional salesperson who doesn’t exhibit a meaningful understanding of prospects’ experience. The good news is that such sales people do exist (the smart people in R&D could not have built the model without them), and they can be evaluated with a high degree of accuracy using the scientifically validated assessment tools that are currently available. By looking at current sales team members and future applicants through the lens of strategic selling, small B-to-B vendors who depend on key accounts can be better prepared to deal with a variety of challenges.

Acquisitions, expansions & other business news
The rental revenue forecast strengthens The American Rental Association's (ARA) Rental Show was held in Orlando FL with a very upbeat optimism for 2017. The ARA five-year forecast for equipment industry revenues were released in January showing a moderate strengthening compared to the November forecast. ARA now projects U.S. equipment rental revenue will reach $48.9 billion in 2017, but then grow at an average annual rate of 4.3 percent over the forecast to top $56 billion in 2020. "We continue to see strength in key economic data that drive our rental revenue estimates," said John McClelland, ARA vice-president for government affairs and chief economist. "The economy continues to gain strength and promise of tax reform, reductions in regulations, a more accommodative energy policy and additional infrastructure will only add to that strength. The big question continues to be how fast these changes will occur and go into effect," McClelland said. www.ararental.org

Caterpillar closes Iowa facility
International manufacturing company Caterpillar Inc. will close its Elkader, IA facility by the end of this year. In a statement released this afternoon, company officials announced plans to consolidate the plant's operations with a location in Wamego, Kan. About 75 management and production positions will be affected. "The actions taken today will help optimize current and future manufacturing operations and leverage the existing support structure in order to make the best use of manufacturing capacity," spokeswoman Janice Walters wrote in the statement. Workers were notified Thursday of the impending closure. "Caterpillar knows this is difficult for its employees and their families, but steps must be taken to position the company for long-term success," Walters wrote. www.cat.com
Rail industry sets new safety record
Following the acquisition by the KION Group, Dematic, supplier of integrated automated technology, software and services to optimize the supply chain, announced plans for integrating Egemin Automation into its organization. The integration, which is targeted for completion by the end of calendar year 2017, will result in the world's largest Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) supplier while enhancing Dematic's system integration capability in Europe.

U.S. railroads had the lowest train accident rate on record in 2016, according to data from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Derailment rates, which declined 10 percent in 2016 from 2015, as well as track-caused accident rates, are also both all-time lows. The 2016 rail safety statistics continue a string of record-setting years, showing this period has been the safest ever for the rail sector. The freight rail industry believes there is a strong correlation between safety gains and the research, development and implementation of new technologies, as well as sustained private spending averaging $26 billion annually in recent years. Notable statistics, calculated per million train miles using March 2017 FRA data, include: Train accident rate is down 44 percent since 2000, equipment-caused accident rate is down 34 percent since 2000, track-caused accident rate is down 53 percent since 2000 and derailment rate is down 44 percent since 2000. www.aar.org

oldest, most recognized programs for design excellence worldwide. The MPB045VG walkie pallet truck with lithium-ion battery offers the first commercially available Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recognized lithiumion battery pack in the forklift industry. The lithium-ion powered walkie was selected based on its extended run times, fast and convenient charging capabilities, exceptional maneuverability and reduced environmental impact. Compared to lead-acid batteries, the new lithium-ion option is designed to last five times longer, drastically reducing downtime, expensive battery replacements and the associated landfill waste.

Brady introduces PaintStripe™ floor marking stencils
New explosion proof C rails & light crane systems
Brady, global provider of industrial and safety printing systems and solutions, announced its PaintStripe Floor Marking Stencils. These easy-to-apply stencils offer precise control and measurement when using paint to mark industrial floors. PaintStripe stencils augment Brady’s current offering of floor-marking solutions with a paint-compatible alternative for use in areas where abrasive traffic, wet floors, wash-down conditions or aesthetics make paint preferable over line-marking tape. They’re available in continuous or dashed line formats with line widths of 2, 3 or 4 inches. The stencil face features a repeating 12-inch ruler for accurate measurement and printed cut-lines for rapid alignment of 90° corners. Two adhesive options offer either low adhesion for clean, polished floors or higher adhesion for dull, worn or rough floor surfaces. www.bradyid.com

IDEC releases world’s smallest safety laser scanner IDEC Corporation introduces the SE2L safety laser scanner, the world’s smallest, and the world’s first with master/slave functionality and dual protection zones. A laser scanner is a safety device that uses the reflection of laser beams to detect the presence of objects or people. The scanner is certified for use in safety applications including AGVs, forklifts, robots and other items of moving equipment found in industrial facilities. Master/slave functionality allows one SE2L scanner to act as master and communicate with up to three other scanners. The safetycontroller only needs to communicate with the master, reducing the required number of input and communication channels on the controller. www.idec.com/usa
