By: Garry Bartecki Rental and Leasing trends and more on the One-Day Dealer Conference In past issues we have covered. potential paradigm shifts dealers and customers must adapt to. We also noted how companies that do not adapt to change become obsolete and disappear from our economic spectrum. These changes happen in two ways…you change and keep in sync with customer changes, or your customer changes and finds that your level of service no longer fits their needs. In the first case you keep an important customer and could attract even more. In the latter case you become one of our adapt or die candidates feeding the disruption statistics. In the process of gathering background for this column I visited my good friend Google and found a ton of material about trends impacting OEM’s, Finance companies, Dealers and Customers. And it should not be a surprise that Technology and Artificial Intelligence lead the parade in producing faster, more efficient processing of just about every aspect of the industry business. Financing plays a big part in the industrial and construction equipment markets, with programs designed for OEM’s, dealers and customers. As with all industries in this age of technology and artificial intelligence finance companies are looking for ways to push the middleman out of the deals and fund deals that lower operating and interest costs paid by end users. I believe we can safely say that your financing sources in the future will help dealers secure deals because of the way they do business with the customer and OEM, find new ways to process transactions and use Big Data to provide additional value to transactions. There are some that are saying that equipment financing, especially lease financing is on the way out because:
6

Companies are flush with cash • OEM sales are down • Equipment lasts longer • Increasing rental fleets lower OEM sales levels • New lease accounting rules • Bonus Depreciation To summarize, the typical benefits of leasing you see in Finance Company advertisements are offset by the new lease accounting rules and current tax policy. Even if this is true there does not seem to be more than a modest decline in Lease Financing expected for the balance of 2019 and heading into 2020. As far as material handling and construction equipment go lease financing could slow because the material handling segment of the Momentum Monitor Sector Matrix indicates potential negative growth in material handling equipment in the next couple of quarters. In terms of the construction equipment market segment the Index points to potential stalled growth in construction equipment over the next six months. As noted, earlier financing sources are taking steps to maximize the use of technology and AI to gain more market share. With the resources they have available it is easy to contemplate some interesting changes coming from money sources that will provide more than just financing to the transaction. To make a buck in financing you need qualified customers, volume, competitive interest rates and processing fees with the flexibility to meet OEM, Dealer and Customer needs. Some of the steps Finance companies are taking to meet these needs are: • Digital contracts and the end of paper • Artificial Intelligence to support pay-for-use programs • Predictive pricing analytics to provide state of the art pricing models • Using Big Data to supply equipment and user needs with surprising accuracy Banks and Finance companies who invest and adapt by using technology and BIG Data will determine who finances material handling and construction equipment in the years to come. Think about how these new value-added processes could assist your customers decide how to finance or lease additional equipment. Finance companies able to provide this level of service will adapt and be accordingly rewarded. Are your financing sources adapting? And if they are not is it possible your customers are at risk to a competitor who has high-tech finance company as a partner?

Cover Story Now how about the Rental Markets. If you have been reading this publication you know my thoughts on how rental will impact the material handling business. When speaking of “rental” I am not addressing 60-month contracts with maintenance which are 60-month purchase agreements with maintenance contracts attached to them. I am talking pure rental agreements where customers pay for what they use when they want it. The “Rental” industry as I see it continues to expand and will do so for many years to come, providing daily, weekly and monthly rentals, with the entire cost of ownership and operation in the hands of the rental company. If we go back to the previous comments of what adaptive finance companies are doing with AI and Big Data can addressing customer needs regarding material handling equipment be far behind? Can you envision a process where you can predict customer needs on a daily, weekly and monthly basis and adjust units on hand and pricing to meet those needs? If you could, I believe you would have a line of prospective customers banging on your door to join the program. As a side note when I look at potential future issues facing dealer’s I always like to check what is going on in the auto industry. After reading some material on the future of auto industry all I can say is WOW because the auto industry has a lot of balls in the air and has to find ways to maneuver their bulk to stay ahead of the disruption caused by changing attitudes about cars and what they are used for and how they are used. If you are an auto OEM and want to maintain or improve market share, you need answers to the “what are they used for and how they are used” questions. OEM’s will need the agility to adapt, be customer centric and provide new business and dealer models to drive market share via sales, service, parts and rentals. Expect major changes. As we say in the material handling business, changes taking place in the auto industry will soon show up on our doorstep. Dare I say, “Here we go again”. I will and believe this will be a good thing if you follow how the auto industry is changing their dealer model and adapt, not that you can do anything to stop the paradigm shift. You can’t. As OEM’s, Finance companies and Dealers adapt to the changes previously discussed hopefully you will find yourself in the category of dealers who have adapted by staying in sync with aggressive customers and together are finding ways to both reduce operating and financing costs. So, it is safe to say that equipment dealers must embrace the IT and AI assets available and partner with OEM’s and Finance sources to develop and implement ways to provide 8

more value added to customer relationships. Adapt and you win. Don’t and you lose. Finally, let’s discuss MHW’s One-Day Dealer Conference for personnel working in the material handling business, to be held on September 19, 2019 at the Wintrust Financial Corporation facility in Rosemont, Illinois (walking distant from O’Hare airport). The location is good. The Price is right. Parts and Service (where you make most of your money) will be covered in detail. Other topics of the day will be in Rapid Fire format presented by experts in their field who will remain for the entire day to address questions from participants. The Rapid-Fire method will give you the “highlights” you need to know about topics without getting into too much detail. Expert panels will provide the data, answer questions, and be available for one-onone sessions after we adjourn. You will also be provided with a work manual containing outlines of each speaker’s presentation. In short, this is a two- or three-day session condensed into one day. David Baiocchi will cover product support and aftermarket programs. The new lease accounting rules and revenue recognition rules which impact both dealers and customers will be discussed. Dealers need to be prepared to address customer concerns. Federal and State and Local tax issues will be reviewed. State and local issues have become more complicated in the last year with significant penalties pending if you make a mistake. We also plan to cover exit strategies as well as ESOPS as an exit strategy. ESOP’s work in this business and provide significant tax benefits. Those that don’t want to adapt may want to explore an ESOP. Understanding fiduciary responsibilities is also on the agenda. Again, comply or face stiff penalties. Wintrust will cover the interest rate and economic outlook. Plus …. whatever else you wish to discuss. For more details or to register go to www.dealer-conference.com. Sign up now. You will enjoy it and return to work with a follow up list to deal with. Sign up by the end of the month and save $100 per registration. Give me a call if you have questions.

Managing Dead Stock Our industry has evolved through many stages over the past 30 years. The notable development over our history however is the consolidation of OEM’s and the inevitable merging of distribution channels. It was bound to happen. Over the decades the production capabilities between brands of equipment have narrowed. There is no longer any way that engineers can make them smaller or faster without sacrificing safety. So, in order to create price advantages, OEM’s had to develop “economies of scale” in order to utilize their buying power, and preserve profitability. This could not be done without mergers and acquisitions. Similar evolutions have taken place in the farm and construction equipment marketplace as well. In like kind, the distributor base has also gone through its own winnowing process. Look around the industry. 20 years ago, every OEM had 90 to 150 dealers. Today, you will find much smaller dealer networks, comprised of larger dealers with growing territories. This evolutionary cycle has its benefits, but it also has forced dealers out of their brand-centric practices as more lines of equipment become available in a shrinking dealer network. Supporting multiple lines of equipment requires investments in sales promotion, training, and most of all, parts inventory. Each brand has different maintenance and repair requirements. Stocking programs for parts will differ from OEM to OEM. Managing the ebb and flow of a responsible parts inventory only becomes more complex when we take on multiple lines of equipment. Dead stock is the bane of the parts managers existence. Once you own it, you own it. Sometimes parts can be returned to the OEM, sometimes not. Even with the best planning you will sometimes end up with non-returnable parts that sit silently on the shelf…. waiting to be written off. The problem with managing dead stock is that the horse is already out of the barn. You can’t simply create demand that no longer exists. There are however some processes that we can discuss to either prevent dead stock from accumulating in the first place, or find new purposes to manage the dead money. 1) Unit population aging analysis. Time and again I encounter parts records that contain the following data 10
www.MHWmag.com
September 2019
a.Part number
b.Quantity c.Pricing
d.Pack quantity
e.Package weight
f.Purchase history
All of these items are relevant, but one thing that is missing from most systems is a list of equipment models corresponding to this particular part number. OEM’s really miss an opportunity to help their dealers track relevant inventory when they don’t map that information into their parts data stream. Usually a dealer has to look up the part manually on the OEM website to find what models are relevant, and sometimes, even the information listed on the website is in error, or is simply not available. This knowledge is a key component to controlling the inventory. We all have sales records. We are pretty good about knowing what units we are currently servicing. If we could somehow tie a list of parts to models that are aging out, or being retired, it would give us some advance warning on parts that should merit special attention when it comes time for the annual return. Even if your OEM doesn’t do a good job of providing this link, the dealership can build that data over time. It may mean that you have to create additional fields in your business system, but the time and effort it would take will pay dividends if you get some forewarning. Do some strategic planning, and keep track of units that are ending lease, and/or customer equipment that is being supplanted by newer models. If the existing models are leaving your APR, it’s time to start a review. 2) Quantity pack pricing policies OEM’s tend to sell some smaller parts in package quantities far larger than what a single work order will require to complete a repair. When the package quantity is 8 and you only need 2 for a single repair, the left-over inventory can be one of the biggest creators of dead stock. Consider instituting a policy of quantity pack pricing on repair orders. If the only way to buy the part is in lots of 8, post all 8 pieces to the job. Give the left-over pieces to the customer, or toss them…but DON’T return them to inventory!

Aftermarket 3) Maximize your return privilege Almost every OEM allows at least one annual parts return. It is amazing to me when this event is not front and center on the calendar every year. Planning for the annual return can be done as much as 6 months in advance of the return date. If you have multiple branches, sometimes each branch has its own return allowance. Be sure to transfer dead stock parts between branches if needed to maximize every allowance you have. 4) Make a deal Just because your OEM won’t allow some parts to be included on the annual return, doesn’t mean that you can’t negotiate some sort of value trade to sweeten the deal. Perhaps you can offer to shift purchases of sundry items like, lubricants, hardware, bearings, chain, forks and other accessories from a local vendor to the OEM, in trade for some consideration in accepting unreturnable dead stock items. You may only get 40 cents on the dollar, but it’s better than a write-off!

Use your aftermarket resources to identify parts that may fit competitive model units. The IRMN system used by TVH can offer a clue as to what other competitive models can be targeted with your obsolete hose, bearing, cylinder, or belt. Relabel the part as an aftermarket item, and your old part may find a new home on a competitive machine. Our industry’s penchant for consolidation will not end anytime soon. Like it or not, dead stock is an issue we will all come face to face with. The worst thing we can do is ignore it. My advice is that if you have to write it off…. do it early and then MAKE A PLAN for what to do with that part! If it hasn’t moved in 18-24 months, return it, find a way to use it on your own rental fleet, or write it off and determine the drop- dead date for the part to hit the dumpster. Run lean, and stay aware. Dave Baiocchi is the president of Resonant Dealer Services LLC. He has spent 37 years in the equipment business as a sales manager, aftermarket director and dealer principal.

Five qualities that separate Extraordinary Salespeople from the rest The Basics and Benefits of Competency-Based Training Training and development play a critical role in important business outcomes like employee retention, professional development, and hiring processes like on-boarding. However, training and development is also a vital piece of workplace culture and employee engagement. Though it can be overlooked, employees need training and development catered to their individual personalities and learning habits. How will your team learn, grow, and thrive in your organization if they’re stuck in lengthy, unengaging training programs? The answer is competency-based training focused on specific skills. Here’s how it can benefit your organization: The Basics of Competency-Based Training Competency-based training is training and development that focuses on specific competencies, or skills. What makes this style of training unique is that the training programs are broken down into individual courses, or modules. These modules focus on a single skill at a time, taking trainees through a course based on their mastery of each of the individual skills in the program. Simply put, competency-based training is personalized to better suit your development needs. Your employees are individuals, after all. They each have their own way to learn, train, and develop. Think of a competency-based training program like an obstacle course, each portion of the obstacle course, whether it be climbing a wall or swimming through a pool, requires a different skill to complete it. Once completed, the obstacle course moves on to a new challenge that requires a new skill. In other words, your employees that enter a competency-based training program will focus on skills or competencies, sometimes referred to as skills-based training, following the desired track until they have achieved goal completion. Specific skills can be grouped into modules to emphasize specific types of training. For example, if you’re looking to train your sales team on a specific set of skills to improve their sales capabilities, these types of competencies can be grouped into a specific module. Through competency-based training, employees learn and 16

demonstrate their mastery of specific skills before moving on to further segments of training. The Benefits of Competency-Based Training The ability to customize and tailor your training sets competency-based training above other kinds of employee development. Simply put, large-scale standardized training and development might work for some, but not all people and personalities are the same. Employees experiencing competency-based training reap a myriad of benefits from a personalized training process. Competency-based training is…Productive Competency-based modules are broken down by specific skills to deliver training in shorter, and more manageable doses. This frees up time your team would have spent taking the larger, more time-consuming training program. In other words, employees can complete training modules on their own time, or the training schedule you create with them. The key takeaway here is that the schedule is in your own control. Modules are ready to be completed however you set out to accomplish them. Adaptable Need your entire team trained on a specific skill, but don’t have the time for the group to meet, altogether, at once? Competency-based training modules are self-paced and user-managed – meaning they’re adaptable for your team to take, train, and develop skills at their own pace. Have you ever met someone that’s incredibly talented at taking tests? Or someone who is capable of reading and comprehending text much faster than their peers? Everyone learns in their own unique way, so segmenting your training this way will cater to the individual learning styles of your team. Cost-efficient Get training on the specific skills you need, when you need them. Some larger or bundled training and development programs can be costly – as they typically don’t allow you to segment the specific skills training you need. That’s where the competitive value of competencybased training comes into the fold. Depending on your training needs, module-based training sessions can be much more cost-efficient. The best part? These microlearning training sessions save you money while still offering all the training and development benefits

Human Element your organization needs (while also cutting out the training segments you don’t). Personalized Modify your training programs and modules to suit your interests, skills, and development needs. Remember how we talked about how individuals have their own unique learning styles? The same concept can be applied to training and development. Some people are naturally more talented at specific skills than others, and that goes for how people learn new skills, too. With competency-based training, you can customize how your team tackles training by catering your programs to meet their individual needs. Pair the training with each individual employee’s personality assessment in order to create a more effective and targeted development program. According to LinkedIn’s 2018 Workplace Learning Report… • 93% of employees say they would stay at a company longer if it invested in their careers. • 68% of employees prefer to learn at work. • 58% of employees prefer to learn at their own pace.
Competency-based training is about the professional development of your team. The secret to this method of training is that it can be paired with your other employee training and development strategies. Each training module can be used as a stand-alone training session tailoring the experience to your training goals. Need to cross-train your salespeople on a single particular skill? Competency-based training makes it possible to scale up or scale down your training, for whatever you need. Want to train your employees so they have the skills to compete with the best? With Caliper Precision Series, your company can offer self-paced microlearning around the competencies related to their skill development and professional success.

Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Inc. has announced the approval of a new lineup of lithium-ion batteries for use in its 3- and 4-wheel electric sitdown models. This introduction makes Toyota the first manufacturer in the industry to obtain UL-E and UL-EE certification for the combination of lift truck and lithiumion batteries on a sit-down counterbalanced forklift. Toyota engineers worked directly with Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to test and certify the use of four new Navitas lithium-ion batteries in Toyota forklifts. This development provides a solution for customers requiring UL-E or UL-EE rated forklifts who would also like to benefit from the use of lithium-ion batteries. www.

BLOCKS THE SPREAD OF FIRE - ACTIVATES SPRINKLER SYSTEM Today’s warehouse fire protection systems include more than just pipes and sprinklers. When the products being stored include highly flammable items such as plastics, aerosols, liquors or oils, fire barriers may be required inside the racking structure. Solid steel rack decking and flat sheet accessories from DACS make effective fire or heat barriers in warehouse environments. They can be used on storage racks horizontally or vertically to block the spread of fire, or to capture heat for in-rack sprinkler activation.

Sales Trends Jeffrey Gitomer
Price-the most perplexing issue of sales I wish I had a dollar for every salesperson who told me the biggest objection he or she gets is “price.” Price is a complex objection that deals with subheadings like real need, affordability, hidden agendas, value, prospect perception, and communication by the salesperson. The only common denominator about price objections is that they are often buying signals in disguise. Larry Steinmetz is an acknowledged sales expert on issues of price. He has written two books and conducted seminars for twenty years on the subject. “When the customer says, ‘I can get it down the street for less,’ the salesman is being sold by the customer,” says Steinmetz. “If salespeople spent half the amount of time selling the customer as they do on selling the boss to lower the price, they’d be millionaires.” A major part of the price problem is that many salespeople believe that they (or their company) are the
same or worse than their competition. Fortunately, there are two quick fixes for this situation: Change your belief or change your employer. Here are Steinmetz’s top four “Don’t” hints, techniques and pitfalls about the price issue. 1. Don’t volunteer or encourage price reductions. (“You don’t want to pay this”) or they preface giving the price by saying “buckle your seat belt.” This is an act called wowing at the price. Another example is “Are you sitting down?” 2. Don’t say anything but “The price is” the only word to use in front of price is “THE.” As soon as you say best lowest list book preferred it says to the customer the price is negotiable. 3. Don’t suggest positive reduction to the customer. “Let me see what I can do” “let me talk this over with my boss.” Here the customer clearly expects a cut. 4. Don’t say to the customer “we’re competitive” on anything OTHER than the price. Price provides an opportunity to serve. Don’t waste the opportunity by making excuses about it. “If the performance of the product affects the ability of the user to perform his or her task, price is the lowest priority.” says Steinmetz, “Do you go out for a price bid for brain surgery? No, you get the best quality surgeon you can find. It’s the same in your business. The more important quality is the less important price.” Six things you can do to keep price integrity… 1. Support the price you give as the true price “Let me tell you why…” 2. Use the fact of higher price as the reason to buy “You get the highest level of service after the sale…” 3. Use testimonials “Here are letters from others who have paid a higher and loved it…” 4. Sell your competitive edge, not your price “We’re the company who holds the patent…”

Sales Trends 5. Sell the decision maker on the relationship “In order to serve you after the sale in the manner you expect…” 6. Sell everything BUT price. Start with quality, value and cost. If you’re not the lowest price, be the best value, lowest overall cost, finest product, highest productivity, fastest (legendary) service. Statistics show most price cuts come from salespeople not customers, and most price resistance comes from salespeople not buyers. WOW. Here are a few additional notes about the price enigma: Customer rule number ONE: Price is the first thing you forget if something goes wrong. Business rule number ONE: You must sell at your price because profit must exist in order to service after the sale. Sales rule number ONE: Don’t give the price before you’re asked. Let the prospect ask, “How much is it?” It’s the biggest buying signal you’ll ever get. Of our top quality, best service, and two-day delivery if I cut my price, which of these services do you want me to eliminate?” Answer price questions with confidence and conviction. The way you deliver the answer price questions is the difference between sale and no sale. Secret indicator. Sales managers know their prices are right when salespeople are complaining the price is too high.

Sell perceived value. Gasoline why do you buy premium? Perceived value! Why do you pay extra for credit card or full serve? Service or convenience! Is price an issue when you run out of gas? The difference between the high price, the low price and the price at which the sale is made is the reality of the customer’s perception of value that has been created by your ability to sell. Larry Steinmetz does not believe price is the issue. Neither do I.
