Cover Story Dave Baiocchi
Under-promise and over-deliver The title of my column is the mantra of many aftermarket professionals in our industry. Nobody ever wants to get a reputation for not living up to their commitments. But as easy as this guidepost is to talk about, it remains elusive and difficult to master. The reasons for not achieving this on an ongoing basis are wide and varied. No, it’s not always “Murphy’s Law”. My friend Murphy gets the blame all too often. I think that to achieve this goal we must understand that this process, is less about actual “promises” and “deliverables”, and more about managing customer expectations. That is the real goal here. It’s not simply our ability to deliver on time and under budget. It’s really about the strength of our connection to the customer, our understanding of his priorities, and the efficacy of our communication. Do we interface with our customers in a way that they feel is authentic, trustworthy, and reliable? I have found over the years that customer dissatisfaction normally starts with our inability or unwillingness to communicate, especially in situations where the customer is constrained to wait longer than they expected, or pay more than they anticipated. Assessment first In the service industry, many customers are already emotionally compromised from the first encounter. They know they have a problem. What they don’t know is HOW MUCH and HOW LONG. This frustration is evident even as we try to assess what steps need to be taken to understand the scope of the project. These customers many times want you to adopt their urgency and sense of panic. They press you to make verbal commitments very early in the process about both the repair diagnosis, the estimated costs, and the expected timeline. In these moments, service professionals need some backbone. ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to make (or even make allusions to) estimated costs and timelines for repairs until the assessment process is complete. Diagnosis and troubleshooting are a part of the repair process. We cannot manage the 6

customer’s expectations BEFORE we are fully aware of the requirements. One of the best practices I have seen involves providing the customer with a written statement. It can be emailed, texted, handed to customers onsite, or distributed by road technicians. “We understand your urgency and your concerns about affordable equipment repairs. Please understand that we cannot and will not provide any estimated costs or timelines for any repair until a complete assessment of the machinery has been completed. This is a process that may require multiple approvals from you for disassembly and inspection PRIOR to starting repairs. We will communicate with you at regular intervals as to our progress in diagnosis.” The last sentence is the key to success. The more frequent the updates, the more control you will have in the process. Get the facts. • Do we understand the entire scope of the repair? • What parts are needed? • Are the parts available? • How will parts availability affect the timeline? • Do we have the right tools (including software)? • Do we have qualified technicians? Only after we have these answers should we approach the customer with a repair estimate and timeline. We cannot afford to let the customer’s urgency set the pace or accelerate our decisionmaking. I am fond of telling stressed-out customers that I understand their anxiety, but in the end, they will be glad we took the time to get it right the first time. Bad news on the doorstep Nobody wants to deliver bad news. Bad news sucks. So, we avoid engaging it until the last possible minute. This is a recipe for disaster. The news won’t change during our wait for the inevitable. So, put on your big boy

pants, “embrace the suck”, and communicate confidently. Below, I have listed some “go-to” phrasing that may help you navigate these waters. “We discovered some difficulties with your machine, and wanted to make you aware of what your available options are”. I use the word “difficulties” because it’s the only word that doesn’t cast blame. Using words like “problem”, “issue”, or “failure” tend to leave the blame on the customer's shoulders. “Difficulty” however is a word that simply calls everyone to action. It isn’t impossible, catastrophic, or unsolvable, it’s just difficult. I use the word “options” because it calls everyone “forward”. “Options” generally follow the same pattern in any emergency repair operation. • Option 1: Order new parts now, and complete the repair ASAP • Option 2: Investigate alternative options (aftermarket parts, sublet, or partial repairs). • Option 3: Button it up and bill the customer for inspection and diagnosis. If possible, it helps to have estimates of the costs of all 3 options in your pocket. That should be easy to calculate on option 3. The other two options may take more time to assemble, but even without estimated pricing, our communication with the customer is about OPTIONS. When our discussion with a customer revolves around an unforeseen circumstance, the worst thing we can do is simply throw it in their lap. “Your transmission is toast”. “Your battery is completely shorted out”. “Your frame is cracked”. OK…now anticipate what the NEXT QUESTION will be. It’s not hard. They’re the same questions every time. • How much? • How long? • What are my options? When you use the OPTIONS method, you present the bad news ALONG with at least SOME of the answers to the questions that you know are coming next. Even if you may not 8

know the exact costs, or the timelines yet…. anticipating and laying out the framework for what comes next, let the customer know that YOU are already thinking ahead on their behalf. That gives them a degree of comfort even in the face of really bad news. Speak…then memorialize in writing So many ruined customer relationships die on the altar of “but, you said”. The verification platform for “verbal agreements” is limited to the memory of the parties involved in the conversation. It’s just my observation, but I find that memory tends to be governed by the agenda of the listener. When committing to anything, especially relating to pricing or time frames, be sure to ALWAYS back it up with written confirmation. Email and text messaging are cheap insurance for your reputation. If things are misunderstood, a summary text or email gives both parties the opportunity to get things squared EARLY in the process. Nobody wants to disappoint a customer. Not using written confirmation only increases the chance that you may disappoint them TWICE instead of just once. Summarizing agreements also makes you look like a professional. I can’t think of one time I have received a discussion summary email from anyone where I didn’t walk away with respect for the other party. Yes, it’s an investment of time and effort, but it pays dividends. No padding In an effort to never over-promise, some of us are tempted to over-price and overestimate timelines in order to avoid the discomfort of dealing with an unforeseen circumstance. This is more insidious than it seems. You are not fooling anyone. Customers easily catch on to what you are doing, and in most cases, you end up running them off. Either the padded estimate is too uncompetitive, or the customer gets tired of trying to second guess what the REAL costs are going to be. Most customers would rather be given a reasonable estimate and then deal with circumstances as they arise. We all know that in the aftermarket arena, surprises happen. Attempting to artificially account for the unexpected is a bad idea.

Cover Story continued
The “I didn’t forget about you” quotient This is one of the most effective, and least used methods of managing expectations. Conventional wisdom is that if the customer is not complaining, then….” let sleeping dogs lie”. The truth however is that the dogs are not sleeping, they are wide awake, they are anxious, and they are waiting for your call. When you don’t have the answer yet…there is a temptation to simply wait until you do. We fail to realize however that most customers have a latent fear of being forgotten, sidelined, or otherwise overlooked. They know we are busy. They have heard our phones ringing off the hook. When information is slow in coming, they always fear that we have abandoned them. Most of us avoid the “circle back” phone call because we fear that the customer will be angry. Seldom is this the case? The words “I just didn’t want you to think we had forgotten about you” create a positive emotional bond with the customer that earns their respect and trust, even in difficult circumstances. Especially at the end of the day, never leave the shop without trying to contact every waiting customer with a “didn’t forget about you” message. E-mail and text messages are ok to do this, but given the opportunity, don’t ignore the power of actual voice-to-voice contact. No matter how hard we try, circumstances will eventually put us in an over-promise / under-deliver quagmire. Our ability to manage expectations, constantly communicate, and present multiple options as situations evolve, is the hallmark of an exemplary aftermarket organization.

Bottom Line Garry Bartecki
Digitalization-Proficiency-Resilience What a week. Just finished listening to Jim Cramer summarize the Q1 results from the major retailers. Worse than expected, with their stock prices taking a hit. The main reasons for these results are: • Unexpectedly high costs throughout Q1 • Inventory impairments • Sales mix changes • Supply chain disruptions • Freight Costs Revenues may have been close to expectations. The gross margin and the operating margin, however, both missed. Foot traffic was up but sales patterns changed to more essentials as opposed to big-ticket items. The freight and transportation cost increases were staggering. About $1 billion for Target was not expected. I would expect any distributor of prepackaged goods to fall under this array of disruption. Most will be taking hits unless they fall under the “Discount Store” umbrella which is doing better at hitting numbers. The important thing here is that “higher cost,” “inflation,” and “supply chain problems” are now only becoming known in the public sector. Consequently, dealers can expect to be exposed to these issues through their distributor customers and hopefully have courses of action planned out to assist customers and avoid collection problems. Are pre-packaged distributors the only OHIO RACK customers to worry about? I doubt it. Every We BUY & SELL business with a significant distribution function will Portable Stack Racks Flexible Packaging also have to deal with the NEW & USED five “reasons” noted above. And as far as manufacturers 800-344-4164 Fax 330-823-8136 are concerned, they are also subject to the five “reasons,” Email: ohiorack@cannet.com www.ohiorack.com different from the distributor 12

level of disruption, but still disruption that will eat up both time and dollars. One of the major problems deals with the cost and timing of deliveries. Not much you can do about transportation costs unless you move your warehouses closer to both your receiving and customer's locations. It seems that both manufacturers and distributors are analyzing these options to build or rent more warehouses where a high concentration of customers is located. Another show I was listening to discussed how companies are “handling” the cost increases. They are: • Do not pass them on yet. Do so when they really need to. • Pass on 100% of the increases as incurred. • Pass a % of them on for as many years as it takes to recover 100%. Let us assume many of your customers find themselves dealing with the five “reasons,” which of course could cause cash flow problems for them, and then cash flow problems for you. Consequently, tighter customer credit reviews and a weekly review of AR to spot problems before they get out of hand should be considered. To aid in this process you may want to calculate your Days Sales Outstanding at least weekly to see how the trend is tracking, and which customers are causing any increase. After tracking all that is going on in the lift truck industry, the construction equipment industry, the rental industry, and the construction industry, I believe we are in this trick-bag for many years, and no matter what industry you are in there is a need to get more resilient if you hope to maintain your influence in your market area. Let us face it. Customers will be in a state of flux financially, either because of customer problems or the direct impact of the five “reasons” or some combo of the two. Add on to that the price increases in equipment yet to come plus the higher financing costs lead me to believe

Bottom Line continued
dealers can expect pushback going forward when it comes to long-term leases with maintenance. Thus, my title for this month’s column: Digitalization The construction industry and related dealer networks are diving in to cut the time and cost to plan, manage, bill, and complete the work in a timely fashion. These technology cap-X expenditures are making contractors more competitive and profitable compared to how they operated ten years ago. The same should apply to lift truck dealers. Proficiency Upgrading your technology package will allow you to reduce the time it takes to complete a project or daily work requirements. And any reduction in clerical work provides the opportunity to move employees into more meaningful jobs or to just adjust the number of employees. The sales, parts, service, and rental departments will also become more accountable to management to help cut costs or speed up production, which also helps offset pay increases
given to employees to keep talent and offset inflation-related adjustments. Resilience Planning and taking steps to manage a new set of business metrics and customer needs ensures that you will be one of the last men/women standing. From what I see OEMs are reducing the number of dealers they have. Why do they do that? To do more with less using their best operators to get the product into the market. If you can take your metrics into the HI-Profit status in the Disc Report, then I would consider your company to be one of the consolidators working with the OEM. And we did not even start on the future of EV of forklifts. One last comment about how banks are dealing this these five “reasons.” Not very well as far as I can tell. Meaning every dealer has to be prepared to comply with bank requirements and any current bank covenants. To walk into a bank meeting and get nailed for violations is not a good place to be. And if your balance sheet and/ or free cash flow has deteriorated keep in mind that the new Least Accounting rules will add debt to the balance sheet which could put you in violation of covenants. More on this later. And since costs are bouncing around so much, I thought I would include this formula for calculating selling price based on the cost of the units under consideration. COST/ 100% - PERCENT GROSS PROFIT REQUIRED Cost = $10,000 Required GP = 35% 100-35 = 65 the divisor $10,000/65= $15,384 sell price $15,384 sell price – $10,000 cost =$ 5,385 GP $5,384 /$15,384 = 35% margin Stay in touch with customers and see where they are headed.

Feature Story The Raymond Corporation
A Century of Innovation drives today’s material handling industry; The Raymond Corporation marks 100th Anniversary
Steve Raymond, SR - Credit The Raymond Corporation
In June, The Raymond Corporation celebrates its 100th anniversary. It was 1922 when George Raymond Sr. bought a controlling interest in Lyon Iron Works, a small foundry in Greene, New York, and a few years later began producing lift trucks. Since then, the company has invented and patented technologies that have become industry standards. Today, innovations from Raymond, such as the double-faced wooden pallet and narrow aisle concept, are in nearly every distribution center in the world. For a century, Raymond’s integrated intralogistics and material handling solutions have helped customers optimize, connect and automate their operations to achieve a new level of performance. Through 100 years of innovation, Raymond has changed Michael Field, CEO, Raymond the material handling industry through best-in-class forklifts, integrated automation, telematics, virtual reality education, and advanced energy solutions. “As an end-to-end solutions provider, we challenge ourselves each day to continuously 16

deliver and improve solutions that empower our customers to run better and manage smarter,” said Michael Field, president and CEO of The Raymond Corporation. “Since its founding, Raymond has been driven to help customers increase efficiency and improve operations. It is this focus that has helped us continue to contribute to the future of the supply chain and to the success of so many of our customers.” This milestone anniversary is a testament to a firm focus on innovation, quality, and service — principles that have shaped the company from Raymond’s early days. Raymond piloted many advancements and technologies central to meeting the industry’s most critical needs by creating solutions that help customers address the challenges they face today as well as prepare for the future. Here are just some of the advancements that changed the industry. Creating the industry standard A forklift touches nearly every item consumers use in their daily lives. Every consumer purchase relies on a well-run supply chain and a continuously improving material handling industry to get the product in the consumers’ hands when and where they want it. Moreover, today’s fast-paced material handling industry requires the ability to efficiently stack, store and transport goods to keep the supply chain moving. In the early 20th century, The Raymond Corporation laid the foundation for many significant industry advancements when founder George Raymond Sr. and William House, a Raymond designer and mechanical engineer, patented the double-sided wooden pallet and the hydraulic hand pallet truck. The innovations provided a low-cost option for higher vertical stacking. House and Raymond donated the pallet patent to the industry, paving the way for it to become the standard in inventory storage.
A HISTORY OF INNOVATION. A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP. As The Raymond Corporation turns 100, we’d like to mark this milestone by recognizing the loyal customers, trusted partners, and dedicated employees who have made the past century possible. From our roots as a small foundry in Greene, NY, to our leadership position on the global material handling stage, we’re proud of our long history of innovation, quality, and service, and our steady commitment to the places where we live and work. Thank you, again, to our remarkable people. Your vision and skills have driven this company—and this industry—forward since 1922. We look forward to seeing what you achieve over the next 100 years.

Feature Story continued
Optimizing warehouse space Today’s warehouse managers recognize an optimized warehouse as a competitive necessity, and narrow aisle capabilities are key. Yet, this approach was not commonplace until Raymond helped introduce the narrow aisle concept in the early 1950s by patenting the first electric narrow aisle lift truck, which reduced the required turning radius from 10 to 12 feet to 7 to 8 feet. The Raymond forklift design moved from a counterbalancing chassis to a “straddle” approach that preserved its gravitational integrity by straddling the pallet with baselegs, which became the basic principle for narrow aisle forklifts. Paving the way for automation Today, flexible automated technologies, such as Raymond Courier™ automated guided vehicles, efficiently and reliably perform a variety of repetitive tasks, freeing operators to accomplish more value-driven tasks and learn additional skill sets. Technologies such as easy-to-implement vision-guided solutions help answer demands such as rising operational costs and labor challenges. Some technologies built on research and development efforts date back to the early 1980s when Raymond introduced the ELECTOTE automatic guided vehicle. This breakthrough advancement provided horizontal transportation for manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing applications. Prioritizing the operator experience Raymond has a reputation based on topnotch quality, reliability, and exceptional customer service. This reputation is built on providing solutions that bring day-to-day warehouse and distribution operations to a new level of performance. The lift truck of today is no longer “just a lift truck.” It’s now seen as the operator’s cockpit, and ergonomic enhancements help deliver operating efficiencies, productivity, and operator security. In the early 1990s, Raymond hired a former fighter pilot turned industrial designer, Tom Noonan. His approach brought operator comfort and ergonomically designed equipment to the 18

forefront, as he applied fighter jet design concepts to the lift truck control handle. This allowed operators to execute all functions of a lift truck with just one hand. Unleashing the power of data Telematics solutions help reveal data to optimize, connect and automate operations within a warehouse or distribution center.

Sales Trends Jeffrey Gitomer
Predicting the outcome of a Sales Meeting is easy. Sort of. Crystal balls. Don’t you wish you had one when you were preparing for a big sales call? Even more when you were in a big sales presentation? Predicting the future is actually pretty easy if you’re armed with three things: 1. Information about the prospect and his business. 2. The right questions. 3. The ability to see the big picture. Susan C. Gatton, a sales consultant who specializes in sales strategies for Fortune 500 Companies says, “A crystal ball is nothing more than taking a broad look at information derived from reading existing stuff and asking powerful questions. Information that (if understood) will predict the future.” Gatton continues, “There are three places to gain crystal ball information. Past, present, and future. Just look at the elements of each time period, and how they affect the prospect and his use of your product and/or service, and presto, you create your own ability to predict the future.” Pretty cool huh? Here is the information you need from each of the three in order to become a successful predictor of the future (of your order): The Past. The past may have pain it’s where experience has come from. Success and failure have their roots in what has already transpired. Your job is to gather historical information so you can understand the best way to communicate your ability to help in the future. Knowing the past is an easy way to gain an understanding of the present. • Review the customer’s original needs. • Review how they and why they bought before. • Review the players and their personalities. • Review how the decision was made. • Review the problems which surfaced and how they were resolved. 20

The Present. The present is fleeting. No one (especially your prospect) has time to do much more than put out fires and deal with the day-today. Stephen Covey differentiates between urgent and important his Habit #3 (Put first things first) is the real path to success. If you are able to get your prospect to see the importance you can get him away from what he perceives as urgent (but really isn’t). Urgent is his situation important is your ability to communicate help. (NOTE: Help first, get the order second.) Collect information about what is working, and not working from the customer’s point of view, and share your company’s perception of these issues. Collect information about the changes which have taken place in the customer’s company, how they have impacted the decision-makers whom your company has worked with in the past, and how that relates to their present situation. Read all company literature, newsletters, annual reports, and industry trade magazines. Become fluent in the prospect's company and industry. Determine what past problems still exist and maybe prevent present success. Share with the customer the recent changes in the industry, or other experiences, and what the impact of those changes will be on the prospect’s business. Share the changes that your company is going through, and the impact of those changes on the customer. Share your big picture and experience in a way that creates a leadership image. The Future. People love to talk about their dreams. If you can get them going, they may see (and verbalize) how you fit in. Past is important, the present is more important, and the future is most important because that’s where you will develop and live your relationship. You need to know the path your prospect wants to take their road map, and their vision, so you can get on that path, and become part of that vision.

• Ask about his company’s specific future plans and needs to find out the one big goal or big project for the year. Find out specific plans for achievement. • Ask all decision-makers about their future plans. • Ask the customer about what changes they see, future industry trends, and what impact they will have. • Share your industry trends that will affect how your company will do business in the future, and how those trends will impact your business. • Share some of your company’s future plans and show how that will establish (or maintain) a leadership position. Nothing complicated is presented here on the surface it appears to be just basic fundamental blocking and tackling. Almost. It’s fundamentals from the customer's perspective. It’s information from the prospect’s point of view you know, the only one that matters.

Forklift-International traffic skyrockets! After starting its journey in the U.S. four years ago, “Forklift” is now one of the top addresses for dealing with used material handling equipment. 66% year over year growth rate in traffic has skyrocketed the marketplace to a level where it can simply be considered a “no-brainer”.
If you compare these numbers to other online channels like Google Ads, where you pay at least one dollar per click and often times hundreds of dollars for a lead, not leveraging the advantages of a marketplace like Forklift-International has detrimental effects to any forklift dealer‘s business. “Sometimes it is hard to understand, why people spend thousands of dollars on Google while totally ignoring marketplaces. Due to the automatic importing system, machines are online within a minute and results show in no time. It is the easiest and affordable way possible to have success online” says Forklift International Sales Director Monty Alexander. This month, “Forklift” will start giving out a lead guarantee.
Last month, dealers like Russell Equipment Inc, Zoom Lift and Equipment or Toyota Material Handling Northern Carolina achieve results with Forklift International that no other online channel can deliver. On average the top 10 dealers on “Forklift” pay less than Costs Costs per $ 0.06 for a per click (high quality) click on their request Top 10 machines and Dealers $ 0.06 $ 9.15 $9.15 for a high-quality lead.
