By Dave Baiocchi

“The ability to listen, and the willingness to stick your neck out and ask the obvious question, are criminally underrated business essentials." Sir Richard Branson Last month we discussed the importance of listening to our customers in ways that were active and purposeful. The importance of listening to understand instead of listening to reply cannot be overstated. When we take the time to ask the right questions, pay attention to the details and keep focused on data instead of deadlines we give ourselves the best possible opportunity to get it right the first time, and provide the customer experience we all are striving for. Listening to our customers, and understanding their needs is important. Dealers must focus on the customer, his needs, and how we can use our efforts and resources to solve his problems. As critical as the voice of the customer is to our success, as aftermarket managers, it is equally important to focus on another important voice. This is the voice of the employee. In order to run an effective, efficient and safe aftermarket department, it takes more than policies, procedures, initiatives and planning. It takes people. All the best strategies that we work so hard to assemble, are useless unless we have employees that can execute the plan. An employee’s level of commitment, engagement and personal buy-in to the goals of the department and the processes that help us meet those goals is in great part determined by the following factors: 1. Our skill in constantly communicating both the goal and the importance of adhering to our processes. 2. Our ability to keep that messaging clear and consistent. 3. Our willingness to relentlessly enforce the policies and processes we have committed to. 4. Our willingness to accept feedback from our team, and draft changes based on that input if we discover new and better ways to operate. 4

www.MHWmag.com

July 2017

5. Our willingness to respond to feedback every time we receive it. This is a collaborative leadership style that does not suit everyone, but there are benefits to embracing it. A true open door policy will set a tone and a posture in your department that promotes the idea that “none of us, is as smart as all of us.” If you can be successful in establishing this environment, you will be surprised at the results. When they really feel that their contribution to the team is appreciated, and their input is respected, employees many times cross the line from making a living, to making a difference. The constant feedback and response model of leadership comes at a cost. Communication will increase to be sure, which will mean that you will have to commit extra time and energy to increasing facetime with your team members. More communication is a given, but all of it won’t be meaningful, and you will have to develop the unique skill of rejecting a bad idea, but supporting the team member it came from. If you have that interaction focus on the appreciation you have of the willingness of the employee to participate, (regardless of the actual content) it can help you avoid the ideas that won’t work, while not squelching the process of active engagement. It is also extremely important to dedicate yourself to follow through. Failing to follow up and follow through is a momentum killer. When you commit to any team member that you will think it over or consider it or bring it to the management, you must circle back to that team member, and (good news or bad) let them know the outcome. Managers say “I’ll consider it” many times just to avoid having to say “no.” So there it dies. All the while your team member is wondering what happened, and finally gives up contributing to the process because they feel that their input was ignored, or dismissed. It’s much better to say no today while expressing appreciation for the input, than to deflect the issue and put your progress at risk.

Cover Story The June issue of MHW focused on SAFETY. There is no better subject for meaningful communication than creating and maintaining a safe work environment for your employees. Active engagement, conversations, suggestions, and consistent feedback are all keys to making changes to your workplace that actually make a difference in the safety arena. Whether it is safety, efficiency or problem solving, all leaders must understand that you can’t fake or shortcut this process. Employees will see right through it. Communication never chooses a convenient moment to occur. I have been there myself when the phones were ringing off the hook, two people just called in sick, and the computer system just went down, then a team member pokes their head around the corner and says: “Got a minute?” In these moments you may feel compelled to multitask in the name of efficiency. I learned through experience that although multitasking is a skill that may serve to make you more efficient in the short term, it loses its luster in situations where you need to give your full attention to interfacing with your team.

The Ecopoint charger from Ecotec is a full featured industrial battery charger available in 2 models for 8 hr. and 10 hr. recharge. The standard ECO-250 control offers data management normally found only in much more expensive chargers. For pallet jacks, consider the fully automatic STC taper charger. Plugs into any 120V outlet for convenience and portability. For the ultimate in efficiency and flexibility, consider the Access high frequency charger. Models are available for both conventional and opportunity charging.

Earlier in my management career, employees would come to discuss something with me, and for most of the interaction, I would rarely make eye contact with them. I would listen with one ear, nod approvingly, and glance at them occasionally, while my fingers kept pecking away the keyboard. I justified my actions in the name of efficiency. I failed however to see that the practice (in addition to being just plain rude), failed to give the team member the confidence and support they were seeking in coming to see me directly. Reflecting on my career, I remember the people who listened to me. They made an impact on me. When I entered the room they put their pencil down, or pushed their keyboard back and turned to face me. It made a difference. I remember in the mid 80’s I was working as a rental manager for a large Caterpillar dealer in the San Francisco Bay area. Our division manager (Ernie) amazed me with his ability to focus on each person’s individual concern. One afternoon I was standing outside his office, wanting his opinion on my crisis of the moment. While I was there, I couldn’t help but eavesdrop on the conversation he was having with the service manager from the power systems division. This service manager was delivering very bad news. The disaster that he was describing was very likely going to cost the company tens of thousands of dollars, and a potential lawsuit! As I listened to this sad tale, my crisis seemed less and less important. When it was my turn to go in, I was almost embarrassed by my little issue, and made a comment that it looked to me like he had bigger fires to put out than mine. Ernie waved that off immediately, invited me in, organized and put away the file he was dealing with, got a fresh pad of paper and a pen, then he looked at me and said…You deserve to be heard just like the last manager that was in here. His problems are no more important than yours. So David, what’s on your mind? I will never forget that moment. Ernie had every right to dismiss my issue in light of what seemed to me to be incredible problems, but instead he chose to exercise his listening skills. He did give me his full attention; rendered the opinion I needed, and then went on his way, ostensibly to deal with the catastrophe at hand. What he did however made an indelible

July 2017

Cover Story impression on me. I felt important, needed, and significant. From that day forward, if Ernie had asked me to go to hell and back, my only response would be “what time do you want me there?” He earned my loyalty, and my commitment because he listened to me. It was an important lesson that is still difficult for me to replicate in my own life, but I’m making progress. Listening makes a difference.

Bottom Line Garry Bartecki

Educated staff = more $$ If I had to bet on the title of this column I suspect I would win at least 90% of the time. What do you think?

•W e are facing a period of rapid change related to IofT making it almost impossible for current employees to keep up.

Why do I suggest that spending more time and dollars on training and education will generate more dollars to either the top line or bottom line or both? It is because:

•F alling behind on training and the use of technology is a sure way to deplete the value of your company.

• 7 0% of employers trying to fill open positions say they cannot find qualified candidates. •C ompared to other major economies the US only spends 20% of what they do on training. • I n your industry it is common to find department managers behind the curve when it comes to maximizing profits from the use of the latest technology. •R ecent Forbes articles explain how much training matters and used examples of how sharing company financials leads to better performance and profits.

Dot-Lok G2 Transmission Shift Inhibitor Traction Control

The three issues that cause the biggest concerns are: • The scale and timing of the changes taking place • The continual creation of new IofT applications • Losing Boomer experience What this all means is that if you plan to upgrade your company to the use of the latest technology you best GET STARTED NOW, MAKE IT AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN AND CONTINUALLY REVIEW UPGRADES OR NEW SOLUTIONS AS NECESSARY TO KEEP YOU AT THE FRONT OF THE PACK.

Where would you start? Good question, but I believe I would want to survey people in the industry to see what they are doing and how it is working. I guess I would:

• I would hire Millennial's who could help formulate a tech-savvy program. • I would get Six Sigma Lean data and see how that could be applied to your business. The goal here is to upgrade current employees and introduce them to the latest technology. To have a training program available for new hires covering all departments. To provide adequate departmental metrics to department employees and encourage their feedback to improve the process and operating results. And finally, to annually update the current program and make changes as necessary to keep your team at a reasonable competitive level.

Most dealers need people. Sales people that can get the job done. Parts personnel who know how to handle customers both internal and external. Service techs who can proceed up the ladder as soon as possible. Having training programs for each new hire geared to their department will go a long way to making that employee both efficient and confident that he/she can get the job done.

• I would search the internet for courses or training materials that might be helpful to your particular needs.

Not only do you have on-line training programs for every department in your company, you also have group sessions sponsored by MHEDA or some other industry organization. Coaches are also available to help manage both the parts and service and rental departments. The point here is that the training materials are there for the taking along with coaches who can assist with implementation. It will be up to management to monitor the process to make sure that the training courses are completed and that managers are buying in to the new techniques being displayed.

Sales Trends Jeffrey Gitomer

How are you educating and training your employees… and yourself? I just read a pathetic sales pitch from an email where a “training company” was telling me why training fails, and offering what THEY thought was the best way to approach the process. Seems as though they solicited the opinions of ten or twelve people – most of whom haven’t sold anything in years (or ever) nor have they ever trained anyone – and are offering their advice in an email – in other words, not enough of a relationship, or lack of guts, to make a phone call. YIKES! Sending this type of random information to random people is bound to have a few short-term successes, but the vast majority of people will hit the “delete” key without a second thought. YIKES! Here’s the essence of their claim about why training fails: Monotonous: Training was developed based on one or a few individuals experience Overpriced: Too expensive in terms of a financial commitment or human capital requirement No true blended learning solution (Was either too much online or in the classroom) Unaccountability: Was not being supported, tracked or reinforced by management Learning wasn’t being tied into current business metrics Huh? This information is not only totally inaccurate; it’s also dangerous. And buzzwords like blended learning and business metrics without explanation are as empty as the results will be for the people that take this type of training. Can someone please tell me what a business metric is anyway? REALITY: I just did a four-day, 23-hour marathon boot camp and had 100% of the people paying 100% attention, 100% of the time. The attendees paid plenty, got 100 times their money’s worth (captured in video testimonial), and didn’t care about blending, metrics or any other convenient training buzzword. What they got was value. What they got was real world. 16

What they got was new information. What they got was immediately applicable. And that’s what they were hoping for. The reality is, the new world of learning requires much more than rhetoric to be effective. It requires a series of elements that MUST be present, or the training won’t produce the results that senior management is hoping for. It’s not about opinion. It’s not about buzzwords that no one can understand, let alone relate to. Today’s training is about using voice of customer, value transference, emotional engagement, and understandable concepts that can be converted into sales. Money. Here are the uncompromising elements that training must include: •T he world-class, real-world expertise of the trainer – one or many • Acceptability of the trainer to the students. • Willingness of the students to learn and apply. •R elatable ideas and concepts transferred to each participant. • Proven strategies – no theory or pie in the sky. • I ndividual elements of the selling process that don’t manipulate – a process, not a system. •R eal-world personalized information in harmony with the market and the customer. •T ransferable concepts that learners agree with and can see themselves doing •A learning environment that encourages students to succeed. •A ctionable elements that can be used immediately and successfully. •T imed, online, easily accessible, reinforcement that exists beyond the classroom lessons. •U sing the voice of the customer to reinforce the lesson and salespeople belief

TVH: Making great strides with customer focus In 1969, TVH got its start in Belgium when Paul Thermote and Paul Vanhalst began maintaining and selling machinery for agriculture and construction, as well as for forklift trucks. In the near half century that followed, TVH has maintained its Belgian roots while also growing into a global company – doing business in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia – all while building an inventory of over 8 million parts and a name well-known across industrial equipment industries. It has been an ongoing growth pattern that one company leader says is driven by multiple factors: acquisitions of various sizes, organic growth, engaged employees, and a company vision that includes a willingness to expand. “We never say 'no' to a good opportunity. If there are opportunities to enlarge our product offering, we would certainly look into that,” said Dirk von Holt, vice president of marketing and sales for TVH Parts Corp. in the U.S., when asked about whether the future years may hold new avenues of expansion or acquisitions. TVH products are used in equipment like forklifts, aerial work platforms, sweepers, floor scrubbers and personnel and burden carriers. The company also boasts an extensive collection of custom-machined products and manufactured and assembled goods, according to the business website. The growth of TVH in North America largely followed the acquisition of Systems Material Handling Co. in 2003. “For the North America market that was a significant breakthrough,” said von Holt, in a phone interview with Material Handling Wholesaler. The acquisition of IMC Holdings Inc. in 2006 was also a major growth point, according to von Holt. Yet although it offers much diversity in product and service offerings, TVH has a fairly specific customer profile. “We sell only through companies servicing the industries. Distributions, parts distributors, independent service companies,” said von Holt, who 20

www.MHWmag.com

July 2017

explained it is TVH's customers who work with end users. In the Americas, von Holt said TVH has affiliates in Canada, Mexico and Brazil. He said company leaders are generally staying out of recent political discussions regarding changes to NAFTA and other American trade systems. “In general, we are not that much affected by” those proposed changes,” he said, “We do still source the majority of our parts locally.” TVH has about 1,000 employees in the Americas and 5,400 worldwide. The company is still headquartered in Belgium and is family-owned, now in its second generation of leadership. von Holt said company leaders work to utilize synergies in processes and sorting parts when possible, but also account for market differences in business operations. “The European market has been developing differently regarding equipment,” he said, citing one example. TVH therefore is structured so each region is responsible for its own area to account for such differences, including culture, according to von Holt. In the U.S., TVH has a large number of distribution centers close to the customers. With more than 90% of the industries’ truck population within one-day ground service, TVH offers an elevated level of service. This kind of proximity is widely expected, and is a business practice that von Holt said predates the fast shipping now expected in the consumer markets. “It has been there for some time already. It's getting enforced now and is of higher importance,” von Holt said. It is the type of service TVH's customers value. “Thanks to the local warehouses, we can get the orders really fast,” said Eric Rowlett, of Westminster Lift Trucks, in a testimonial on TVH's website. “Even if we order them overnight, the orders reach us the next day, which obviously speeds up our work pace,” he said. In the U.S., TVH strives to be as involved as possible in the local communities it serves through a variety of service efforts.

Manufacturers of Electrical Contacts, Contact Kits & Contactors

For customers, TVH offers education programs both online and in-house to assist with training. TVH has been “making great strides forward” in all of these areas, and will continue to stress the importance of customer service going forward, von Holt said. “I think our customers are realizing that, and that the growth which we have had is also the result of the focus on the customer,” he said.

Let’s get honest about resumes It turns out a lot of people lie on their resumes. If you work in HR, recruiting, or some other aspect of talent acquisition, this probably isn’t a surprise. It works like this: you post your open position along with a list of qualifications, would-be applicants see the list and realize they aren’t qualified, and—voilà!—a resume with invented credentials materializes. Works like a charm! Actually, it doesn’t work like a charm, especially in the internet age when it’s so easy to investigate people’s work history and track down their LinkedIn and Facebook contacts. But given the disconnect between what companies need and what job-seekers think companies need, a bit of resume padding is bound to happen. We’re not talking about Frank Abagnale-level falsehoods. There’s no excuse to invent degrees that were never earned from universities that were never attended. But some applicants might bend the truth about the duties

of a former position to sound more like the duties of the position they want… and end up getting burned for it. They probably don’t realize that a lot of companies are posting ideal qualifications rather than a stone-cold list of skill demands. An impressive candidate is worth an investment in training to fill a few gaps. What would help both sides—applicants, so they don’t feel compelled to compromise their ethics and risk further damaging their chances at meaningful employment, and employers, so they don’t have to clog the system interviewing unqualified people and authenticating resume claims—is a paradigm shift. A paradigm shift in the way the hiring works. Small aim for a blog post, eh? Yes, a paradigm shift that takes the emphasis away from “You need (an arbitrary) 5-7 years of experience carving lettuce, selling insurance to goat herders, and designing integrated circuits” and toward diversifying teams and looking at people’s motivation and potential. For example, research shows that conscientiousness is a (partial) predictor of job success in many roles. Good interpersonal dynamics are often a success factor too, as is learning agility, and so on. Job seekers are under pressure to customize their resumes to suit the jobs they are seeking, and this pressure comes from the business world itself. This same business world scrutinizes those resumes to identify the fine line between customization and embellishment. If we all show some learning agility and adapt our thinking about what makes a good job candidate, we might see fewer white lies on resumes and more candidates who are confident in their intrinsic abilities to handle the challenges of the jobs that are out there for the taking.

North American robotics market surges North American robotics companies posted the strongest ever first-quarter results, according to the Robotic Industries Association (RIA), the industry’s trade group. Both robot orders and shipments achieved record levels. An all-time high total of 9,773 robots valued at approximately $516 million were ordered from North American robotics companies during the first quarter of 2017. This represents growth of 32 percent in units over the same period in 2016, which held the previous record. Order revenue grew 28 percent over the first quarter of last year. Robot shipments also reached new heights, with 8,824 robots valued at $494 million shipped to North American customers in the opening quarter of the year. This represents growth of 24 percent in units and five percent in dollars over the same period in 2016. “The automation industry continues to grow robustly as companies invest to increase productivity and boost competitiveness while also providing opportunities for workers,” said Jeff Burnstein, President of RIA. www.robotics.org

CLARK supports centennial year Habitat for Humanity home

Raymond donates forklifts to support needs of American Red Cross

CLARK Material Handling Company announced that its fund-raising efforts to support a dedicated Habitat for Humanity house have exceeded target goals. The company which began fund raising for this initiative in November of 2015 has been a traditional participant in Habitat builds. This is the first time the company has solely funded a Habitat home. The build which began on March 29, 2017 is scheduled to be completed June 10th. Alan Sutherland, Public Relations Manager for CLARK notified employees at a company meeting on April 20th that because of their fund-raising efforts CLARK had in fact exceeded its financial target to complete the build. Said Sutherland, “I cannot thank our employees enough. They have been so focused on this effort. We have washed cars, held countless raffles and asked for all loose change. To meet our goal is so wonderful; to exceed our goal is a blessing. The company and our people have been “all-in” for this project since day one. To know that we are making a positive difference for a local family is very satisfying to all of us.”

The Raymond Corporation and its authorized network of Sales & Service Centers are donating 11 lift trucks to support the needs of 10 American Red Cross warehouses across the United States. New and renewed designs of Raymond® Model 8210 walkie pallet trucks will help streamline operations, so each facility can continue serving their communities. The walkie trucks will be used to move and transport emergency supplies, water and other necessities within each Red Cross warehouse. “When the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN), a network that supports logistics requests for unmet needs of relief organizations, reached out to obtain assistance for a number of our American Red Cross warehouses, Raymond was more than happy to see how they could help,” said Rosie Taravella, American Red Cross, Western and Central New York Regional Chief Executive Officer. “We are grateful to Raymond and its network of Sales & Service Centers for being able to meet the needs of our regional warehouses.” www.raymondcorp.com

Hyster to electrify big trucks Testing is underway on high capacity lift trucks with electric motors. The scale of electric powered vehicles is about to take a giant leap as Hyster Company announces that testing is underway on high capacity lift trucks with electric motors. The company suggests that, in the near future, ports and heavy industry will be able to electrify their Big Truck fleets, producing zero emissions while achieving comparable full shift performance. “The Hyster® brand is synonymous with heavy duty trucks, so we are the natural candidate to champion this new generation of large electric trucks,” says Brett Schemerhorn, President Big Trucks, Americas for Hyster. “Using a modular approach and innovative technology, applications will soon have maximum flexibility when selecting trucks to provide the best zero emissions solution for their needs.” “The modular approach to the design will allow flexibility in the onboard power source,” he continues. “Initial introductions are likely to be based on lithium-ion batteries. However, through our relationship with Nuvera Fuel Cells, we expect that implementation of hydrogen fuel cells will be achieved in the next phase. Hydrogen fuel cells will allow for rapid refueling, increased productivity and longer run time between refills.” To help heavy industry and ports maintain a low total cost of ownership, Hyster pioneered profitable low emissions with Tier 4 / Stage IV diesel engines on its Big Truck range. It is now leading the industry by developing solutions to enable applications to move from profitable low emissions, to profitable zero emissions using electric trucks. To drive efficiency and manage costs, the new electric trucks will be built to match the needs of the specific application. Previously the duty cycle of the application drove the power output determination, including factors such as engine power, tractive effort, load capacity and speed. www.hyster.com

Users simply insert E-HOOK’s patented brackets into the track slots and slide them down until they are securely seated. www.kinedyne.com

Latest Skullerz® model is low on cost, high on quality

New finish for versatile hoist range is environment optimized

Ergodyne introduced a new single lens model to its Skullerz® sfety glasses line. Sköll provides all the same safety features as the other Norse God-named, high-performance Skullerz® models at an exceptional value. Like all Skullerz® safety glasses, Sköll meets the MIL-PRF 32342 Ballistic Impact protection requirements, providing more than four times the level of protection required by occupational standards. “Many jobsites are swimming in cheap, throw-away safety glasses,” said Jim Grider, product manager, Ergodyne. “Sköll is high-quality, safety eyewear that’ll make you feel good about what you’re giving your employees without busting your budget.”

J D Neuhaus (JDN) is implementing a new Hydro Coating on its industryleading hoist range. The coating not only enhances quality and appearance, but is far more environmentally friendly. JDN takes its corporate and social responsibilities extremely seriously, and moving from a standard hammer finish to the Hydro Coating will contribute to sustainable protection of the environment. In fact, the new Hydro Coating features a percentage of organic solvents that is less than 3%, which is significantly more environmentallyfriendly than the former hammer finish. In addition, the coating is silicone-free, which means no wetting failures, an important consideration for automotive or coating plants. www.jdngroup.com

J.W. Winco introduces metric size aluminum mounting clamps J.W. Winco, Inc., supplier of standard industrial machine components, announced it now offers GN 784 Metric Size, Aluminum Mounting Clamps with Swivel Ball Joint. The GN 784 aluminum mounting clamps, which are RoHS compliant, allow precise and variable adjustment of the ball pivot within the rotation range. This is a particular advantage when adjusting scanners, cameras, lighting, monitors, etc. Due to the efficient clamping mechanism, only small amounts of torque with the clamping screw result in comparatively strong clamping pressure on the ball, as the force is easily applied by the clamping lever. www.jwwinco.com

Conveyor solutions to move full cases of beer Multi-Conveyor LLC recently provided a series of conveyor systems for the reconfiguration of an existing full case transportation line at a major brewery in the Midwest. The original system was a mild steel constructed belt driven live roller conveyor. Multi-Conveyor worked with the customer's engineers to add three diverters and several general transport conveyors to divert multiple lines of cased product to a variety of palletizing machines. The incline and decline conveyor were equipped with friction top belt to keep positive contact with the product during the 15° elevation change. www.multi-conveyor.com
