Worldwide Success of Intertraffic Confirmed
later? One way to figure that is to simply keep adding an hour until the number of cars in the lot generates less money than the attendant on duty. For instance – let’s assume 30 cars are in the garage at 11. You stay open until midnight and 15 cars leave – you collect $225. Certainly covers the attendant. You then stay open until 1 a.m. and another 12 cars leave – that’s $180 more. But there are only three cars left – the $45 may not be worth another hour; plus, there’s no guarantee that all will leave by 2 a.m. The owner had another concern: What about overtime? Now he would be paying time-and-a-half or double-time. I asked what his shifts were. He said he had three cashiers on 7-3 and the two-person night crew 311. My solution: “You might have one come on at 6 and work until 2, a second come on at 9 and work ‘til 5, and one regular one from 8 to 4. Then you could have one of your night crew start at 3 and work ‘til 11, and the other start at 5 and work until 1. No overtime and everything is covered.” Then I got to thinking – why close the garage at all? If you have one cashier on until 1 a.m. and another starting at 6, there are only five hours when the garage is closed. Now you might not get a lot of action between 1 and 6; however, that cashier could double as your maintenance person. Have him clean up the trash, sweep the garage (it’s better when the place is empty anyway), wash the windows and provide general maintenance. Just close the gate and put a buzzer there or a button connected to a pager the cashier can wear. He can then come back to the gate to handle any issues that arise when he is out of the booth. The maintenance staff you have on during the day can then be used elsewhere, and the extra person actually cost you nothing. There were also a lot of missing tickets in the garage, and of course the cashiers blamed this on the open exit gates after-hours. My solution solves this problem as well, because there would be no missing tickets during an audit. See what you can discover when you stay out late? ! *ew N PT Worldwide Success of Intertraffic Confirmed The global Intertraffic brand continues to go from strength to strength. Intertraffic North America, Sept. 26-29 in Baltimore, is sold out for exhibitors and expects more than 2,000 attendees. The event, which marks a first for organizer Amsterdam RAI in this market, is a joint venture with the Parking Industry Exhibition, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association and the RAI. With preparations now fully underway for the largest of these exhibitions -- Intertraffic Amsterdam in April 2006 -- organizers Amsterdam RAI report encouraging results from the most recent trade fairs. Intertraffic Eurasia, held May 18-20 in Istanbul, capitalized on the regional upswing to reinforce its position as the major international event for the Balkans and the Middle East. About half of the exhibitors came from outside of Turkey; the 2,150 visitors included some 300 originating from the Balkans, the wider Middle East, Italy and the United Kingdom. The next edition of Intertraffic Eurasia will take place from May 30 to June 1, 2007, at the Istanbul Convention & Exhibition Centre. Intertraffic Asia 2005, June 14-17 in Bangkok, was held in partnership with the 15th World Road Congress of the International Road Federation, which contributed to making the event a resounding success. Bangkok's International Trade and Exhibition Centre hosted the bustling exhibition, which was spread over some 21,500 square feet of exhibition space, twice the size of the previous edition. Visitors to Intertraffic Asia 2005 comprised 2,350 professionals and industry players, plus 822 conference delegates from around the world. Some 79 percent of the visitor total came from Asia, including a large contingent from China. In post-show surveys, 85 percent expressed their intention to return to the next Intertraffic exhibition, and 89 percent of the exhibitors were impressed with the quality of the visitors.

On the other end was a manager, who, while attempting to help a customer, found that he needed a little extra guidance and support. The manager felt as if he had done as much as he could, but he still wanted to double-check to see if there was another way in which to assist the customer. This process, to some of us, is called creative problem-solving and is, obviously, a critical part of providing quality customer service. Eventually, between the manager and myself (in addition to I contacting two other colleagues), we were not only able to help the customer with his needs, but we also put in place a process should we encounter the same situation in the future. However, creative problem-solving is not what this article is about. Instead, it focuses on the manager’s roles in service organizations, which ultimately provides quality customer service. In the above situation, there were two other possible decisions, among several, which were not considered. One possibility was that the manager could have just said, “I’m sorry, but there really is nothing else we can do.” Or, secondly, I personally could Set Your Parking Problems on Cruise Control PARC/S is a Windows NT-based program allowing you to manage parking access and revenue control from your computer.

That is, after all, what you are being paid for.” I’m proud to say that the reason these two possible decisions were not considered is because our organization strives to provide quality customer service. Quality customer service could be defined as the ability of an organization to constantly and consistently exceed the customer's expectations. This not only subtly pleases the customer, but puts “you” in a very impressive position. However, when an organization places this desire/emphasis on quality customer service, there comes with it an array of responsibilities for all managers involved. These responsibilities require more than just “an eighthour-shift attitude.” In an effort to be a tad bit more clear, let’s define three important elements of customer service. The American Heritage Dictionary office edition defines 1. “Customer” as one who buys goods or services, especially on a regular basis. 2. “Service” as the act or means of serving. Duties performed as an occupation. 3. And “emotion” as agitation of the passions or sensibilities.

Put all together, we now understand that customer service is an organization's vehicle to assuage their customer’s anxiety and satisfy their wants and needs with the service provided. My point in the above trilogy is that every employee and manager must constantly focus on a quality customer service attitude. Point taken, but much easier said than done. Upper management, especially the leader in any organization/company, must do this not only in the workplace, but also outside the workplace. I firmly believe there is no other way. Now, before you write to the editor with your “what about my personal life, family, etc.,” just hear me out. I am not saying that work must be the most important aspect of a manager’s life when employed in a service industry. I personally have two young sons with whom I have participated in all of their extracurricular activities. I am simply trying to state that when an upper manager’s standard is to provide quality customer service, they must be the role model whom others look up to. If you totally disagree with that statement, it would be wise for you to read no further or you will inevitably be screaming, “They should have done this” to each situation about to be described. For the record, perhaps there is some credence to the phrases this could have been done or that could have been done; however, there is no “shoulda, coulda, woulda” in providing quality customer service. Clear and simple, you either did or did not. Let’s take the situation of the parking manager employed by a quality hotel that offers self-parking as well as valet parking. The hotel was hosting a huge gala, which Circle #179 on Reader Service Card - See us at the PIE Booth #1330 Circle #220 on Reader Service Card - See us at the PIE Booth #939 52 September 2005 • Parking Today • www.parkingtoday.com was nothing out of sorts, but for some reason, the hotel management noted that this event had to be operated even better than the normal huge events. The manager makes it a habit of constantly talking and walking a quality customer service environment to his assistant managers and frontline employee. Due to a family emergency, the manager could not work this particular event (as he normally would). However, while not physically present, he made it a point to call several times in an effort to check on the operation. This action was simply to let everyone know that he cared about the way things were being handled in his absence, especially with an event of this magnitude. Another manager, while on vacation, always checks his e-mail and calls his assistant managers. Sure, this takes time away from his vacation, but that time is minute compared with the benefits gained by his actions. Yet another manager takes the newer assistant managers out after work for a beer every so often. There is no hidden agenda in doing this; he does it because it shows how he treats his colleagues outside of business hours, as well as how he treats them “on the job.” A separation? Of course! However, taking one’s concerns into account after the 5 o’clock whistle blows can make a huge difference, as well as contributing to the “team work environment” that every business strives for. I validate this comment with the following past experience. I had worked for a parking organization that divided its city into two areas. The managers in one of the areas always used to get together for a beer every Thursday. The attitude was that if you could make it, great; if not, there was always next week. I must admit that at least 50 percent of the managers made it every week and surprisingly enough, once a month all the managers showed up. The kicker was that at the locations from which these managers operated, they continually out-shone and out-performed their counterparts. The lesson to be learned from this tale is that in order to be a successfully effective leader/manager in the service industry, you have to involve your life outside of work. Let’s face it, someone has to take a leadership role when it comes to working in the service industry, and whether or not your place of business delivers quality customer service is a direct reflection of your approach and your attitude. Bottom line. No other way. I consider myself to be a fairly educated man; however, throughout my studies, I remember no class that pertained to “what it takes to make it” in the service industry. The “make it” part I refer to is a combination of people skills, along with time and effort, and last but not least, dedication. Making it in the service industry is not easy; it takes hard work, perseverance and a tremendous amount of flexibility. However, one can be assured that the rewards, both financially and personally, will come. Because when it comes to the service industry, there really aren’t a lot who get it, are there?

The Sioux Steam Cleaner Corp., the industry leader of application-specific pressure washers, steam cleaners and steam generators, recently introduced the S2D250 GTTM You've spotted them everywhere -those unsightly carpet pieces wrapped with duct tape around parking garage poles as frustrated motorists try to find some way to protect their cars from close encounters. Now car owners, building owners and property management companies are discovering the Pole Roll, a high-tech and highly durable approach to auto body and garage pole protection. The Pole Roll is a thin, flexible, closed-cell foam padding housed inside a tough but attractive, weather-resistant cover. With its light, flexible, spaceage material, the Pole Roll easily attaches to underground parking garage and carport poles and columns to ensure maximum protection for your automobile and your garage. Just wrap it around a pole next to your parking spot, fasten the built-in Velcro straps, and lock the product into place with the two locks provided. That's all it takes to prevent the surface damage, frustration and repair bills caused by poles and columns when you park your car. Weed Eradication System. The Weed Blaster applies low-pressure steam to the leaves of unwanted vegetation. Plants have a waxy surface covering their leaves and protecting cells that aid in photosynthesis. The S2D250 GTTM will deliver 2 GPM of steam at 320°F and 250 PSI, melting the protective wax. This process halts photosynthesis without using chemicals or disturbing the soil. The steam can be applied with the standard steam nozzle, the steam rake or a fan nozzle. A common mounting option is on a trailer with a water tank for use at remote locations. Simple to operate, the Weed Blaster provides reliable, trouble-free service.

The auto-spike system is designed to provide increased traffic lane control in applications where bollards or crash barriers are not practical. Parking lot operations are constantly on the lookout for vehicles being stolen from their lots, patrons running checkout booths, etc. Crash bollards and barriers disable these vehicles, but often the vehicle itself becomes severely damaged. In addition, crash barriers and bollards are expensive and difficult to install. The DoorKing auto-spike system provides a simple, easy-to-install, cost-effective method to control traffic exiting or entering a lot, and will disable the vehicle by flattening its tires if an unauthorized exit occurs. The barrier gate operator and auto-spikes work in synchronization, so that the spikes are always in the up position when the barrier arm is down and in the down position when the barrier arm is up. A mechanical linkage between the operator and spike unit ensures the integrity of this synchronization.
