Worldwide Success of Intertraffic Confirmed

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?

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.

comments from a manager
There Is No
was sitting at my desk working diligently on a report
(which had been due the day
before) when the telephone rang.
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

have told the manager, “I am in the
middle of working on an overdue
report, so you need to figure it out for
yourself. 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. A
strong, complex feeling, as of joy,

comments from a manager
from Page 51
sorrow or hate.
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

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?

POLE ROLL SOLVES
DING AND DENT ISSUES
NEW ERADICATION SYSTEM
FOR COMPLETE WEED ELIMINATION!
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.

LOCK ONTO UNPARALLELED SAFETY
WITH BEACON SURE-LOK SYSTEM
Sure-Lok by Beacon is a concealed locking system that affixes
high-mast aluminum and other outdoor area and street lighting poles to
their bases, without breakable welds.
It keeps poles and bases together

Beacon's patented Sure-Lok System allows outdoor area and streetlighting fixtures to remain stable
and connected sturdily to their bases in heavy traffic and
other "demanding" environments. It offers the better aesthetics of aluminum in place of traditional, heavier steel
poles in any commercial, industrial or municipal environ.

lighting type or size of fixture on streets, roadways, tunnel or bridge ramps; in renovated downtown or waterfront areas; on corporate grounds; in public and private
parks and recreation areas; universities; shopping plazas;
and entertainment complexes.

DOORKING
INTRODUCES
AUTO-SPIKE SYSTEM
DoorKing has added a new
auto-spike/barrier gate operator
system to its line of parking control products. 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.
