Boast About Your Successes

How often do you boast about your company’s successes? You need to share the good stories with everyone. Your potential customers need to find out what your capabilities are and how good you are at what you do. We recently added a ‘Case Study’ section to our web site. This allows us to tell others all about the success stories that have helped our customers.

We particularly like to pick out the most difficult and/or unusual challenges that are brought to us by perspective and existing customers. We try to ‘tell a story’ by explaining all about the challenge and then describe how we resolved the issue. It is fun for us to be telling stories, but also helpful in letting our customers know the breadth of our capabilities at the same time.

Share Your Successes

At NEM we make an effort to share our successes with our entire employee base. When our customers compliment us on a job well done, or say some encouraging words about our machinery, we make sure to share it with everyone. We have a regular internal newsletter that allows us to pass on the latest rave reviews we have received.

It is encouraging to individuals (whose job tasks might prevent them from meeting our customers for themselves) to know that the end result of their work is a satisfied customer. We also send out e-mails to the entire company with all good news that comes our way throughout the day.

Find ways in your company to communicate good news to everyone. We all need that little shot of encouragement from time to time to be reassured that we all make a difference.

Take the Best and Make It Better – Retrofit Packages

We are embarking on a new product line this year that will help all of our customers. We decided to create ‘retrofit packages’ for our existing machines out in the field. New England Machinery’s continual improvement policy has born some really great new changes with updated technologies for our machines. We now want to offer customers who have older models the ability to upgrade to some of these new functionalities.

We have just announced the beginning of our retrofit packages and our customers are excited to learn that they can improve performance or functionality on their existing machines. The first package we released (an adjustable inner orienter spacer) will shorten the changeover time on our unscramblers. This retrofit is capable of being added to all existing unscramblers in the field. Our next package will allow the addition of a stack light on any NEM machine when that option was not initially chosen at the time of original sale. More retrofit packages are in the works and will be announced shortly.

We are happy to be able to take our improvements and make them available to customers who may not be able to purchase a new machine but want some of the newer technologies available on their older model. We have a hit on our hands and are excited about this new capability.
