In times of chaos it is when good ideas emerge: My personal reflection

We are in a moment of pure change that will not leave us indifferent and that will undoubtedly lead us to go through the well-known phases of a business crisis., which will be global.

1. The first phase: THE NEGATION

We have already or are going through, It's about denial of what's happening.. That is why we see many people who do not take the necessary preventive measures or who even continue to think that this is nothing..

2. The second phase: AWARENESS

When we become aware of the situation, It is that phase in which we enter a state of Shock. We realize the reality that we could be denying and the dimension of the new reality generates a state of Shock in us., that paralyzes us by not being able to control the situation.

3. The third phase: PARALYSIS

We enter paralysis by analysis and by being aware of everything that happens and by seeing the news that bombards us, We enter into a feeling of fear that blocks us and overwhelms us.. Fear is good because it alerts us that something is changing and that we should do something and what we need to do., It is trying to dance with fear so that it does not block us and trying to develop our best plan to emerge stronger from the situation..

4. The fourth phase: BLAME OTHERS

Blame third parties for this entire situation or understand that the situation is what it is and that it is time to take action by executing our plan to emerge stronger or the least harmed by the situation.. At this point I want to talk to you later to be able to help you with ideas that can be carried out..

5. The fifth phase: THE CALM

It is smart to reach this point with a plan that helps you in the most conscious way to make your best decisions in this not easy moment and begin to find opportunities where before you only saw a crisis.. It's a delicate moment, but it is clear that a good attitude with maximum responsibility will take us to a better path and that as a team, It's the best way to get it. In this phase you have to decide if you are going to do something or not do anything and not doing anything is also making a decision..

In our healthy bus book, in the page 67 We already mentioned a phrase by Albert Einstein “Insanity is doing the same thing.”, and again, hoping to get different results”.

What is clear, is that if the business scenario changes, We have to adapt quickly to the new scenario and this battle is won by those who are able to adapt the fastest..

I recently met a neighbor in the doorway who was in a wheelchair.. I asked him what had happened and he told me that he had had a stroke., that he has gone through very hard times and that the doctors and the AMP pickups. I asked him what pills those were to buy at the pharmacy and he answered: 

“Claudia, las AMP pickups they mean ACTITUD MENTAL POSITIVE. “These pills have saved my life.”

I don't know you, But I've been wandering around talking to a client., director of a major bus company, about the current global situation caused by the coronavirus overnight and we reached the following conclusion:

  • It has taken us out of our comfort zone.
  • It has altered our days and our routine.
  • It has forced us to close our schools.
  • It has forced us to close our businesses.
  • It has forced us to be confined to our homes.

The coronavirus has forced you to stop your buses and right now your company, like all companies in Spain, we are worried about our families, by our clients, by our team, for the future of our business, …

The coronavirus is a direct attack on people's lives, to social welfare, to mobility and the global economy. It's CHAOS! It is a GLOBAL problem! However, coronavirus is temporary, in fact, talking with scientific friends, his days are numbered, but it's going to leave a mark on usin our habits, in the way we do things and in the way we move. With which, I invite you to let's take a lot of AMP pills. I assure you, that the more we take, better, since they are cheap, Its effects are powerful and there are no contraindications..

Shall we start from NOW?

Transportation is the main protagonist in this crisis, helping to ensure that an entire country with its entire population is not left without essential supplies and guaranteeing minimum passenger services.. They deserve a BIG APPLAUSE for their GREAT HELP!!.

Keep in mind, ON THE ONE HAND passengers want to travel safely. Now they are more aware than ever, there is a general air of concern and they have become super demanding.ON THE OTHER HAND the transport of passengers and goods continues to beVITAL for all citizens, for the economy and for the environment.

Transportation is theENGINE OF THE CURRENT ECONOMY TRANSFORMING MOBILITY INTO WEALTH AND ABUNDANCEROAD TRANSPORTATION MOVES LIVES, ABOUT LIVES, BRINGS GOODS TO people, leaving a mark on people's lives.

with which, from the observatory that we have created at JMB so that together we can overcome this current situation. I fully trust that you and your mobility company, you will be thePROTAGONISTS of this new stage in which together we will be stronger.

We have reflected and we would love for you to join this list of possible ideas to overcome this new situation..

Por that your company is unique. Work on your unique value proposition (PUV). We are not all the same, Each of us has a proposition or several value propositions that make us unique and different.. The commitment to quality, service guarantee, our commitment, our way of serving. Many times I already have the values ​​that make me different, but we do not communicate them to our clients.

7. COMMIT TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

ABC image on the experience of the client buses and coaches

Discover the power of your image in your client #CustomerJourney

«Una imagen vale más que mil palabras» y el que diga lo contrario se equivoca. Tu imagen, la que va rodando junto con tus vehículos por la carretera, es la carta de presentación de tu empresa: no solo refleja tu cultura, tus valores y tus colores, sino también la calidad de tus servicios. Tu imagen habla por sí sola porque todo comunica, todo vende, es tu responsabilidad social.

Soy Claudia Araujo, of jmbgrupo.com, y en este artículo te voy a hablar del poder que ejerce tu imagen en la experiencia del cliente.

Tu imagen es el resultado final de la cultura de empresa. Todo es un proceso interno que va de dentro hacia afuera y en el cual influyen varios factores. Recuerda que todo lo que se ve genera una percepción en tu cliente, con lo cual su experiencia contigo como empresa empieza desde el primer momento en que busca algo que tú ofreces.

Experiencia del cliente antes de conocerte y antes de subir en tu autobús:

A

La primera toma de contacto. Aquí entran factores que van a influir directamente en la experiencia del cliente, como la facilidad de encontrarte (eg, si tu empresa aparece en la primera página de Google), la usabilidad de tu página, la experiencia de navegación, la rapidez con la que encuentra tus servicios, el tiempo de contestación de una llamada y la manera en que respondes, etc.. Si su experiencia en estos primeros pasos no es buena, el cliente no pasará al punto B.

B

La percepción de tu cliente cuando ya está en el bus. En este caso lo que tus clientes tendrán en cuenta serán factores como la limpieza interior y exterior del autobús o el autocar, el servicio que les das y cómo les atiendes, la puntualidad, la atención de tus conductores y cómo van vestidos, la calidad del wifi, cómo solucionas una queja, etc..


Los puntos A y B generan aspectos que mejoran dañan tu imagen.

C

Otros puntos internos que también reflejan y afectan a tu imagen son la organización de tu empresa, la disposición para aportar tu granito de arena en la protección del medioambiente, el hecho de que veles por la seguridad, la formación y el bienestar de tus empleados, que mantengas una relación con tus proveedores en la que todos salís ganando, etc..

En función de cómo los clientes perciban los puntos A, B y C, tendrán sensaciones positivas o negativas. Y el responsable de esta percepción eres tú: de ti depende ofrecer la mejor imagen de tu negocio.

Hoy por hoy, mejorar la capacidad de liderazgo y tener la mente clara para poder fijar y alcanzar objetivos, buscando siempre hacer las cosas lo mejor posible, son tus principales desafíos. Esa búsqueda, como bien sabes, es un aprendizaje continuo. Mientras creces como persona, tu organización también crece contigo.

La imagen de tu empresa es un aspecto estratégico. Si trasladamos este concepto al mundo del autobús y del autocar, vemos que una buena imagen puede transmitir sensaciones positivas, por ejemplo alegría, bienestar, armonía, cultura... Esas sensaciones comienzan por la percepción de un autobús limpio, por el uniforme del chófer, por su trato al recibir a los viajeros y por la limpieza que estos perciben del exterior y en el interior del autocar (y fíjate en que no estoy hablando de si el autobús es nuevo o viejo). Actually, el viajero recibe en esos primeros momentos una impresión global que se crea a partir de todos los pequeños detalles. So, si en esos pequeños aspectos le ofreces una imagen correcta, tu cliente valorará positivamente tu empresa.

El cuidado de esta imagen se debe hacer de forma responsable y con una planificación interna que quede reflejada en el exterior. ¿Has oído ese dicho de que nuestro interior se proyecta en nuestro exterior? Lo mismo pasa con las empresas.

Es responsabilidad tuya, como empresario, velar por tus empleados y dotarlos de herramientas que los ayuden en sus tareas. A la hora lavar los vehículos, los empleados deben saber cómo optimizar los recursos disponibles para sacar el mejor partido a su tiempo laboral y evitar gastos innecesarios. Además, si ellos están satisfechos con su trabajo, serán tu mejor carta de presentación, pues las personas que constituyen tu empresa son tu principal pilar.

Empieza ya a marcar la diferencia en todos los aspectos a través del poder de tu imagen.

Washing buses and coaches: 10 steps to save water

If you have buses, minibuses or coach, In this article you will find 10 Simple recommendations that will make your company save a lot of water in washing your vehicles.

The water, In addition to being an essential element for life, It is also to clean a bus or a coach. However, If you wash your vehicles with little criteria and without the right tools, You will be waste this scarce and wasting time and money.

Remember: If it's good for your company, It will be even better for you.

In my more than 20 Years of experience in the sector, I have had the opportunity to visit large and small businesses of bus and coaches, and, From what I have observed in them, I have created a decalogue to help you save water in washing your vehicles.


Take note:

  1. 1
    Avoid cleaning an entire bus by hand. It has been shown that with this procedure hundreds of liters of water, a lot of time is lost and the environment is damaged. And let's not talk about the physical effort that requires and its consequences: fatigue, Labor casualties, fines, lack of motivation in the template, etc..
  2. 2
    Avoid clarifying a bus with the water hose. The use of the hose is not recommended for washing or for the clarified. If you did, You would be making a serious mistake for the same reasons of the previous point.
  3. 3
    Have everything at hand in the washing area. Both water intake and cleaning instruments must be at hand and under control. This way you will save unnecessary trips and waste of time by having to go looking for what you need at all times.
  4. 4
    Use the right tool to stop wasting water. The use of the independent monobrush, either electric or autonomous, it is an invaluable help. The JMB single-brush is the only tool on the market that manages to wash a vehicle in 2 minutes with just 45 liters of water.
  5. 5
    Develop a step-by-step cleaning process. Before moving on to the JMB single brush, it is convenient to clean those parts that the machine does not reach, such as wheels or hard-to-reach corners. This task should not take more than 5 minutes.
  6. 6
    The washing area must always be clean and uncluttered.. Think about the possible accidents that you can cause if there are objects on the floor or if it is stained with grease, For example.
  7. 7
    If you are a fan of soap, please, always use phosphate-free detergents that are biodegradable and that take care of the bodywork of your vehicle. Always ask for the technical and safety data sheet of the product. Think that the use of inappropriate soap can damage the paint of your vehicle and the environment. Despite this, my advice is to wash your bus or coach without soap.
  8. 8
    In summer or when the weather is good, if you use soap, prevents it from drying out during the cleaning process. If you wash outside and the sun is very strong, don't use soap; if you consider it essential, wash and rinse half the vehicle first and, then, the other half.
  9. 9
    Use a non-foaming soap. More foam is not going to make the bus cleaner, Well, this will depend on the properties of your soap and the dirt, not the foam.If you use a very concentrated soap or if you do not have the correct mixture indicated by the manufacturer, the only thing you will do is create an excess of foam that will be difficult to remove later. And this translates into a waste of water, of time and in more waste for the environment.
  10. 10
    set somedefined quality standards and processes in relation to SAFETY, the ENVIRONMENT and QUALITY.

Begin as soon as possible to put into practice the advice of this decalogue, They will allow you to save a lot of water, time and money. If you like, You can print it and pass it to all those in charge of washing vehicles in your company.

Y, If your idea is to go further and implant a high performance washing system in your company,
