Carl Weaver M. Dyer & Sons Inc. Membership Services Coordinator George Cooper Ayana Singhateh Australian Vanlines Layout/Design/Editor: Joyce Dexter HEADLINES Things Happen! xperiencing loss and damage during the movement of household goods and other Ecargo is inevitable. Even if you have the best packers and loaders and employ the most modern and innovative crating and shipping techniques—things happen. Our industry’s shipments are sometimes exposed to a variety of circumstances no one can predict or totally control—such as truck accidents, severe weather, ships collid- ing/sinking, port strikes, work stoppages, civil strife and yes, even war. As Portal Editor Joyce Dexter observes in her lead story, bad things sometimes happen to good movers. It’s how we as movers respond after loss or damage occurs that can set us apart. Having worked in and with the industry for almost 50 years, I have seen brochures and advertisements for thousands of movers, but rarely if ever have I seen a company boast that their claims department and after-loss/damage service sets them apart from other moving companies. It’s just not an aspect of the moving process our industry has chosen to promote—but maybe we should. In our industry’s marketing materials and during the pre-move selling conversa- tion with the customer we typically get around to talking about liability and insurance. But the elephant in the room, which few salespersons focus on, is what the mover, its insurance adjusters, claims servicing company and repair or restoration firms can do for the customer once a loss occurs. Nobody wants to talk about it, but we all know things happen. Any moving company owner or manager understands the impact that cashing out TERRY R. HEAD claims can have on the profitability of a given shipment, and the importance of financial IAM President losses due to claims with respect to a company’s year-end balance sheet. This is why we work so hard to minimize claims in the first place. Now, the industry is coming to recognize the growing role of timely and proper servicing of loss and damage claims in retaining accounts, as well as generating repeat customers and referrals. When I was in business my company always placed a lot of emphasis on our claims settlement process, and as a result we often heard, “I’m choosing to move with you again because of how you handled our claim.” In this age of social media, and thanks to the increasing use of post-move surveys to gauge customer satisfaction, claim servicing has gained a new prominence in our industry. For that very reason this issue highlights some of the IAM members and other industry stakeholders whose primary business is to support movers in addressing loss and damage claims and make the customer not only whole again—but happy! I think you will learn a lot about some new innovative methods to reduce and man- age risk, minimize losses and perhaps even gain a new appreciation for how these types of companies help both maintain your company’s reputation and benefit your bottom line. In addition to presenting this exploration of claims and risk management, this issue features a host of other great articles and information that you’re sure to find interesting. Rob Farone, IAM’s regional relations liaison for Asia, discusses the anticipated impact of the United States’ “pivot to Asia” and the growing importance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) with respect to global trade and ultimately interna- tional mobility and moving. Of special note is the article by IAM Director of Programs Brian Limperopulos, wherein he shares preliminary findings from the2015 State of the Industry Survey that IAM conducted earlier this year. Take a moment to review the survey results to see how your company might be faring compared to your fellow members and competitors. And finish up by reading about promotions, new hires and company expansions at IAM member companies—all developments that bode well for the health of our busi- nesses as we approach the busy summer season. 8 May/June 2015 • THE PORTAL IAM: Moving Forward Together By land, air or sea, the DeWitt Companies MAKE IT EASY EASY AFFORDABLE SAFE Our experienced staff and Our rates are competitive, Your shipments are kept personalized service makes moving and our outstanding service safe and secure no matter shipments simple and easy. is unmatched. how far they’re going.
