A MESSAGE FROM JERRY
Leaders,
This month we will be looking closely at the Delta Core Value – “We Take Care of Our Customers.”
Before diving into this core value, and what it means to Delta, I want first to identify “Our Customers”. I believe, “Our Customers” are:
1. Individuals or Organizations with whom we are contracted to provide goods and services 2. Individuals within our Organization with whom we provide information, support, and leadership. For Example: A Designer is expected to provide quality documents to the Field Technician for installation. The Field Technician is then responsible for submitting that paperwork to an Administrator. The Branch Leader strives to meet the needs of those they lead. 3. Individuals, Groups, or Organizations with whom we encounter while representing Delta Fire Systems. For Example: Driving in a company vehicle we encounter other drivers and pedestrians; Working on a jobsite we encounter other subcontractors and vendors; Eating out with our family while wearing Delta Fire apparel, we encounter other people “There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money elsewhere.” – Sam Walton
Honestly, I think this value is the simplest to understand, yet the one we seem to struggle with the most.
At Delta Fire Systems, “Taking Care of Our Customers” means delivering on our promises with care, commitment, dedication, and dependability.
• Finding out “what matters most” to our customers and delivering it. • Doing what we say we will do o How we say we will do it o When we say we will do it o For the price agreed upon • Throwing in a little extra to show our appreciation • Doing what’s right even if it hurts • Our focus can often be inward instead of outward o “I don’t feel like it” o “I don’t have time” o “It’s someone else’s job” o “Why should I?” o “They don’t get me what I need!” o “They don’t appreciate it” • We do not take the time to understand what our customer needs • We forget that we are driving a company vehicle • We forget that we are wearing company gear
That seems easy enough, right? So why is it seemingly a struggle for us? I believe we struggle with this value for many reasons:
How do we measure success when it comes to living this value, “We Take Care of our Customers” ? Success is measured when our customer walks away thinking, “Wow, I love doing business with Delta Fire Systems. I want to maintain a lasting relationship, and I want to tell others about the experience”. So, the next time you are interacting with a customer, take a minute to ask yourself, “Am I doing all that I can to serve this customer best? How can I serve them better?”
Jerry
DELTA VALUES: WE TAKE CARE OF OUR CUSTOMERS
▪
We do what we say “I want to thank you and your crew for another awesome job at AMWTP! We had a lot to accomplish this year with the annual and 5-year inspections on 15 systems in WMF-676 and we got through it with flying colors. As you know this build is very complex with lots of obstacles. Tyler Miller and Jamie Conley came through prompt and professional. They both worked very hard on this huge inspection cycle” We go the extra mile “ I was on the phone with our customer Lisa Groen for the Irvin Cabin . I know this job has been a headache for us, but it turns out we made it simple and easy for her. She extends her appreciations and compliments; we’ve been responsive, provided knowledge, and education, and have been pleasant to work with. These homeowners are not just building a cabin at the moment, but also renovating their basement in the Salt Lake City Home. Out of all the contractors they are currently working with, she is grateful for us for making life a little bit easier for them” We make it personal “Nice job team! This is a small contribution to our battle for residential fire sprinkler systems . The more home owners that have this experience, the more home owners there will be to give us the opportunity to save what they value most. I am grateful to all of you for your hard work and good attitudes” We are reliable “I felt impressed today to let you know how grateful we are in St George for Robyn Hershgold’s assistance to our branch. When it comes to HR matters many of us have reached out to her for changes, clarifications, and Staffright topics. She greets those with friendliness, confidence, and solid solutions. She’s informative, and confident, in her position and it is appreciated” We are a solutions provider “ Thank you again for helping the Wasatch Electric crews and HFC WX trouble shoot / brain storm the auto on function of the Fire Water Pumps today, it was good to progress to this point prior to the flow testing. Delta Fire is an integral part of our Fixed Fire Protection Program here at Holly Frontier and your efforts do not go unnoticed. I truly believe you have the best team around, it’s been a pleasure working with your group. I look forward to testing the deluge systems tomorrow” “ Vince , as usual I can’t thank you enough. What a great finale to our camp. I hope you’re up for next year. Likely August 3 rd . Call me Monday if there is a problem picking up the trailer. Thanks again”

“I wanted to send a quick note to let you know how helpful both Nichole and Travis have been in the weeks leading up to and since the 7/1 Go Live. They have been extremely supportive of AFPG and Security when questions come up in the accounting world. They are both experts in AX, but more than that they are gracious and generous in their willingness to assist when necessary. I know I can speak for both companies when I say their help has made a huge difference”
“As always, it’s been a pleasure working with your team”

Safety Highlight
It’s Up to You
Last month we lost a brother.
An employee at a sister company lost his life to a workplace incident. It was not a huge, dramatic incident but the result was a 19-year-old man lost his life . I hope we all have taken a few minutes and really given this some thought. His family has lost a son, and a brother. Everything from this time forward that life has to offer has been taken from him. It makes us realize just how fragile life is . So what can we do going forward? We can intentionally work safe so this does not happen to anyone else. Any injury is too much. We as human beings have a built-in thought process that tells us bad things happen to other people, not us. We accept risk when it is inconvenient to do what is right, we accept risk if we are in a hurry. It is so important that we do the right thing all the time every day, at work and at home. I fear some of us only do the right thing when we think people are watching . We talk about being committed to zero. Are we really Committed to Zero or is it just something that we say, instead of something that we do? It needs to be our culture; the way we do things. Our Values are, Take Care of each other, Take Care of the Customer, Strive for Excellence, and No Distractions. Are they really our values? Do we believe in them and intentionally live up to them each day? Jerry is writing an article in the newsletter each month about our values. Take to heart what he says. We have great people at Delta, and you are the ones that have to decide; Will you live our values, are you committed to zero? We provide a lot of equipment, we do a lot of training, we have some great opportunities, but at the end of the day it comes down to each employee intentionally working safe and preventing losses. There is nothing that we do that is worth getting hurt over, nothing. Each Supervisor, each foreman, each apprentice should be looking out for each other. Don’t wait for the safety director or someone else to come onto your job site and point out an unsafe condition. You know it is there, do something about it. Everyone is expected to stop work if there is an unsafe condition in the area where they need to work. We have just started the fourth quarter of the year. Let’s make it the best quarter that we have ever had. Sometimes with the holidays and with making plans for the upcoming year we can lose focus on the present. Stay focused. We have good people that do great things each and every day, but, we are not where we need to be. You are the answer; you can make it happen.
Thank You for your hard work and dedication,
Dennis Orgill Corporate Risk and Safety Director
We want to continue sharing both safety wins and stop work situations. If you are involved in a safety win or stop work situation, please send a description of the incident along with a photo to: Ashley Tzioumis, Quentin Johnson & Dennis Orgill
