Genie hosts "Ask Me Anything" online event
From March 26 to March 30, Genie webpage will provide information on rROIC and how it impacts rental businesses.
Genie invites customers to ask questions and get answers about rental return on invested capital (rROIC), during its upcoming “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) event, March 26-30, 2018.
On Monday, March 26, Genie will post an AMA prompt on the Genie Aerial Pros AMA Event page, as well as will be shared on social media simultaneously, to garner questions. The post will stay open, or “live,” for questions and comments through Friday, March 30. The goal of this fifth Genie AMA event is to educate customers on using rROIC to financially plan for business success.
“ROIC is a calculation used to assess a rental company’s efficiency of converting its capital expenses into profitable investments. Essentially, rROIC gives our customers a sense of how well they are investing money to make money,” says Galen Wickstrom, Genie national sales account manager, Terex AWP. “This event will focus primarily on giving our customers information on how rROIC works — and can work for their businesses.”
According to Wickstrom, in the last 10 years, the rental industry has become extremely proficient in the tracking of rental fleets by machine — revenue generated, rental rates, time of utilization, maintenance/repair costs, interest costs, downtime, warranty costs/issues, depreciation and resale prices. “Today’s fleet managers have the ability to determine the profitability of a particular machine or machine model,” adds Wickstrom. “During the event, we will supply our customers with the answers and tools they need to assess rROIC based on the data they already have on their fleets.”With changing industry safety standards (ANSI/CSA) and the increased focus on safety and load sense, customers are asking questions about how those changes will impact them and what benefits the XC line offers them. Attention to these changes and our new XC offerings have caused some possible misperceptions about XC, and we want to address any concerns they may have, with additional XC models coming out in late 2017 and 2018.
Ahead of this event, Genie encourages customers and key stakeholders to gain preliminary information on this topic through a video presentation, which can be accessed through the Genie AMA Event Presentation. Additional information and resources can be found at aerialpros.genielift.com.
Once questions are posted and reviewed, Genie will post responses from its team members, including engineering and safety experts, to the questions in a timely manner. Customers wishing to participate in the AMA event, or simply to follow the questions and responses, can access the Genie Aerial Pros website in a variety of ways, including the dedicated website aerialpros.genielift.com, as well as via www.genielift.com and through the company’s social media pages: Facebook (GenieLift), Twitter (@GenieLift), LinkedIn (Genie Industries) and Instagram (@genie_lift).
“rROIC a topic that’s gaining a lot of interest in the rental industry, and a lot of our customers are making purchasing decisions with it in mind,” says Wickstrom. “Because it’s become so important in how we do business with our customers, now and in the future, we created this event to help participants understand not only what the acronym stands for but also what the implications are for the industry.”
