Can You Survive a Major Crisis?Pre-planning is the best way to minimize damage when

the unexpected puts negative attention on your business

By Ann Richmond

How you guide your business in times of crisis can ulti-

mately determine its fate. A weak response can make a

bad situation impossible to recover from.

Heather Ripley, owner and founder of Ripley PR, a national

agency that specializes in trades, has helped numerous servicebusinesses through varying crisis situations. She has capitalized

on her experience working with one of the largest home service

companies in the country: Clockwork Home Services, franchisor

of One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning, Benjamin Franklin

Plumbing and Mister Sparky.

As a guest presenter at WWETT Education Day, Ripley will

discuss the various types of crises a service business can face and

how owners and management can better prepare themselves fora graceful recovery. Whether its a damaging review, poor em-

ployee behavior, or an uncontrollable disaster, a crisis can only

be straightened out if management is properly prepared. Ripley

believes pre-planning is the key to minimizing damage to your

business, its financial stability, its reputation and its standing in

your community. Her session Is Your Business Prepared for a

Crisis? runs today from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in rooms 140-142.

Q: How did the idea for the presentation come about? Ripley: During the past 10 years I have worked with hundreds

of independent plumbing and home service contractors, and in

the last three years my public relations agency has managed crisis

communications and reputation repair for dozens of service busi-

nesses. One of the problems service businesses must deal with

today that is different from just a few years ago is the prolifera-

tion of social media and home services review sites. They offer

a platform for unhappy clients and the industry image has been

tarnished by a few unscrupulous home service repair businesses.

My agency specializes in the home service industry and has

been retained to assist not only with crisis management after

the fact, but we have developed a suite of crisis-planning tools

and processes to prevent a small incident from being blown out

of proportion into a full-fledged crisis. My goal in creating this

presentation is to help home service businesses plan for a crisisin advance so they can conduct business as usual, and keep their

reputations intact, even when faced with a crisis.

Reputation management and crisis planning are a must for

any home service business. I hope this presentation will offer

tips, helpful information and useful strategies attendees can

use right away.

Q: What are some of the crisis situations youve seen a

company experience? How were they overcome?

Ripley:In one case a service business technician was involved

in a heinous criminal act in his personal life. While this did notoccur on a service call or involve a client, it did reflect poorly on

the employer, a well-known service business with a very positive

reputation in the community. We advised the business to main-

tain its image as a trusted service provider by immediately and

publicly restating that while the existing policies, hiring practices

and screenings were all done according to the law and the more

stringent business practices were followed by this firm, it was

deeply distressed by the recent event and offered condolences to

the victims.

Q: How important is pre-planning for possible crisis situ-

ations? And does it depend on the type of crisis that may occur?

Ripley:Ive found that pre-planning often helps avert mis-

takes from happening in the first place. When businesses are

made aware of the potential dangers that exist in their business or

industry, they can prepare well in advance, making them able to

be proactive rather than reactive. Weve brought up potential situ-

ations that could happen with service clients and theyll often tell

us they never would have thought of that dilemma. We help them

create a policy and train employees to prevent potential crises

from happening.

Some crisis situations are not preventable or even on the radar

(like potential criminal employee activity). But by having a plan

in place that covers most known problems, businesses can focus

on repair activities rather than getting caught off guard withoutany plan or steps to follow. Of course every crisis is different, but

a solid plan can be adapted to most situations.

Q: What are the first steps a company can do to help

overcome a crisis?

Ripley:The first step is not to be caught without a plan. The

next step is to have a statement ready to go that can be tweaked

to cover most potential crisis situations. But the absolute most

important reaction to a crisis is to be honest and own up to yourmistake. Never try to hide a mistake, because it will backfire. I

have learned that when companies admit they made a mistake,

people are usually pretty understanding, as long as the business

doesnt try to avoid taking responsibility. Keep the communica-

tion avenues open and respond to questions. Always convey pub-

licly what you and your business are doing to make sure it doesnt

happen again.

Q: What resources are available to companies that need

help putting together a plan?

Ripley:There are online resources if businesses want to try

creating a plan or policy on their own, but having seen what canhappen to those who are unprepared, I cannot recommend that. I

dont recommend trying to clean up a massive crisis on your own.

A business can actually make a situation worse without even real-

izing it until after the fact. And by then recovery is even harder

to accomplish, even for an expert. Hire a professional to do this as

soon as you hear about the potential crisis. The longer you wait,

the harder it will be to clean up.

Q: What do you hope WWETT attendees will take awayfrom your presentation?

Ripley:I hope theyll find at least one action item that they

can put in place when they return from the event, even if it is just

to designate a specific person to be in charge during a crisis.

You would be surprised how important that one step is when a

crisis is in full swing. Too many cooks always make a bad situa-

tion worse, so if that one step is implemented, it will be a great

first step. But whether you create your own crisis plan or hire an

expert, you cant wait until something bad happens to try to create

a plan. You must respond quickly and seamlessly and that takes

advanced preparation.

Next-Level Pipe InspectionLongtime CCTV operator discusses the human factor in ensuring productivity and efficiency

By Luke LeNoble

Good people are the foundation of any good CCTV opera-

tion, but it also takes good equipment, technical under-

standing and a lot of hard work to be successful.

Jim Aanderud knows all this well, and hell share his perspec-

tive on building a strong CCTV inspection program in his educa-

tional session,Step Up Your Game! Taking Current CCTV Inspection

Technology to the Next Level.Aanderud has many years of fieldexperience as a CCTV operator and is very familiar with todays

technology. He joined Innerline Engineering in 1999 as opera-

tions manager and is now president and owner of the company.

Aanderuds session will look at the pipeline inspection process

starting at the most basic level and proceeding into approaches

and techniques for veteran operators. The session will be held

today from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. in rooms 231-233.

Q: First, how did the concept for this session originate?

Aanderud:My background is in CCTV. Ive been lucky

enough to have what I would consider the best job in the world,

which is a CCTV inspection operator. It may sound funny, but

its the truth. Ive never had a job that was more satisfying, where

your day just flies by; it is all consuming, but a very satisfying job.

So I sat in the truck for a while. I know what its like. This

year, I really wanted to concentrate on the operator inside the

truck and talk about how operators can basically raise the level

of their work, whether youve been doing it for 20 years or six

months.

There are two things that are the most important, in my

opinion, in inspecting pipe. The first one is obviously being able

to provide good information. Information has to be accurate.

You have to have a good picture. You have to know what youre

looking at and be able to properly convey the information youre

finding in the pipe. And the second one is justifying the cost of

the equipment, which means you have to be productive: quality of

video means accurate and useful information.

Thats it kind of in a nutshell. Were not talking about pan-

orama or anything like that, just standard pipeline inspection.

Everything from what we do during the inspection process to how

were treating equipment. Little tips. Big picture, but also small

picture how to be more efficient and effective. Really anyone

can benefit from it.

Q: Do you feel its important for contractors to know the

latest trends in CCTV inspection or is productivity more

about the person in the operators chair?

Aanderud: The industry has changed somewhat, but its still

kind of the same. When we go to the WWETT Show, we see all

these neat, new pieces of equipment, but the truth is still at least

80 percent of the equipment out there is your basic, standard

pipeline inspection equipment. There are bells and whistles, and

there are things out there that are kind of neat. Maybe some con-

tractors will slowly merge into that, but right now 80 percent of

the equipment thats out there is stuff thats been purchased over

the last 5, 10, or 15 years.

So the migration to new technology is slow. With that being

said, you can have an inspection van and you can purchase new

technology with your existing van, but overall were still talkingabout the same thing: Were talking about the human factor of

inspecting pipeline and that means productivity.

Yes, productivity is about how many feet you can inspect in

a day, but its also about how do you maintain your equipment?

You cant be productive if youre not taking care of your equip-

ment. Attributes that an operator has to have. I think its a very

neat position, because youre taking a blue-collar position and

youre incorporating a huge white-collar aspect to it. There arereally two compartments on a van. You have the backside with all

the dirtiness of a manhole and then you go into a compartment

and theres a computer its like a white-collar office. Finding

that person who can straddle those two is not as easy as one might

think. So I think the type of person you select for that position is

what makes or breaks the success of company or agency. People

need to understand what type of individual they need to have in

that role to be successful.

Q: What can someone new to CCTV inspection take away

from this session?

Aanderud:I think youre going to find out whats needed tobe successful. What kind of production do I need to justify this

cost? I absolutely believe that anyone considering this will walk

away with some valuable information.

Another big part is that when you get into the CCTV inspec-

tion business, youre entering a relationship with the manufactur-

er. Its not like buying a refrigerator, you put it there, and it lasts

for 10 years, and then you get another. Youre constantly dealing

with the manufacturer. Youre constantly having repairs thingslike that so you need to make sure you have the support.

The support is different in different parts of the country by

different manufacturers. You have to do your research. Thats one

thing people dont realize. When youre interviewing companies

that sell equipment, you have to find out what your repair turn-

around time is. Will you come out to my facility? Will I have to

mail the equipment to you? These are critical questions to ask.

Introduction to SoilsThis session will discuss how to go about considering the septic

tank, any advanced treatment processes and the soil characteristicswhen designing a system. Wastewater treatment processes includephysical, chemical, and biological, and the same processes are usedfor both municipal and onsite treatment. The differences betweenthem are primarily in the equipment used and energy inputs. Onsitesystems are primarily passive, requiring little or simple mechani-cal components and much lower energy needs than municipaltreatment facilities. Therefore, the designer must understand whichprocess will be most appropriate for a given wastewater and the soilcharacteristics of the treatment site. The septic tank, any advancedtreatment process, and the soil characteristics must be consideredtogether and adjusted appropriately to design a system that can

meet the performance goals effectively.
