FROM YOUR EDITOR

I would like to take this opportunity to thank

everyone who has written recently to compliment

us on our NCR REA newsletters. I also want to

thank you for your suggestions on how to make

this forum better and more useful for all members.

Please keep those ideas coming!

Although most of our members live in Ohio, the REA is

a national organization with members in every state but one. We also have

several international members. We know there are many NCR groups that

get together for breakfasts, brunches, lunches, dinners, parties, picnics, and

so on. In addition, there are still marriages, regrettably deaths, and

participation in civic, political, volunteer, and even new business endeavors.

With that said, I ask you to continue sending your articles and pictures

directly to me at our NCR REA P. O. Box, or send them online to our email

at [email protected]. Whatever you send, we’ll do our best, space permitting,

to publish it! Remember, the content of this newsletter is what we make it, so

please feel free to participate as much as possible! We want to hear from

you! Cheers!

Steve Wicinski, Editor

Many logos … Many memories … Much to share ...

REA APPOINTS NEW TRUSTEE

R ecently, the NCR REA Board appointed Mike Freeman as

Trustee, replacing Barb Swinger, who resigned recently due to

a significant change in work schedules. “Barb, we wish you well

and thank you for all your contributions to our organization!”

As a third-generation NCR employee in his family, Mike began his NCR

career in 1964 in the Order Approval Department. In 1966, he moved to the

Office of Pricing as a Pricing Analyst. In the early 70s, Mike joined the

Systems, Policies, and Procedures Department and became Manager in 1976.

In 1980, he was appointed Property Manager for the USG and 741 Buildings.

By 1988, he became Property Manager for all Corporate properties. In 1994,

he was named Director, Property Management Services for all Dayton

operations as part of the Corporate Real Estate Division. Finally, in 2004,

Mike retired in this position after 40 years of service!

Mike joined the NCR REA in 1999. As a Trustee, he brings additional skill

sets to our team. Please join us in welcoming Mike to the Board!

The Birth of Modern Salesmanship-Part 2

L ast issue, we finished Part 1 with Mr.

Patterson having published the first known Sales Manual, and with him ready to embark

on a series of salesmanship firsts.

Perhaps Mr. Patterson’s single greatest contribution

in modernizing salesmanship was his insistence that

salesmen are made rather than born. Looking back, this concept is hardly a revelation. But back in the 1880’s, it

was unheard of. Patterson realized that making a

salesman required a great deal more than outfitting him in nice clothes, stuffing his briefcase with sales

literature, and guiding him into a prospect’s place of

business. If merchants were to be educated about the

cash register, it was necessary to educate the salesmen first. Crane’s Sales Manual was a step in the right

direction, but Patterson’s mind was already formulating

other ideas to fire up his lackadaisical (Patterson’s

words) sales force.

One of these early ideas was the so-called guaranteed territory, which gave each salesman his own

domain. This concept eliminated duplication of effort,

placed responsibility, and made for better customer

relationships.

Another Patterson first was to establish a quota

system. Under this system, the Company tried, to the best of its ability, to measure the sales potential of each

territory, based on the number of potential customers in

the territory and on the amount of business produced in that territory by previous salesmen. In short, the quota

system was an attempt to convert guesswork into

science. It provided each salesman with a definite target to shoot for, and at the same time allowed management

back in Dayton to measure each salesman’s progress.

Patterson was a firm believer in public recognition.

He felt that men were inspired nearly as much by the

credit they received for a job well done as they were for

the monetary reward they received for their work. Therefore, logic following the quota system and the

guaranteed territory led Patterson to a program for

recognizing and honoring those salesmen who met their quotas. As a result, the CPC, or Hundred Point Club,

was established. The first C in CPC is the Roman

numeral for 100. Salesmen made the club by achieving 100% of quota. In following years, countless other

companies established similar sales clubs.

Brain-storming was never far from Patterson’s

conscious thought. One of his newfound theories was

that “teaching through the eye” was the most effective way to educate. He claimed he had found medical

evidence for his conviction that visual things were easier

to grasp than abstract ideas. Somewhere he had read that

the optic nerve was 22 times stronger than the auditory nerve. This led him to the believe that if you tell a person

something, it tends to go in one ear and out the other.

However, when you show them something, the idea goes directly to the brain. Overnight, Patterson became a

valued customer of the blackboard and chalk industry.

When an important idea was raised, he would jump up, grab the chalk, and before long, with his gift for

simplifying complex thoughts, he would fill the

blackboard with understandable phases, diagrams, and

sketches. The opening of the first NCR office in France provided the perfect example of Patterson’s “chalk talk”

ability. The first task was to get an audience for his

presentation. He ordered a salesman to run out to the sidewalk and ring a bell. Curious Frenchmen came inside

to see what was happening. When the crowd was large

enough, the door was locked and Patterson faced the group. It was only then that he realized he couldn’t speak

a word of French. Unfazed, he picked up the chalk,

turned to the blackboard, then gave what was probably

both the first and last cash-register demonstration ever made without words. Apparently, his captive audience

understood his presentation, as the history of NCR in

France had officially begun without speaking a word of

French.

Patterson’s gift for getting the most mileage out of an idea was again revealed as soon as he returned to Dayton.

He purchased countless large pads of paper and had the

NCR Woodworking Department construct pedestals for

the pads. Thus was born the NCR “chart pedestal,” which became almost as essential a part of an NCR sales office

as the furniture, the cash registers and, yes, even the sales

and service men. Shortly thereafter, the chart pedestal was found in every office and manufacturing department

at the Dayton facility. As usual, Patterson practiced what

he preached. He even had a chart pedestal installed in his bedroom. He wanted to be sure to preserve any idea that

came to him during the middle of the night.

In Part 3, we’ll discuss how Mr. Patterson’s

stockholders scoffed at his so-called silly idea of

“educating salesmen.” After all, they felt nobody should

pay salesmen to learn. The only way to learn to sell was

to go out and sell.

NCR PENSION PLAN NOTICE

Following is an announcement that NCR published recently. We are providing this notice in case some of

our members have not yet seen this.

If you have any questions, we strongly encourage you to contact NCR at the address and numbers listed

below. Also, the Web site address for Fidelity is: https://www.fidelity.com.

Notice Regarding NCR Pension Plan

Dear Participant,

This notice is being provided for informational purposes

and you are not required to respond in any way.

NCR has made an election permitted under Federal law to

delay funding for the NCR Pension Plan. The election

applies to the plan year beginning on January 1, 2010 and

ending on December 31, 2010.

Without the election, Federal law generally requires that any

increase in the amount by which the plan is underfunded for

a plan year be paid off over 7 years. However, the election

allows the increase in the amount by which the plan is

underfunded for this plan year to be paid off in smaller

annual payments over 15 years.

If you have any questions, contact the NCR Benefit Center

c/o NCR Corporation, at World Headquarters, 3097 Satellite
