A personal note from Herb Chambers

Dear Valued customer,

Last, year at this time, I wrote to you about an important workplace distinction of which, I was very proud.

The Herb Chambers Companies were recognized as being amongst The Boston Globe’s Top 100 Places to Work for 2009. I am so proud to tell you, we have just been notified by the Boston Globe, that we have earned this distinction again for 2010.

This year we are ranked eighth in the Large Employer category. We were selected from more than 1,000 employers who participated in the survey. In fact, we are the only automotive dealer ever to have received this award and now we’ve earned it twice.

What I love so much about this is that it was the enthusiastic recognition of our employees’ that made this possible when they nominated our company as a Top 100 workplace.

There is no higher privilege in business than to have your employees emphatically state, “What a great place to work”! … And then, want to tell the whole world…amazing!

Thank you.

Herb Chambers

The soul of a leader

Three top executives who all inspire loyalty among employees reveal their personal goals, leadership methods — and deepest fears

November 7, 2010

To be one of the Globe’s Top Places to Work, an organization’s employees must believe the people at the top know what they’re doing and care about providing a rewarding work experience. Anthony Consigli of Consigli Construction Co., Kathleen “Kit’’ Tunney of Associates for Human Services, and Herb Chambers of Herb Chambers Cos. all run organizations that ranked high in our survey for employee faith that the organization is in good hands. Top Places editor Michael Warshaw asked them what good leaders do.

• Globe: Anthony, what does it mean to you that your name is on the company?

Consigli: It might make the accountability that much greater. But I don’t think that it is the end all, be all. The reason the name is important is because I have three generations preceding me. If I screw up, I feel like I let somebody down.

• Globe: Herb, what about your name on your company?

Chambers: Well, I think it is different for me because I was the guy that started the company. I think that the pressure on you, Anthony, is five times greater than it is on me.

The company I have today is not what I envisioned 20, 25 years ago. At the time I sold my first company, I was 38 years old. I said, ‘What am I going to do now?’ and I went down to buy a car, and instead of buying the car, I bought the dealership.

Tunney: That is a great story.

Chambers: I realized how bad that particular dealership was. It just looked like the guy wanted to get out of it. I bought it right on the spot.

In the automobile business, you don’t necessarily have to be great. You have to be good. If you are good, you are great. Because most people say they hate car dealers.

We don’t build cars. They roll in, and we have to find a home for them. Our people are so important because the product is unimportant. If you like Honda, you’re going to buy a Honda whether you buy it from me or somebody else. The question becomes: Can we fulfill the need of delivering that car to the customer better than somebody else can?

I hold a training meeting once a month, and we have 300 or 400 people there for breakfast, our whole sales organization. Salespeople have got to be kind of cheered up all the time, because they have a tendency to fall down. Technicians are a kind of a different breed. They have a different level of motivation than salespeople do.

• Globe: Do you speak to each group differently?

Chambers: I do. When I am in the dealerships, I talk to the guys and ask, ‘How is everything with the shop? Anything we can do for you?’

All of our shops are now air conditioned. That came out of one of the comments I got from one of the guys.

• Globe: Kit, you came up differently, from being a staffer.

Tunney: I fell in love with the work that we do — with the staff that I was working with. And over time, wanted to make some changes there, took some courses to get a little bit of credentials in management. And happened to be at the right place at the right time.

• Globe: How did the experience of being a staff member affect your leadership?

Tunney: Having been there and done that makes me more approachable. I try to involve them in problem solving and decision making, because that was important to me when I felt like I didn’t have that voice.

I go out to a group home and say to the staff, ‘How’s it going?’ and I stop to listen to the answer. But I also provide formal opportunities for them to participate in focus groups and surveys to tell me how good of a job we are doing.

• Globe: Tell us something that surprised you that came out of that.

Tunney: Lack of natural light. We had staff in cubbies with no windows. When I decided to build our building, and we interviewed staff to ask them what they wanted, what I heard was: light. Now our building has windows right across the top. It is all one level. And there are suites set off at angles, so it doesn’t look like a motel.

• Globe: Anthony, what are you looking for when you tour your construction sites?

Consigli: I am looking for them to talk to me like I am a normal person, vs. a company president. I think there are some incredibly smart people out there that are building these buildings. They are equally important to this deal as I am. I don’t think they understand that sometimes.

• Globe: Kit, how important is the staff dedication to your mission?

Tunney: It is essential. You train, train, train. I don’t have a breakfast every month for 400 people, but it is the same thing. You’ve got to find out what their needs are, and you have to meet those needs. If I have a staff that didn’t do a good job because I didn’t provide the opportunity to gain the skills that they need, then I am the one at fault.

For instance, if you have an individual that lives in a group home, in a wheelchair, and then is maybe visually impaired, you need to provide training for that particular staff. How do you present a meal to someone that is visually impaired? How do you get them to a table if they are in a wheelchair? So you really have to be very thorough putting together orientation for staff. And follow up, follow up, follow up.

Chambers: In the automobile business, I am embarrassed to say how simple it is. The manufacturer provides you with information on all of the technicians, all the salespeople, the individual dealerships, how they all perform. We know where the problems are.

• Globe: Herb, you bought that dealership, it seems, almost on impulse.

Tunney: That is confidence, and I admire that.

Chambers: I don’t think I am smarter than anybody else. On the same token, I don’t think I am a lot dumber than anybody else. Believe me, I live on fear. I am always worried about everything all the time.

• Globe: Fear of what?

Chambers: Fear of failing in anything. I don’t want to fail.

• Globe: Kit, do you have fear?

Tunney: We’re federally and state funded. I am always wondering whether or not our contracts are going to get cut. And they do. Then I need to figure out, ‘How am I going to do more with less?’ I am always afraid it’s going to get cut so much that I am going to have to look at laying off staff.

• Globe: Anthony, is fear a motivator?

Consigli: Fear and regret. I stay up all night thinking about the things that could go wrong. Construction is a dangerous business. People die, and I am fearful of that. Quality problems, reputation — all those things.

I would say regret is equal. I hate thinking that I am going to regret decisions I made or didn’t make 10 years out, 30 years out.

• Globe: How do you avoid it?

Consigli: Thinking a lot about it. The greatest regret would be tanking a company that has been around for 105 years. I think that fear and hard work hold off that danger of making a decision that you’ll regret.

Do you screw up? Yeah. Everybody screws up. But you man up, you admit it, and you move on. If there are three things that I aspire to, they are humility, empathy, and accountability — just doing what you said you were going to do. I think that if I can do that more often than not, generally speaking, things will go well.

Tunney: If people have a healthy work ethic, they want to come to work and they want to be respected for what they do. And they want to do their best and they want to be rewarded for that. They want to have decent pay checks. And that is what we try to do.

Consigli: If we are the people behind our organizations who are responsible for that, we need to be doing the proper planning and working hard to make sure we’re putting things in place for that to happen for people.

Chambers: Everybody likes to believe they have good integrity. They all like to believe that they work hard. Who is going to set the pace of the organization? The pace of the organization is the speed of the leader, right? They look at you and say, ‘He really puts his heart and soul into everything that he does, or she does.’ So what are you doing to do? You’re going to put your heart and soul into it.

Consigli: The day that I stop doing that is the day I have to get out and let someone else take over. I have seen so many organizations where that doesn’t happen. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, I want the organization to keep going just like nothing happened. That’s success.

New compact SUV feels like a Mercedes.
by courtesy New Car Test Drive

For decades, Mercedes-Benz offered only coupes, sedans, station wagons and convertibles in the U.S. market. There was only one SUV in the product portfolio, the G-Class, but it wasn’t sold in the United States until a few years ago. Then came the M-Class mid-size SUV, the big R-Class crossover, and the big GL-Class.

The Mercedes-Benz GLK uses a five-door layout with a whole lot of GL spirit in its exterior design. Initially, the U.S. will get the GLK as a five-seater: two in front, three in rear.

Inside, the GLK is a Mercedes-Benz through and through, but with some new features added, like the central controller on the console for combined control of the sound system, navigation system, and telephone, and a much more angular, purposeful instrument panel and dashboard layout. All of the dashtop panels in the GLK will be anti-glare black, regardless of the interior color scheme (black, tan or gray).

We had the opportunity to drive one of the first production versions of the GLK350 in Dusseldorf, Germany, and came away very pleased with the GLK and bullish about its future.

The Mercedes-Benz GLK is a new compact SUV that offers smooth, fast highway performance with decent fuel economy. It performs well on rugged terrain.

The Mercedes – Benz E Class Coup and Sedan are as luxurious and performance driven as anything Mercedes-Benz has released in years.  While we have not been privy to a test drive as of yet – hint hint!  We will go with some authorities on the subject and agree on premise alone for the time being.

We provide manufacturer overview as well as Car and Driver and Motor Trend reviews for your perusal.

Motor Trend

If the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan’s styling isn’t
controversial enough for you, meet the E-Class Coupe. While the new coupe, like the CLK it replaces is based on the C-Class, its sheetmetal and engine choices tie it to
the all-new E-Class sedan. The E-Class Coupe is more relaxed and less sporty compared with the 2009 CLK, and along the way it drops out as a competitor for BMW’s unbeatable 3 Series coupe.  For the rest of the story – CLICK HERE!

2010 Mercedes E-class / E350 / E550 Coupe – First Drive Review

Mercedes-Benz aligns its entry-level coupe with its stoic mid-size sedan in both look and feel. Should we play along?

In car-speak, acronyms have their pros and cons. Alphanumeric, gobbledygook names force customers to use the parent company’s name every time they identify a car, casting
a halo effect for the brand. “I drive a Legend,” for example, did less for Acura than, “I drive an Acura.” And so the RL was born.

Now apply that thinking to Mercedes-Benz, which, to be fair, has always used alphanumeric names. But as the company expanded its lineup to some 15 separate nameplates—not
counting the AMG models—it resulted in confusion on the showroom floor and significant marketing challenges in promoting individual models. Things needed to get simpler,
and they have. The replacements for Mercedes’ mid-size CLK-class coupe and cabriolet models will henceforth be identified as part of the E-class family. (The CL coupes
will become part of the S-class lineup.)  For the rest of the story visit  Car and Driver  – CLICK HERE

Behind Mercedes’ $75 Mil. E-Class Push

June 22, 2009

-By Andrew McMains

With the launch of a $75 million campaign for Mercedes-Benz’ 2010 E-Class, U.S. vp, marketing Steve Cannon discussed the psyche of Mercedes owners, the role of  “rational red meat” in the ads and why the automaker is creating mobile apps for the first time. The following are excerpts of an interview with senior reporter Andrew McMains.

Adweek: How has the economy impacted your consumers?
Steve Cannon: They’re definitely nervous. They’ve been shaken like they’ve never been shaken before. So, a bunch of confidence has been removed from the system. They’re still very optimistic. For the most part, these are people who are go-getters. They build companies, they’re leaders, and they’re entrepreneurs. So, while they’ve taken a hit, there’s an underpinning of absolute optimism in all of our communications that we’ve had with those folks. Everybody has told us that they’re definitely taking tighter control over household finances. They’re postponing some things — some of that casual dining, some of that impulse stuff they’ve cut out. One lady talked about her 24-hour rule. She still loves to shop but she walks back out, gives herself 24 hours and, in most cases, doesn’t go back. So, they’re definitely cutting back.

AW: What have you learned from your dealers?
SC: The dealers are definitely seeing a more cost-cautious customer. The way the dealers see it, it expresses itself in traffic: There’s a whole lot less traffic out there. [Customers] are giving them some reasons for optimism, so the E-Class is coming at a great time. It gives them a reason to re-engage with a very big customer base. The E-Class is in its ninth generation. We’ve got lots of E-Class customers out there and it’s important in a time like this to work with your loyal customer base. It’s easier to maintain loyalty than it is to [try for] conquest in a tough, tough market.

AW: What are the biggest challenges of marketing a luxury product in a recession?
SC: The biggest challenge for us is to connect with consumers that are postponing [purchases], cutting back. Almost to a person, though, in the dialogues I’ve had with Mercedes-Benz customers, they don’t see their Mercedes-Benz as a luxury. You’ve probably heard a couple of phrases out there, like “conspicuous consumption” and “luxury shame.” None of our customers are ashamed of the cars they own. In fact, for them a Mercedes-Benz is a necessity and it’s not a luxury by any stretch of the imagination. But we definitely have to give them the rational reasons to buy. That’s why our campaign is built on the heritage of 120 years and nine generations, but it’s all about innovation. That’s why we spent a lot of time highlighting [features such as] the attention assist, lane-keeping assist, blind spot merger, this automatic breaking system — life-saving technologies that matter to the customer whether you’re in a recession or not. So, we’ve built communications that’s giving them lots of rational red meat.

AW: Does the E-Class give dealers hope because the people who would be buying it are going to be returning customers and therefore more inclined to buy regardless of the circumstances versus, say, the C-Class, where you’re trying to bring new people into the tent? Is that a more difficult challenge in these conditions?
SC: It’s definitely a more difficult challenge. Most people are talking about taking care of your loyal customers first. You make sure that you’re informing them, you’re pampering them, you’re giving them reasons to buy. Sure we still have to [try for] conquest. But for this launch, at this time for this vehicle — because the E-Class really is the bread and butter of the Mercedes-Benz franchise…as well as the heart and soul…[Dealers are] out there at the local level sort of firing up the base, to use a political term.

AW: Are all your models impacted by MBUSA’s 30 percent sales decline year-to-date through May?
SC: GLK is a great story. That just launched in January and we’ve got 30 percent share of the segment. That’s all on-top volume, which is great…Obviously, the segments that have been hardest hit are at the top [of the price range]. Some of the bigger trucks have been hit harder than the overall market. Most of the fun-to-have roadster SL and the heavier car S-class segments are down significantly. So, while the overall market [sales] were down 30 percent, the market itself is down 35 [percent]. The slight silver lining through a tough year is the fact that we’ve been gaining market share.

AW: Are dealers seeing a bump in servicing revenue as a result of owners keeping their cars longer?
SC: What we see is: folks walking in, asking about pre-owns almost as a lower-price-point Mercedes-Benz. Body styles don’t change that much. You can be in a Mercedes-Benz pre-owned vehicle with a CPO, with a warranty, and they look at that as a smart bet in a tough environment. And that gives us a way to keep people in a brand. We also see some downsizing going on. So, M-Class folks looking at the GLK are saying, “Smaller platform, a little bit more efficient.”

AW: What lines or scenes in this campaign were indelibly shaped by what’s going on around us?
SC: “If you want to see the future of the automobile, look at the E-Class today.” That to me is a really strong leadership position that [says] the technologies we’ve got in there are [valuable]. We’ve got a public out there driven by consumer electronics. We’re innovation-hungry. We like to see new innovations. We like to see those cycles kind of fast and furious. To me the watchword [phrase] is “innovation that matters.” A couple of years ago, one of our competitors talked about a vehicle that parked itself. That was a bit of a gimmick that might have been an innovation but one that didn’t matter all that much. People are pretty decent at parking themselves. But when you talk about something like attention assist — that’s a brand new innovation…[It speaks to consumers because] they equate more accidents to driver fatigue than they do to drunk driving. And the fact that we’ve got a system, a smart always-on system that monitors your driving behavior, detects peak driving patterns and warns you to take a break, that’s something that matters.

AW: What’s the thought behind the tagline, “This is Mercedes-Benz?”
SC: It came out of a dinner. We start every new campaign with about five people at a table over dinner with the agency to frame the discussion. Out of that came a very frank insight that was, If you could distill everything that Mercedes-Benz is as a company, as an engineering company, as a marketing company — all of our heritage and all of our prowess — if you could kind of distill it down into a single car it would be the E-Class. This is Mercedes-Benz.

AW: Were all the economic warning signs in place when you started planning for this campaign?
SC: Oh yeah. We have been cognizant of the environment and we’ve been really reaching out to try to understand the impact of all this on our customers…[We've been asking,] “What is its impact on consumer psychology?” We’ve got an online community — MBA Advisors. We’ve got about a thousand people that participate in this. We poll them constantly to find out how they’re thinking and responding. We even invited a bunch of people to blog for us. It’s kind of like reading their personal diary. One of the questions was, “How are you responding? What are you doing in this economy?” They’re cutting back, they’re postponing purchases, but this thread of upbeat optimism [is there]. “We’re going to get through this. We’re taking a tighter, more proactive role in our household finances.” But they’re feeling pretty empowered about that. Ironically, in one study I saw happiness. People are happier. It’s just so counter-intuitive. With all the doom and gloom that we’re surrounded with, we asked people if they are happier and the scores have jumped. A couple of things are part of that. No. 1, it’s this feeling that I can take the worst that the economy can throw at me and it hasn’t killed me. There’s a little bit of that. Plus, they’re telling us they’re feeling empowered and good about their pragmatic, proactive approach to get control of their household finances.

AW: Kind of recalibrating then, right?
SC: Definitely recalibrating. But I was happy to see that [among] Mercedes-Benz customers, none of them see a Mercedes-Benz as an item of conspicuous consumption. It’s a product that they say reflects the values that are important to them: quality, timeless design, craftsmanship, authenticity.

AW: Will you spend less in media dollars this year?
SC: In a tough budget year, we said, “We’re going to put all of our money behind our product launches.” You can’t do everything. We had a GLK launch and that was pretty big. And the feedback as well as the 30 percent segment share inside of four months are indicators that we got off to a good start in a brand-new segment. We put all of our eggs in our new-product-launch basket.

AW: Any changes in your media buying mix?
SC: We bought, through the first three quarters, pretty well in the upfront. So, in network [TV], national cable, we got a significant buy. Interestingly enough, TV has been a terrific medium in this down economy. With a lot of our marquee properties that we buy on, we’ve gotten some great deals and the viewership year-over-year has gone up. So there have been some definite — in the TV world — bargain opportunities out there with increased viewership. Folks are traveling less. They’re going out to eat less. So they’re watching some TV.

AW: Has MBUSA done mobile sites in the past?
SC: We have not. This is the first one, for the E-Class. We’re embracing the reality that that’s the way consumers are going to interact with us…We used that same community that I told you about to gauge what people are carrying in their pockets and 75 percent of them have smart phones. Even though our demographic might be a little older [and] you might think that these guys might be technology followers, we’ve got a lot of entrepreneurs and Type-A people that are early adopters. So the time is right for us to wade into this. While the E-Class will be first, it will be only the beginning of some of the mobile applications that we will develop for our marketing mix in general. We’ll start here and eventually we’ll be able to deliver the full MBUSA.com experience in a mobile app right up to and including a digital walk-around for the vehicle. That’s the way the market is moving.

AW: Any spot or moment in a spot or ad that you’re particularly proud of?
SC: The museum spot, where the E-Class coupe crashes through the window of the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart. It takes its rightful place among some of the greatest designs in automotive history. It’s a beautiful combination that balances a little bit of breakthrough creative and a little bit of fun but plays the heritage card with a performance and classic design mixed in.

iPhone – Premiers At Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin

Exclusive iPhone® pouch at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin: Dazzling preview of the GLK Collection

Stuttgart – Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is a major event on the fashion calendar: between July 17 and 20 top German and international labels and designers will be showing their latest creations in Berlin. Exceptional products from Mercedes-Benz will add a touch of glamour to the catwalk. The exclusive iPhone® pouch, featuring high-quality CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements, provides a glimpse of what can be expected in the new GLK Collection.

Top-class design is something that is synonymous with Mercedes-Benz – and it’s not just vehicle design. For years now the brand has been the title sponsor of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Weeks, staged in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Mexico City and has supported numerous fashion events in cities such as Milan, Stockholm and Amsterdam. July 2008 will mark the third time that Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has been staged in Berlin. Top international designers and young fashion talents of the future will gather there to show their exclusive creations and accessories to a select audience.

The spectacular event will also showcase the new Mercedes-Benz GLK, a compact SUV which has been making its mark in the style and fashion world, particularly with its stylish appearance alongside Kim Cattrell, alias Samantha in the current hit movie “Sex and the City”.

The GLK also served as a source of inspiration for the exclusive iPhone® pouch, a limited-edition item created specially for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: the original and stylish design will be continued in the GLK Collection on the market launch in October 2008, along with other accessories for fashion-conscious fans of the new model – all of which will be available via the Mercedes-Benz partners.

Fashion outfit for the iPhone®

The elegant and original iPhone® pouch, made from fine white nappa leather, will be spotlighted on the Berlin catwalk. The crisp cut-out transparent GLK lettering – a characteristic feature of the entire GLK Collection – has been lavishly trimmed with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements. The effect is eye-catching: when the iPhone® display is activated, the refraction of light through the fine-cut crystals ensures that the GLK lettering shimmers in an attractive play of colours. Inside the GLK iPhone® pouch is lined with a special magenta-coloured fabric. The exclusive branding appreciates the value of this elegant accessory.

Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH has been working closely with the Austrian crystal specialist Swarovski for some time now. The strictly limited edition of 40 exclusive, glittering iPhone® pouches will be exclusively raffled for invited guests of Mercedes-Benz in the Lounge. Together with a new GLK Collection T-shirt – also trimmed with quality CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements – the pouch heralds further collaboration between the two partners.

The future GLK Collection will feature a further variant of the iPhone® pouch in elegant black, designed for customers with more classic tastes. The fine leather pouch is particularly practical, its versatile design offering attractive protection for other Apple products too, such as the iPod® touch. For drivers of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars the multimedia enjoyment doesn’t end there. Like other model series, the GLK-Class offers a convenient and secure connection for the iPhone® on board with the usual multifunction steering wheel control.
