How is your relationship with the front office people? Next time you are expecting a delivery, make sure you are spending plenty of time up there. Perhaps surprise them with some muffins. You’d be amazed how far a little munching will get you.
Once they let their guard down, ram the packages through the back door. Sure, they will be startled, but as long as you have a firm grip on the situation, they shouldn’t put up too much of a struggle.[/quote]
You must have some good experience in admin. I’ve notice that reciprocation and a show of appreciation definitely helps employees become more receptive to different tasks and facilitates more fluid transition transition from one operation to the next.
As an aside, Where in the heck is DN?
With her entrepreneurial experience and bottom up/top down business acumen she could probably solve employee pushback with the snap of her fingers.
thank you SP - that is good information, I have spent some time with the front office, and am working towards the possibilities of surprise rear entries, but there is still that uncomfortable moment of surprise that I am trying to work through. I will work on the muffin thing, tho~ there is usually some relaxation that occurs once we’re all munching.
good Question Sky~ do you thing our NinjaaGurl has any experience with packages in the back door region? her input would be helpful~
This is more successfully accomplished if deliveries are being made simultaneously through the front and back doors.
In other words if UPS is delivering at the front Fedex will have easier access back yonder. You know what I mean, right?[/quote]

My experience as a deliveryman for both UPS and Fedex has shown that simultaneous deliveries leave a pleasing and lasting experience for the recipient. Memorable for sure.[/quote]
i was considering moving our garbage container near that rear entrance thinking that the stink would keep them away - what has been your experience with this concept, Pushie?

I thought the purpose was to do the opposite of keeping them away?[/quote]

Sure she does. There could be some technical differences in application of technique and handling procedures due to specialization, but the concepts are almost universal. Given her international overview of the subject she could probably customize a plan for virtually anybody.
Mine is mainly in heavy to light industrial, using application specific accouterments for high volume and time sensitive operations.
One more thing…tell the deliveryman to knock a few times before barging in. A real professional will always announce his entry to prevent startling anyone.

I don’t even know what you’re saying because your Avitar is so distracting.
Also be sure to clear all of your storage out of the rear before allowing entry, it makes it so the employees won’t be left fumbling around back there and ending up having to smack the boxes out of the way to get in, smoother line of flow for them on entry and exit.
