Good coffee is not enoughDAVID MALHERBE

Inmy line ofwork, I of-ten meet clients in cof-fee shops and because Ioften advise businessowners on managingtheir businesses, I amvery alert regardingthe quality of servicebusinesses render.

Each business ownershould ensure that theyknow what good servicemeans to their clients.From certain businesses clients ex-pect speedy delivery, like when abuilder orders sand or bricks. Fromamotordealerclientsexpect,amongothers, excellent after sales service.If the service is lacking, no matterwhether you sell products or servic-es, customers look for alternativesuppliers.Let us look at the coffee shop ex-

ample, seeingthat theysellproductsaccompanied by service delivery.

WhatdoI look for inacof-fee shop? Being a coffeeshop, onewill expect thatquality coffee is a given.But what goes with thecoffee?Let us first look at whypeople visit coffee shops?Sometimes it is a teatimemeeting place forwomen. Business peoplemeet clients there be-cause nowadays manyhave offices at home and

need a meeting place. I see many ofthem regularly because I am one ofthem.People working from home mayfind that a home office becomes alonely place. So they take their lap-tops and go work in a coffee shop.For instance, I like to write theseweekly articles in a coffee shop.So what is important besides the

coffee? Atmosphere, made up of acombination of the interior, back-groundmusic, the location, etc. andmost important – the service ren-dered by waiters.Are they friendly and do theymake you feel welcome? Do theyknow the menu by heart?Also, can I easily access theWi-Finetwork with my computer? In twocoffee shops the past month I couldnot access the internet because theshop’sWi-Fiwasnot up to standard.This limits the work I can do there,aswell as the quality of service I canrender to my client.So,what aspects of service are im-portant to your clientswhen theydobusinesswithyou?Doyouknowanddo you exceed their expectations?* DavidMalherbeisabusinessand

Vyandige familie?Antie Klara

My verloofde kom uit ’n groot, kwaaien beledigende familie. Daar word vanons verwag om hulle weekliks of selfsmeergereeldtesien.Syfamiliepraatniksmet my wanneer ons saam soontoe gaannie en as hy nie daar is nie, dan is hulleonvriendelik. Hulle tree dieselfde opteenoor sy suster se mans en my verloof-de se vorige 3 verhoudings het geëindiga.g.v. sy familie. Hulle het teen die eenmeisie gedraai omdat sy haar man ge-staan het. Wanneer ekmetmyman daar-oor praat, sê hy hy sal iets daaraandoen,maardangaandaeverbyenhy’tnogniks gedoen nie. JessieLiewe JessieEk sal graag vir jou wil sê om weg te

hardloop, maar ek weet hoe moeilik ditis omverskeur tewees tussen selfbehoud

en om iemand te wil liefhê en beskerm.Daar is families wat, vir watter rede

ook al, so disfunksioneel is dat dit on-moontlik is om mee te onderhandel, dieverhouding te herstel of om by in te pas.Jy mag dalk die volgende wil doen:•Volg die voorbeeld wat deur jou ver-

loofdeseeksegestel is enbeëindigonmid-dellik die verhouding•Om dalk vir ’n ruk lank ’n breek te

neem, terwyl hy hulp kry om die selfver-troue te hê om sy familie aan te spreeksodat hulle jou met meer respek behan-del.•Om die troue eers uit te stel, maar om

nog steeds ’n verhouding te hê, maar danmoet hy hulp kry en ook net sy familiesien wanneer hy emosioneel sterker is.•Omuitmekaartegaanofomnogsteeds

saam te wees, maar dan moet hy min/geen kontak met hulle hê nie.

Teach your children to recycleDid you know - SA ranks among thetop six countries worldwide in termsof recycling rates for cans!Harry the Hominid, Maropeng’s

spokeshominid, says that today thecan is the most successfully recycledprimary packaging in SA with bever-age cans now only contributing lessthan 1% of litter.Recyclingmakesgreat“cents”,says

Harry. Not only is it a great way ofsavingrawmaterialsbut italsoreduc-es the need for landfill. Did you know,for example, that the volume of allcans recovered during the last tenyears (this means the space thesesavedcans takeup) equals thevolumeof major landfill sites designed to ac-commodate all the rubbish of a majorcity like Johannesburg over a 15-yearperiod!Harry says that recycling also cre-

ates much needed jobs for many un-employed and underemployed entre-preneurswhooperateascollectors.Ofthe 40 000 people earning or supple-menting their income by collecting,about 80% have no other formalmeans of employment.Collect-a-Can is the company re-

sponsible for the collection of cansand tins for recycling in SouthAfrica.

They urge all parents to teach theirchildren:•To recycle both food and beverage

tins•Toencourageeveryone in the fami-

ly to do this, including friends

•Start a collection point at a localschool, shopping centre or communi-ty hall.“Remember every can recycled not

only helps the environment, but alsohelps alleviate poverty,” says Harry.

Cans should be recycled.

Ride with your children to ensure safe cyclingParents can teach their childrento be safe cyclists by going outwith them and leading by exam-ple.

South African roads are publicspaces and cyclists have the right toride their bicycles on them, but rid-ingabicycleonpublicroads isahugeresponsibilityand it isvital that chil-dren are made aware of the rules ofthe road as well as how to handle abicycle inasafeandresponsibleway.

Teaching children to travel effec-tively by bicycle as they get older de-velops patience, discipline, self-reli-ance and personal responsibility.Learning to cycle also teaches es-

sential driving skills that will makethem safer and more courteous mo-torists later in life. Like swimmingand driving, the safety of cycling isdetermined primarily by behaviour;education and skill development.Animportantconsiderationforcy-

cling with children is matchingroute selection and adult supervi-sion to the developmental and skilllevels of the child.“Riding with children affords a

parent the opportunity to supervisetheir cycling, especially at edge loca-tions such as street crossings. Par-ents should model consistent behav-iour by stopping and looking bothways before proceeding, and invitethe child to assist in assessment oftraffic conditions,” says Karin Pohl,general manager of the Pedal PowerAssociation.Although many parents and chil-

dren are tempted to think of pave-ments as safe places for children toride, travelling any distance on apavementinevitablyresults incross-ing intersections and driveways or

crossing roads mid-block – this isillegal in South Africa unless thereis a specific cycle path on the pave-ment. Suchmovements are associat-ed with the most common collisiontypes for child cyclists, in part be-cause of children’s errors, but alsobecause motorists are less likely tonotice bicyclists entering their pathfrom pavement locations when theyare focusedon traffic approaching inthe roadway.A leading contributor to car-bike

crashes is cycling on the wrong sideof the road, which is also illegal inSouth Africa.At intersections, where the vast

majority of car-bike collisions hap-pen, other drivers aren’t expectingor looking for traffic approachingfrom the “wrong” direction.When riding with a child to super-

vise their bicycling, an ideal ridingposition is slightly behind and to theright of the child, with the child set-ting the pace.This position allows the parent or

instructor to watch and communi-catewith the child,while also divert-ing overtaking traffic to pass at alarger distance from the childChildren between the ages of 7 and

10 can develop the necessary trafficand handling skills to operate safelyonlowspeed, lowtraffic two-laneres-idential streets.By their early teens, they can de-

velop the skills to handle multiplelane streets.The Pedal Power Association of

South Africa offers helpful informa-tion that parents should share withtheir children from an early age:

. You must always wear a helmet

. You must ride in single file

. Youmaynot hold onto any other

vehicles. Youmaynotdeliberatelyswerve

from side to side. You may not carry another per-

son or object that prevents you fromseeingwhereyouaregoing,andfromhaving complete control over yourbicycle

. If youare riding onapublic roadwhere there is a bicycle lane, youmust use that lane

. Youmayrideonanyroad,excepton a freeway or a road closed to cy-cling

. Obey all traffic laws, includingstopping at red traffic lights and allstop streets. Proceed through inter-sections only when it is safe to do soIt is important for everyone to

check their bicycles before settingout – you do not want to break downin the middle of a busy road, or farfrom help! Check the bikes togetherand set an example to your children.Checklist before your bike ride:. Are the tyres free of holes, cuts

or any embedded?. Are the wheels pumped hard

enough?. Are the wheels tightly secured?. Check both the brakes - are they

working?. Are the gears working as they

should?. Is the chain cleanandwell oiled?. Is thehandlebarandsaddle firm-

ly fixed?. Are there any cracks in the

frames or forks?. Do you have a saddle bag with

emergency spares attached to the bi-cycle that includes a spare tube, apatch kit and tyre levers?

. Doyouhave lightsandreflectorson the bicycle (red at the back, whiteat the front) Pedalpower encourages cycling safety.
