World Class Customer Service!

Customer Service, Beyond Expectation…

By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, Tracometry Group of Companies.

When you have out of town guests, you normally like to socialize, especially when they are here over a weekend.  So we did!  Nothing better than a place to have Sunday Brunch and a somewhere different.  We found Ertel Cellars Winery, about an hour outside Indianapolis, Indiana, our guests in the Hummer, collected us and we drove.  The conversation flowed and the weather was changing to a massive snow storm, so we were cognizant of the possibility of major snow accumulation.

You know what it is like when driving, chatter among four people with the driver concentrating on the route with GPS of course and then something went a little wrong.  Our driver, who shall remain nameless, Derek, suddenly remembered he had not got gas, as his better half had told him.  As we went down one of the few hills in Indiana, the words, “oh dear”, did not reflect the emptiness of the fuel tank. Thank goodness the winery was in sight up, yet up another hill.  We coasted around the corner and had nothing to do but park.

We walked up the hill and I entered the Ertel Cellars Winery, to be greeted with those wonderful words, “and how are doing”, to which I replied, “not good”.  Michelle, I had never met her, but spoke on the phone, looked puzzled, so I explained.  She said for us to get seated and not to worry, so we did in this pleasant restaurant with its bar, buffet and wine making vat area below.

Our driver was certainly apologizing profusely and as we all visited the wonderful buffet, chef told us to relax, enjoy the buffet and the wine, someone will get us gas for the Hummer. They were genuinely concern for our enjoyment and I can tell you, the food was most excellent and a variety of great brunch specials.  Now the wine… ah the wine, a bouquet and taste that was unexpected for a winery we did not know.  I have say, it was excellent and highly recommended.

Michelle, our waitress was friendly, concerned and made our experience magnificent.  The Hummer got gas and moved to the parking lot and we filled our bellies with super food and wine, respecting the drinking and driving laws of course.

If there is anywhere in the world to run out of gas, it is right next door to the Ertel Cellars Winery and that is not all, the Sunday Brunch is ****’s four stars, as is the customer service.  I hear they have a Seafood Buffett on Fridays starting this Friday, yes Good Friday. I believe we need to be there!  Will you?

Thank you one and all, including Derek!

Are You in Your Right Mind?

It is All in the Mind...

by Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, 

Tracometry Group of Companies.

Having posted information on the brain and reports, we also stated that Next Event Predictability was not a movie and that we can predict crime and stop it.  Some gentlemen who works for a Senator, as the Chief of Staff thought that was bad news.  Excuse me?

We are addressing this directly as I will explain in depth to him and his employer of the lack of understanding in government.

Now to the point at hand:

Further Update on Criminal Activity and Predictability. We have many other analytical abilities in commerce. Leading the way and understanding will change your business. http://lnkd.in/KTJeQS

Brain scans can predict whether a criminal is likely to reoffenddailymail.co.uk
According to American brain imaging experts, convicts showing low activity in an area of the brain associated with decision-making and action are more likely to be arrested again.

DeleteDave Vance i Dont believe that. there might be a problem with the brain mentally, but most re-offend because society could care less about them and the legal system makes it near to impossible to get free from it50 minutes ago
My response:
Your right to do so, not to believe. Sadly, it is a fact! The re-offender situation is worse that you think for exactly that reasoning you mention. Society does nothing to understand or rehabilitate the individuals as they become cast-offs. Recidivism is also banded around and even hard to pronounce, and who really know what it means. There are companies that train prisoners on work release, to have employment once they are released. Appreciated your comment and please understand more about us, we do care and have to solve the situation from both sides. Getting the criminal off the street before they do more damage to us and then change the mind-set of the individual by intervention.

Our ability to change our society is not on the big screen or a weekly television series, it happens in real time on the real streets of the world.

Inspiration

Sometimes you wonder...

By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, 

Tracometry Group of Companies.

We all have so much pressure, to some it is stress, never showing the inner turmoil, only in the privacy of the security of their four walls and sadly, with the ones they love, others just blow and show their rear-end.

I am as human as the next person, who has frustrations that do boil to the top.  I do not suffer with stress, but I do vent.  

Creating companies, products, marketing campaigns, community solutions and an overall change in life, is difficult.  Visionaries, pioneers, entrepreneurs and leaders have a lonely path to cut in the world and no one said it was going to be easy.  We do not do this for our ego, or, to be placed on a pedestal and neither, just to be the King, it is a driven inner factor that is our energy source that is churning 24/7.  Creation and the sharing of one's thoughts, it is as simple as that.

I received this information below from my brother Simon and he is right, it is awesome and on target.

Full Service, Full Circle, Fully Qualified… 

by Nick Ashton Founder, CEO, Tracometry Group of Companies.

Who said living was easy?  When it comes to all around us, the job is never ending, but a circle has no end, it is always connected and even if, sliced the two ends point at each other and can easily be fixed.  The Tracometry Group of Companies is your municipality, city, community, neighborhood, social

entity and corporate circle.  The ring of fire, the circle of wagons and so many other analogies are just some of the sayings that spring to mind when encirclement is suggested.  The encapsulation of it all, methods and importantly, solutions to close the circle tighter, inform, educate, restore, reintroduce, resolve and bring back the Trust, Respect And Pride (the perfect and social acceptable TRAP), to municipalities, cities and importantly at street level in the communities, which include, the schools, neighborhoods and people, the residents.

Too much is escaping from the communities, lost lives through street violence, teens killing teens, drug dealers and buyers infesting neighborhoods, rape, domestic violence, child endangerment, child and social abuse, lack of education and employment, people just not getting along…  It does not have to be this way!

So what are the elements for securing the success of municipalities, communities and neighborhoods and integrating social and corporate security for all?  Simply, a real future and not make believe and fairy tales.  The tales today are extremely Grimm… not in the case of Tracometry Group of Companies.

The Tracometry Group of Companies, sounds kind of heady like, nerdy, we are not!  Far from, we come from law enforcement, digital creation, financial reuniting of revenues and crime analytics.  Cops, Cash and Computers, so to speak, straight talkers!

Decisions, effective and resourceful decisions can only be made definitively with the right information.  This is where we are so different.  Collecting street level information is as simple a pen and paper, a digital pen and paper in our case.  The tablet and computer also, but everyone can use a pen, it is ubiquitous. 

Tracometry’s Penamatics handles digital input in real time from any type of form or document that normally would have to be typed or re-typed.  This is from the nib of the pen directly to the database, which can securely be shared with instant information.  From parking citations, traffic infractions, code enforcement, emergency management info, medical research information and the list goes.  If it is on paper we can capture and put it where it should be, from the written word to the digital format, that simple, that fast. 

Tracometry’s BAIR Analytics – Your Public Safety Department, can’t do without the tools, Full Crime Analytics, Tracking Calls for Service Data, Next Event Predictability. The entire BAIR suite of crime analysis products - ATAC Workstation, www.RAIDSOnline.com, which is for the 24/7 public information portal with anonymous crime information solutions, ATACRAIDS and ATAC Workstation is the most robust crime analysis workhorse you've ever seen. Over 500 law enforcement agencies think so, so does the DOD.  There's a free trial available, if you'd like to learn more contact us.

Tracometry’s Pied Piper Project – Communities in all cities have crime and social problems, by training your community officers and supervisors to negate liability, we change the landscape entirely.  Using analytics, data on crimes, criminals and domestic blight, we use the laws on the books and proven psychology to instill the change in a short period, with then follow-up remedial oversight. This includes law enforcement, animal control, code enforcement and landlord/tenant issues, collectively we have enveloped the community and work on education, social skills, employment, intervention regarding criminals and anti-social behaviors.

Tracometry’s Recoupeit, reuniting revenues, is the ability to address and collect outstanding adjudicated revenue from the courts, property taxes etc.  Our expertise has been in operation for over twenty years in Europe and these years of success are now available in the USA.  Why not use a company that approaches with street level understanding or the principles and social understanding of un-collected funds and the difference it will make to your city.  

We look at this street level issue and non-collections from an anthropologic approach. We must review and take on social control myths which should be of interest to everybody who's actively dealing with social structures that have disintegrated, eroding the whole purpose of social living and individual/corporate success. 

Businesses today, are completing their daily tasks on a global basis in a vast market place. The only constant is change, change occurs at an unprecedented pace and in today's world, strategic planning is a must for survival in this highly competitive market condition. Leaders of industries must always look ahead, able to anticipate change and develop a strategy to proactively and successfully navigate through the turbulence created by change.

At the same time, strategic planning is crucial, as all levels of the organization needs to provide the purpose and direction of the business. There is no way that we could do a thing without having a direction of where we are heading to. Everyone in the organization needs to know what they sell, produce or do, who the target customers are and how they should compete. Without strategic planning, businesses simply drifts and only react to the pressure of that particular day. Those organizations that do not plan will have exponentially higher rates of costs and failure than those who plan and implement expeditiously.

A successful strategic planning teaches business leaders to accept that yesterday's success does not ensure the success in the future. It is understanding of collecting the information, analytical reviewing and implementing the requirements in a timely fashion.  There is no excuse, planning is hard work for as much time, energy and commitments that are spent on these factors for the success. It is worth it!

Without doubt, the best plans and ideas, without great execution, are just plans or ideas, they do not bring any result or benefit to anyone. Therefore, a right and talented personnel is important to make sure the strategies which are implemented effectively and efficiently make the vital difference. Regardless of the size of an organization, a strategic plan is the foundation on which all business activities can be connected and "aligned". It is the key to bring an organization to the survival and victory.

So what happened to our civil social communities?  Was there a brick wall built to stop us reviewing, implementing and looking at our infrastructure, housing, employment, public safety, education and the civility of neighbors and their families?

The Tracometry Group of Companies is available to assess your needs on all of our capabilities, let us have a logical conversation on your issues that keep you up at night and see where we can start.  Every city is different and every case has different tabs and notes, Tracometry Group of Companies has more than two ears and listens to your concerns and we will evaluate together our plans and solutions.

Have You Had, Just One Of Those Days?

Have You Had, Just One of Those Days?

By Nick Ashton, CEO/Founder, Tracometry Group of Companies.

Planning is both part of our social and business lives and effectively managing your valuable time is of the utmost importance.  Today, we use digital diaries, calendars and of course, all on our smart mobile phone.  The appointments that you make are walking around with you and the electronic reminders keep us in-touch and on time.

You can make the appointment and plan what that meeting is to be about and what you want to achieve.  If it is a one on one meeting, you have the opportunity to control the content and guide the outcome.  In some respects, it depends on your character and the acceptance, in business, of the other party’s reception of you. 

If you, and a team are meeting with a potential client, there enters the massive variables of conversation and how you are now just one of a group, guiding your client to the desired outcome for all.  Difficult, when the script is among your team and you have free flow input from your client, he or she may have just page one of the script, but, the final scene, has never been rehearsed or finalized. 

The team has the pre-planned goal, with individual overtones and the client is having to listen to different people, voices, personalities and all within a time constraint.  The clock is ticking and so it should, the time window of opportunity is ever diminishing and the structure for completion on time and target for all parties is vital.

How often do you have day of appointments with three different clients, all on the same subject, but from different perspectives and keep on track, on time and on point?  I know, a long question, but why I bring it up is simple, I am proud to be part of a winning and successful team that provides services and solutions that are second to none and serve our clients and potential clients in a most professional cohesive manner.

We have two ears and one mouth and listening to your client’s situations, what keeps them in a business sense, up at night, is so important for both of you.  When there are five in the room and one a speaker phone, it is not the most conducive environment and in many cases, doomed to fail.  Not in our case, I was pleased and proud to be one among the team and have respect for all in the room.

Meeting people for the first time is not easy and the key is simple, be you, listen and importantly respect the time window you have.  Sure, traffic can play a part on being on time, use the phone and call if you know you are running behind and stopping for all traffic lights.  That is respect to the potential client.

So yesterday was one of those days, a great day for all concerned, our team and potential clients, as we have respect for all and their input to allow us to provide the solutions in a more than amicable way.

I plan for days like this every day and it is the initial connection and follow through that makes the difference.

Thank you team, and thanks to our folks we meet with...  together we can make that important difference.

WE are in the NOW and KEEP YOU; in the KNOW...

Do Not Ignore...

Write It Off Or

Pick Up The Pieces?

By Nick Ashton, CEO/Founder, 

Tracometry Group of Companies.

Run-down, dilapidated, crime-infested and drug-ridden are descriptors that homeowners typically avoid attaching to their neighborhoods — unless those terms describe what the area was like before its revitalization. 

Wait a second!  What revitalization?  Our neighborhoods are going to hell in a hang basket!

Have you driven around your city, I mean places you have never been or seen before?  We just did and wow!  Houses boarded up, seedy folks hanging on the only house left on the block, if you can call it house, on a street with folks hanging on street corners, which look like they just dropped in from a scene from Escape from New York.

Seeing a neighborhood fall apart in front of your eyes, never happens, it is like, now you see, now you don’t.  Like driving to work the same way each day, you miss the construction of a tall building, until, you stop in traffic at a place you have never stopped before, turn, and see this monstrosity that seems to have appeared from nowhere, right in front of your eyes.  You know the feeling…

So what has happened to a country that had it all?  What are we, a third world country?  Do we need to go to the United Nations and ask for aid?  It sure looks that way!  No disrespect to Third World countries, at least you are moving forward and this nation has taken an almighty drop…

I look at pictures of Africa, Syria, Haiti, and Cuba, blinking and cursing under my breath on what I am seeing and feeling on their situation. I have walked the streets of London, I grew up there, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Liberia, smelled the poverty, kicked the trash and looked in the eyes of hopeless people, knowing back then, that we, in America, had never had it so good.  How wrong I was!  Today, just look at us!  How can we just continue as if nothing is wrong?

Detroit is broke!  It has nothing but people who live day to day, children who have no future if the family stays.  Then again, where do you go, when you have no money for the bus, if it is still running?

The Michigan governor has brought in a financial manger to assist in finding out what has gone wrong and how it can be saved.  Do what?  A bit late, when your own administration has run it into the ground.  Once the King of the Automobile industry is up on blocks and the body has been stripped of all that was worth saving.  Who is next on the list?  Have you looked out the window lately?

The news tells us each day of the violence, sexual and domestic abuse, crime and the death of another teen or someone in a home invasion.  It will take education, intervention, employment opportunities and a real jolt of reality which is not going to happen, unless the community and neighborhood roll up their sleeves and can see the path out of their pitiful existence.  

So what are you going to do?  Sitting there drinking your Latte, in a sterile Starbucks, among others who choose to ignore the blight that is all around you. 

I am not!  I am a doer, like the city I live in and cities around me that have a vision, an achievable vision and daily, work on all the aspects of running a business.  Communities are a business and so are the people within those communities and they cannot be left to their own devices. Cities and municipalities have the citizens as their clients and must serve them to the best of their abilities.  Those that wish to continue, the “them and us syndrome”, you will be left by the wayside, only to be found by our future anthropologists and historians in the big book of failure.  Examples of how not live your life and to be a dis-service to your fellow man, woman and child.

You see, we are seeing the results of the entitlement generations that is firmly entrenched in their DNA.  This is the government assistance programites.  A sickness that has been left to fester and placed on the bottom of the list of things to do.

We do not need mouth pieces who only come out when the television news cameras are rolling and go back to study their books and just prayer for action.  We need and require people who have a conscious and the will to be part of the biggest change America needs right now.

It is about pro-activity, not delayed reactionary failure.

So are we going to write it off or pick-up the pieces? 

I know where I stand and the effort I am placing on picking up the pieces…
