Capex sales into plants that buy on a cycle

Industrial buyers plan capital spending in cycles, and the rep who knows where a plant is in that cycle sells to it. Everyone else gets 'send me some information'.

We build floors for equipment makers, component suppliers and industrial services selling into plants and operations teams.

The one thing a rep has to know

Budget conversations happen months before the purchase. A rep calling in the budgeting window is building a line item. A rep calling after is competing against one.

The buyers

  • Plant / operations manager

  • Engineering

    Spec, compatibility, standards.

  • Finance
