Help With Packaging

We know that reps sometimes have trouble remembering how all the pieces fit together in the big world.   That's why APC's Webmaster includes packaging information on each individual online product flyer.   Take Polywater® Lubricant J for example.   How is an agent who represents thousands of individual products supposed to recall that a catalog #J-27 quart Front End Pack™ bag comes 12 per case?   Or that a catalog #J-99 is the same bag, but comes packaged as 16 units in a 5-gallon pail?   He simply views the flyer (www.polywater.com/polyj.html) and sees "Units/Case" in the Catalog Section.   For a quick listing of all product flyers, click on "Literature" on APC's homepage.

RBG at IEEE-PES Expo

APC's new Rubber Goods Cleaner grabbed the spotlight in the IEEE PES T&D eNewsletter, an electronic broadcast promoting products to be exhibited at the T&D Conference & Expo in Dallas on May 22-24.   According to the PR statement, "American Polywater's new 'Rubber Goods Cleaner' is a specially formulated water-based liquid that dissolves and removes grimes and contaminants that can degrade protective rubber tools used in the electrical industry.   Rubber Goods Cleaner restores the brightness to rubber goods, helping to uncover hidden damage and making them safer to work with, especially during storm restoration and vegetation trimming."   Boy, that's good writing!   I wonder who wrote it?   Click the image at left for the full story.

The Joke

Joke of the Week:   The Wit and Wisdom of Homer Simpson.   1) "Now, son, you don't want to drink beer.   That's for daddies, and kids with fake IDs."   2) "Marge, it takes two to lie.   One to lie and one to listen."   3) "Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'you're making a scene.'"   4) "Marge, don't discourage the boy!   Weaseling out of things is important to learn.   It's what separates us from the animals--except the weasel."   5) "If you really want something in life, you have to work for it.   Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers."   6) "Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy.   People die all the time.   Just like that.   Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow.   Well, good night."   7) "Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get."   8) "Lisa, if you don't like your job, you don't strike; you just go in every day and do it really half-assed.   That's the American way."   9) "Step aside everyone!   Sensitive love letters are my specialty.   'Dear Baby, Welcome to Dumpsville.   Population: You.'"   10) "Here's to alcohol!   The cause of--and solution to--all of life's problems!"   11) "I want to share something with you: the three sentences that will get you through life.   Number one, 'Cover for me.'   Number two, 'Oh, good idea, boss.'   Number three, 'It was like that when I got here.'"
