The Pull-Planner Software Program may be the product that best embodies APC's market position as the technical leader in cable pulling lubrication. This computing marvel is the result of over thirty years of experience and research. We developed it to assist our good customers, contribute to the industry, help specify our products, and showcase our expertise. It works! Absolutely nothing we have differentiates and reflects positively on us more than this program. Our agents should be proud to represent it and eager to talk it up--but what we find is that it's often absent from the sales pitch for lack of knowledge and fear of appearing uninformed or computer illiterate. Thus we now begin a series of informational segments on individual features of the Pull-Planner. We hope that through increased education we can get the Pull-Planner mentioned in every sales call. We hope, too, that you recognize the Pull-Planner's value as a sales tool, not just as a line item to sell. Realize that discounted software offers work like magic at helping close big contractor sales or engineering specifications--or cementing relations at utilities, communications companies, and even distributors. Don't be shy about contacting APC for special-priced copies. |

Okay, we didn't invent the Internet, but we are pretty good with software. So, as promised above, we now begin a series of tutorials on the newly released Pull-Planner 3000 Software Program. Let's begin with a clarification of expectations. There will be no quiz. This is not pass or fail. What we expect is that each rep has a basic understanding of the program's capabilities--not necessarily first-hand knowledge of its inner workings. You're expected to be able to describe what the program can do for a client, not run calculations and design conduit systems yourself. Our first lesson is an easy one; we correct a major misconception about the program. Many agents believe that the sole function of the Pull-Planner is to "calculate lube quantity for a pull." It does this, but that's just one of many functions. In fact, that's not even its main function. What is the main function? That's next week's lesson. Hey, this is easy! |
