	Friday Fax A Weekly Summary of Polywater^® News of Incredible Importance

Issue #693

Yesterday the outside temperature in our vicinity of Minnesota rose from below zero overnight to a balmy 3° F for the daytime high. And this is a mild winter. Cacti won't grow. Old people become brittle and break. This why both stay to the south in warmer climes.

It's also why utility crews avoid all but absolutely necessary outside field work. Being aware of this, it's easy to assume that as a result winter becomes a more difficult time to sell live-line treatment products, because--at least in colder northern climes--product usage should theoretically decline.

Not necessarily so.

Ask yourself this question: "What do live-line crews do when they are not outside on the job?" Answer: they spend more time in the shop, cleaning and maintaining their equipment--or at least, they should. Cold, miserable weather is often an ideal time for sales calls on utility line crews.

When you make the call, highlight Polywater's four live-line treatment products as listed on the Live-Line Products Menu Page:

S-1^™ Hot Stick Cleaner & Water Repellent Wipes
B-1^™ Boom Truck Prewash Wipes
W-1^™ Live-Line Tool Wax & Buff Wipes
RBG^™ Rubber Goods Cleaner Wipes & Bulk

Focusing your sales efforts by timing your calls on the weather can pay dividends. Presenting products back at the shop is always easier than trying to sell a lineman something while he or she is perched 20 feet overhead in a lift bucket.
