What We Evaluate

Product knowledge. Application understanding. Commercial strength.

The strongest filtration professionals understand more than a product category. They know the process, the media being filtered, the operating conditions, the customer’s performance goals and how the equipment fits into the larger system.

01

Product experience

What filtration, separation or treatment equipment have they sold, supported or helped customers specify?

02

Application knowledge

Do they understand flow, media, contaminants, pressure, temperature, efficiency and process requirements?

03

Customer relationships

Have they sold to OEMs, distributors, engineering firms, municipalities, plants or end users?

04

Sales approach

Have they succeeded in technical sales, project selling, specification work, territory development or strategic account growth?
