What We Evaluate

Product knowledge. Market knowledge. Commercial strength.

The strongest fluid power professionals understand more than a product category. They know how components work together, where they are applied, who influences the buying decision and how the product reaches the customer. We help you look beyond job titles to understand the experience behind them.

01

Product experience

What hydraulic, pneumatic, sealing or hose products have they sold, supported or specified?

02

Application knowledge

Do they understand how the product is used in mobile, industrial or engineered applications?

03

Customer relationships

Have they sold to OEMs, end users, distributors, integrators or other channel partners?

04

Sales approach

Have they succeeded in territory development, account growth, specification selling or complex technical sales?
