F2F Class Notes (Tony)

Homework

Using your product knowledge, give an example of how your product is superior to a competitor’s:

Example: Company A’s steel plate connectors have a lifespan of 3-5 years, where our steel plate connectors have a lifespan of 10 years, guaranteed.

Give an example demonstrating the value over time, by using your product instead of another:

Customers using our products have reported an increase in production of about 10-15%.

Vocabulary

The main purpose would be to familiarize ourselves with the application of HALFEN products in your projects and collect any feedback or advice from your side. We’d like to talk with your engineers to see how they are using our products. Just to gather some data about how our products are being applied, and in which industries.
