Pressure selling

There are, of course, many thousands of experienced water treatment, field service representatives around the world who are sound in both the technical and the sales sides of the job. But the best representatives are generally those people who are not only extremely technically astute, but who also excel at selling. This is not a reference to any dubious practices of high-pressure selling, but rather the ability to inspire confidence and loyalty from their customers, due to their honesty, experience, and motivational and organizational skills on-site.

Development The following discussion relates specifically to the use of what could be called radial-inflow, centrifugal-pump power-recovery turbines. It does not apply to the type of unit nurtured by the hydroelecti ic industry for the 1 ge-horsepower, large-flow, low- to medium-pressure differential area of hydraulic water turbines of the Felton or Francis runner type. There seems to have been little direct transfer of design concepts between these two fields the major manufacturers in the hydroelectric field have thus far made no effort to sell to the process industries, and the physical arrangement of their units, developed from the requirements of the hydroelectric field, is not suitable to most process-plant applications. 

Failure of water pressure can spell disaster in laboratories where some operations, such as distillations, are dependent on water. Ideally, an audible alarm would indicate the lack of water pressure. Laboratory supply houses sell water flow indicators that can be placed in series with the water line to equipment. When water is flowing, a brightly colored ball in a clear tube will move or a small propeller will turn. These can be observed from a considerable distance by watchful laboratory personnel. 

A compressed air line generally terminates with a valve and a pressure regulator. Such regulators are available from laboratory supply houses, but less expensive ones from stores selling welding supplies may often be acceptable. 

Polyethylene, a thermoplastic, is the largest selling plastic material. LDPE is a branched polyethylene whose branches prevent close packing and gives low density. HDPE is polyethylene that has essentially no branching, so the molecules pack very well, which leads to high density and high crystallinity. LLDPE is actually a copolymer prepared at low temperature and low pressure from a mixture of ethylene and about 10% of a C4-C8 olefin. 

The influence of RP on selling prices depends on the monopsony power of the buyer, the price elasticity of the product and the cross-price elasticity for substitute products, and also the coverage of products under RP. The situation most likely to result in equivalence between RP and price-cap regulation is when there is a majority buyer, the number of products under RP is very large and demand is very elastic. In general, the RP system attains its objectives best when the pharmaceutical bill has a close relationship with price pressure and when price differentials in the market for equivalent products are high, which has clear links with the presence of generics. 

The FCC exerted pressures for change by establishing a set of aggressive milestones that each new satellite radio provider was required to meet in order to maintain its eight-year dedicated license, although, interestingly, the milestones did not preclude these firms from selling their new licenses to other firms. In the first year, XM and SIRIUS were... 

Such difficulties and problems, which are arguably inherent in an industry selling chemicals that even (and especially) their customers claim to be hazardous, do not decrease the sales pressures of applicators, but instead increase them. Despite the growth in the number of lawns nationally, with a more difficult-to-maintain customer base, more resources must be dedicated to increasing communication, advertising, and sales, to redirect consumer attention from chemical risks. 

In sum, the industries that manufacture, process, and sell inputs for the lawn find themselves under increasing pressure to find and produce markets. Global chemical producers, with rising costs and constrained markets, require consumer outlets to move a glut of chemicals under conditions of falling prices. 

You have to shake your head in wonder when you think about how the largest selling plastic was developed—by accident. In 1933, the scientists at the ICI labs in England were attempting to make styrene by the high-pressure reaction of benzaldehyde with ethylene. Instead, they ended up with a reactor lined with a solid, white, wax-like material—polyethylene.
