Useful questions.
Better conversations.

Practical preparation guides and downloadable worksheets for application enquiries, manufacturer introductions and product discussions.

Application preparation

A clearer brief. A better first conversation.

Gather the context that helps a technical representative understand your application and route the right questions.

Describe the application
Explain what the equipment needs to do and the operating context. Include existing equipment information when available.
Define the project
Add the project name, site location, stage and expected timing. Separate confirmed requirements from open questions.
List the information you need
Note product-data questions, quotation needs and any documents you want to review with the manufacturer.
Prepare supporting documents
Have relevant specifications and drawings ready. Attach the files you choose to share to your enquiry email.

Manufacturer conversations

A concise introduction helps establish whether a representation conversation is a good fit.

Start with the products
Summarize the product families, applications and customers you serve.
Explain your territory goals
Describe the Ontario opportunity, current coverage and areas you want to develop.
Outline the support
Identify the technical and commercial contacts, documentation and support available to a representative.
Bring the questions
List the responsibilities and expectations you want to discuss. Commercial terms and appointments need a direct agreement.

Product evaluation

Use a simple comparison worksheet to organize questions before deciding on the next step.

Record the source
Keep the product reference, manufacturer and documentation version with each option.
Match the requirements
Write down the stated requirements and where the available product information addresses them.
Mark what is unconfirmed
Keep missing information and questions visible. Ask the manufacturer to clarify product-specific claims.
Include the commercial context
Record quotation assumptions, scope, support and timing that still need confirmation.
