Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company type to yours, since marketing a global polymer or silicones maker differs from marketing an early-stage advanced materials business or a regional manufacturer. Also weigh whether each person came up through marketing, sales, business management or technical roles, and pick the background closest to your question.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you position a specialty material against cheaper alternatives that look similar on a data sheet?
- 02How do marketing, sales and application engineering share responsibility for getting a new material specified by customers?
- 03Which programs work best for reaching design engineers and procurement teams in your end markets?
