            šŸ’” Field Team End-of-Year Tips

            šŸŽ§ Start at 04:02

            Our outside sales and field service pros share their best insights for closing the year strong:

            🚧 1. Turnkey Tank Installations

            šŸŽ§ Bert Venner – 04:13–05:13

            Did you know Poly Processing offers full-service tank installations?

            Submit a Tank Install RFQĀ via the SendĀ dropdown on P3Ā to get contractor support and a complete turnkey project.

            šŸ“ Recent installs:

            • 12 tanks in New York City
            • 3 tanks in Virginia
            • Lock in more sales by bundling install services!

              šŸ” 2. Reconnect with Old Customers

              šŸŽ§ Craig Roberts – 05:16–06:22

              When leads slow down:

              • Review old POsĀ and offer free tank inspections
              • Engage chemical suppliers — they often lead you back to potential tank users
              • Stay proactive: replacements are often required every few years.

                🧾 3. Finalize Pending Orders

                šŸŽ§ Chris Shepherd – 06:47–07:16

                Year-end success starts with clean order flow.

                Ensure:

                • Drawings are approved
                • Delays are flagged early
                • PO's move to ā€œRelease to Manufacturingā€Ā quickly
                • Goal: Ship every possible order before year-end!

                  āš–ļø 4. Selling Against FRP (Fiberglass)

                  šŸŽ§ Bob Molitsky – 07:23–08:16

                  For tanks up to 10,000 gallons, Poly tanks hold both engineeringĀ and pricing advantagesĀ over FRP.

                  Between 10K–15K gallons, lean on technical merits — reach out to your Regional Manager to position the sale effectively.

                  🧰 5. Field Insights: Venting & Flexible Connections

                  šŸŽ§ Dan Comp – 08:19–09:29

                  • Watch for misaligned connections — don’t rely on expansion joints to correct them.
                  • Use the F.S.2650 ventĀ as your go-to solution for larger tanks.
                  • Consider adding an extra access portĀ for fill-rate pressure testing.
                  • This ensures safe venting and optimal fill efficiency.

                    šŸ“˜ 6. Empowering End Users with Smart Tools

                    šŸŽ§ Tony Grijalva – 09:54–10:46

                    Share the Smart Fit GuideĀ with your end users — available under Fittings & AccessoriesĀ on our website.

                    It helps customers plan their own layouts for fittings and orientations, saving you setup time.
