I can't stand spammers and people who post for the benefit of advertisement but this seems to be the honest angle of education on technologies used and the relativity to products in production.
Smart business knows how to use the spread of information to help create an informed and thus discriminating customer base.
Well see how it goes. I don't think IR sells direct, but this is an assumption. If so and he is really paid by IR direct, it is interesting to see a directive like this manifest.
Well... To answer your questions... I am an air engineer with IR out of the Denver Customer Center. Depending on the location within the country (or world for that matter) and the industrial population/need, IR sells through dealers, resellers, and direct. Some businesses even buy IR and resell on line in large volume but low margin. (beware of these online warehouses... warranty issues have been known to exist)
Most of what I do are with more custom applications of 50HP and above, but in Colorado (with the growth of the industry) I get a lot of inquiries about running the Haskell pumps (or similar). So I took it upon myself to learn about the business, process, etc. As an engineer I like to learn (and teach) so I will talk with most businesses direct as a technical resource for a reseller that buys from me or if it is a direct call I can sell direct. If out of my territory, I will then guide the end user to whom they can contact for start up assistance or service.
Long and the short... I will answer all questions and provide 'generic' information on line based upon my specs and capabilities. At that point, people can shop around or from me. If I help businesses and that helps me... it isn't a bad thing.
This is a new aspect/approach to what I normally do and I am enjoying it. So I too can't wait to see where it goes.
