Your week, imagined

Monday starts on the plant floor, where you meet with R&D and leadership to translate customer feedback into product improvements. On Tuesday, you’re at a plastics processor leading an on‑site trial, ensuring a flawless implementation of a specialty lubricant solution. Midweek, you analyze application data, refine your consultative sales strategy, and prioritize opportunities across a well‑defined territory rich with existing relationships.

Thursday is for building market presence—coordinating upcoming domestic and international trade shows and mapping emerging applications. By Friday, you’re closing the loop with key accounts, opening doors to new business, and planning the next set of technical demos.
