The Chemical Connection: Sales Organization from a Capital Equipment Perspective
07/22/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionThe sales organization for a capital equipment supplier to the PCB industry tends to differ slightly from a supplier that manufactures and sells circuit boards to their customers. After all, our sales depend on the printed circuit board manufacturer’s sales.

If your sales go up and you need to increase capacity or replace old equipment, our sales also trend upwards.
Marcy’s Musings: From Pitch to PO—The Sales Stack

Then, every single thing a business does in executing and fulfilling that sales agreement speaks directly to customer experience and whether more POs will follow.
