Don’t Be Left Out In The Cold

Cold weather is here and if you have customers who are looking for a quick, safe, and portable way to supply temporary heat to keep workers comfortable and systems running smoothly, then take a look at the Armstrong Solutions designed to withstand cold weather environments.


These solutions are ideal to warm up large facilities and provide safe operation near flammable or hazardous materials because they have no open flame. Plus, with our HotBreath™ Quick Ship Program, you can order up to 5 standard units for delivery within 10-15 business days! Check out the Armstrong Configurator for more information on selection and pricing and contact the Armstrong Heat Transfer Group at 450-378-2655 for more information and application support.

Stock Up For Winter

Colder temps are here and now is the time to ensure your customers' plants can function smoothly and safely without interruption throughout the winter. Stock up and replenish your steam trap inventory so you’re ready to help customers address failures. Contact the Steam and Condensate Group or call (269) 279-3434 today and stock up on replacements. Below is the promotion email sent to customers and reps earlier this week.

Armstrong Industrial Market Rep Market School Attendees


We had a great turnout for our Industrial Market Representative Training School in Three Rivers on September 11th – 15th. Thanks to everyone who participated!

New Rep Onboarding and Orientation

Has your organization hired new Representatives? Or, has a current Representative changed jobs or perhaps retired? We like to keep our records neat and clean, but we need your help. When there are changes in your organization, log in to your User Portal and click/submit the "Employee Onboarding/Offboarding Form" to keep our business systems updated.

When a new Representative is registered, they will automatically be enrolled in Armstrong's Rep Orientation. The rep will be assigned a username and password to access the Armstrong User Portal and Armstrong University as well as be added to our email distribution lists. Please allow up to 24 hours for a new rep account to be created.

You can also use the form to essentially "remove" a departing Representative from Armstrong's records as well. We appreciate your help in ensuring we always have the most up-to-date contact information for your company. If you have any questions or need help in updating your organization's records, please contact us now.

 

As our business grows, naturally so does yours. To fortify our partnership and reinforce our support, we have reenergized and restructured our existing Rep onboarding program to better serve new representatives as they begin their selling journey.

Armstrong’s Rep Orientation will include a targeted Armstrong University® curriculum built specifically for Reps supported by Virtual Knowledge “Check Ups”. Once complete, collaborative in-field mentoring will follow ensuring you can apply knowledge to practice on customer calls.
