How to Quote Alliance Products Step By Step Best Practices for Authorized Business Partners & Their Support Staff
Spec Smart Quick Start Quote against your competitor’s products to jump start your initial sales… Compare the nomenclature of the competition to the corresponding Alliance Nomenclature Use the Model Cross Reference Matrix and the Nomenclature Map
Spec Smart Quick Start Determine the approximate size or capacity of the unit. This can generally be found within the competitors model number, in the schedule under Capacity or in the written specification. Determine the power type / source / supply If the unit is gas fired or also called gas/electric, this limits the Alliance products to the Roof-top Product Offering; no other products made by Alliance are available for use with natural gas. Determine the kind of unit, Air-cooled Water Cooled Glycol Cooled Chilled Water Cooled Hybrid (air-cooled with Chilled Water coil, Water or Glycol cooled with Econmomy Cooling Option etc) Look Up the Description of the kind of unit on the first column of the Model Cross Reference Matrix and then locate the Competitors Name in the Column Header Note the Competitor’s model number and identify the corresponding Alliance Model Number (Be aware that engineers may often use incorrect model nomenclature-THE SCHEDULE DATA typically overrides the model number)
