Six versions of the proposal
Each salesperson has their own, the best one is on a laptop that left, and a plant or a builder receives whichever was nearest.
Sales enablement for water-treatment companies is making sure whoever is in front of a plant or a builder has the best material the business owns: the capability document, the proposal that has won before, the case study with a name on it, the answer to the objection everyone hears. Most businesses have this in six versions on six laptops.
Where it usually goes wrong
Each salesperson has their own, the best one is on a laptop that left, and a plant or a builder receives whichever was nearest.
The work was good and nobody wrote it down. A case study with the client’s name and the result does the selling you cannot be in the room for.
Because everything they need to know is in someone’s head. A playbook makes month two look like month six.
What we would do
The order follows the versions: there is no sense improving a proposal while six copies of it live on six laptops, so the first job is one place, one owner and one current version of each document — the rewriting and the proof come after that.
One current version of everything the team needs — proposal, deck, capability document, objection answers — where they can find it.
The proposal and the deck rewritten around what a plant or a builder is worried about, not around the company history.
Client stories with the baseline, what changed, and a name — the document a buyer decides on.
How a water-treatment company sells, step by step, so a new hire is useful in weeks and the best person’s method belongs to the business.
Ask each person who sells to send you the last proposal they sent out. The usual finding is three different documents, one of them carrying prices you stopped charging a year ago — and putting that right is an afternoon, not a project. We do not publish a price; we scope the work in the free audit and put the fee in writing, split into our time, your media spend and production, before anything begins.
A baseline is recorded first, so a report can say what changed rather than describe activity. If something is not earning, we say so and stop it.

More for water-treatment companies
What a water-treatment company stands for, said plainly, and looking the same everywhere a buyer sees it.
Every step from a plant or a builder’s first search to the order, and where the enquiries are being lost along it.
A precise description of who buys from a water-treatment company, and who does not, so everything after it aims better.
Plain answers to the questions a plant or a builder asks before they enquire, published where they search.
The channels that bring a plant or a builder to a water-treatment company, run as one plan and measured as one.
Qualified enquiries every week, from a plant or a builder, at a cost you can see — and answered before they go cold.
Giving the people who sell the best material and knowledge the business has, in one current version, where they can find it. For water-treatment companies that is usually a proposal, a deck, two case studies and a page of objection answers — and it is missing more often than not.
A few weeks for the core kit — the proposal, the deck, the first case studies. A playbook takes longer, because it is written from watching how your best person actually sells.
The shortlist is made before the tender. Marketing, for water-treatment companies, is being known to a plant or a builder months earlier and having the proof ready — and a response process that does not miss the requirements you already qualify for.
There is no price list. A single clinic and an exporter are different orders of work, and a range wide enough to cover both tells you nothing. We scope it in the free audit and put the fee in writing before anything begins.
