What’s more exciting than kicking off a new manufacturing project? Finding out you need to make a design change halfway through your first production run🚩 What’s not so exciting about that: the cost of the design change is now X1000 more expensive😵‍💫 Here’s how to avoid this:

@whitney_m_koch @USMarketingPro @SocialSMktg Gene Wilder was just ahead of his time #USAMFGHOUR

Let's talk about movies and shows. 📺 𝗤𝟰. What is your favorite manufacturing-related movie or TV show? #USAMfgHour

@SocialSMktg A4) That one TV show about Tiny homes! #USAMFGHOUR

@SocialSMktg A3) The infamous Wilson "airless" 3D-printed basketball #USAMFGHOUR

𝗤𝟯. What is your favorite product that is made by manufacturing - food, clothing, technology? #USAMfgHour

@DCSCInc @SocialSMktg Awesome shirt!! 😂 #USAMFGHOUR

@SocialSMktg A2.) #USAMfgHour Since the majority of Ford F150s are assembled in the USA I'm going with that! Next I got this T-Shirt that was UUSA Made and it says, "Y'All ain't Right!" I swear I'm gonna wear this often. 😆

What are your picks for made-in-the-USA products? 𝗤𝟮. What made in the U.S. product/s do you own/have right now? What do you like about it? #USAMfgHour

@SocialSMktg If I had to pick right now I'd say yes. If we did a superhero draft and I had some prep time then I might have some contenders.🤔 #USAMFGHOUR

@PPT_Molding Is he your favorite hero? 😎 #USAMfgHour

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀 It's a happy hour and we begin with this question. 𝗤𝟭. If you could have any superpower related to manufacturing, which superhero would you be? #USAMfgHour

@SocialSMktg A2) Wow so many good choices. But I going with Owen Handball Gloves - made in Iowa #USAMFGHOUR

Major announcement! After much deliberation and reflection about the state of our city, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and actually do something. I decided to run for Redmond City Council and bring accountability and transparency to the city government. If you are living in Redmond please vote for me and if you are not in Redmond, please consider donating to my campaign. Also, looking for some local volunteers to help with the campaign. DM me. paul4redmond.com/?fbclid=IwAR0R…

@JohnSpeikers Thanks for the feedback

@PPT_Molding Plastics are killing the planet ...

Welcome to the #USAMFGHOUR Twitter Chat! I'm your host - Chase Bodor from Plastics Plus Technology, INC. Today we'll cover how improving your sales process can benefit your entire customer's experience in respect to service quality. Please introduce yourselves!

@pavelStepanov77 @virtudeskcom FAQ's and a solid knowledge-base go a long way! It also help when those are deployed in a way that is not TMI for the customer and is part of the experience - like a nice video explainer! #USAMFGHOUR

@virtudeskcom @PPT_Molding Yup, I agree. Knowledge-based and FAQs can definitely help. #USAMfgHour

Q4) How can your team remove the guesswork for your customer? #USAMFGHOUR

@SFandS_LLC Hey Missy Good to see you in the chat! I've been MIA too - this spring/ summer has been busy so far. What's new with you??? #USAMFGHOUR

@PPT_Molding Hi Chase! Sorry I'm (very) late. And sorry to the rest of my #USAMfgHour fam for being AWOL the last few weeks. I'm Missy Moorefield from Southern Fasteners & Supply and I've missed you all...

@virtudeskcom SPOT ON!!! #USAMFGHOUR

@PPT_Molding A5: During a tough business climate, it becomes critical to focus on high-potential prospects and prioritize sales efforts effectively. A well-defined sales process helps identify and target the most promising opportunities and allocate resources accordingly. #USAMfgHour

Q5) Can a better sales process overcome tough business climate? #USAMFGHOUR

@USMarketingPro Great mindset to have. When the going gets tough- the tough get going!! #USAMFGHOUR

@snippetsbyAmy Thank you!! #USAMFGHOUR

Thank you #USAMfgHour chat as always! I hope everyone enjoy the chat and got something out of it. Take these ideas and build on them!

@SocialSMktg Sort of. It's like creating a customer persona - but for one specific account. You can create a general account map for a business persona and map their journey and internal influences - its a lot of research and testing though. #USAMFGHOUR

@PPT_Molding Does this have something to do with customer journey mapping? #USAMfgHour

Q2) what is account mapping? How can it be used in this context? #USAMFGHOUR

@SocialSMktg @SocialSMktg @DCSCInc Of course! The aspect that I do like about the challenger model is that it can totally change the customer's prospective of how the problem can be approached. If they're stuck on X being their best solution - a challenger can rebut. #USAMFGHOUR

@SocialSMktg Here is a summary: blog.hubspot.com/sales/challeng… I don't quite agree with all aspects of the model - but the approach as some value. #USAMFGHOUR

A4) Eliminate the guesswork by: 1.using guided selling 2.reducing response time 3.aligning sellers with buyers 4.taking a "challenger" sales approach 5.training sellers to be up-to-date on the latest challenges in the industry so they can educate buyers. #USAMFGHOUR

A5) A proactive sales and support team can work to protect their pipeline and refine the customer experience. This will help ensure that new, prospective customers feel safe moving forward. #USAMFGHOUR

@snippetsbyAmy It shows you're putting in the work to not just get through a checklist and add numbers to your book. You're actually interested in the problem at hand and are proactive about them! #USMAFGHOUR
