    3. Key Discussion Points Good product or bad product? Why isn’t it selling? How can we get the sales back on track? What lessons about NPD can we learn?

    4. What is the EVC of Kathon MWX?

    5. Why is R & H Optimistic about MWX? “There is an unmet market need!” Several customers requested for it Large potential: 150,000 potential customers; $20MM potential “We are capable of satisfying it!” Kathon 886 most effective biocide for large tanks We have great engineers! “We have a super product!” Kathon MWX can effectively extend metalworking fluid life. Safe, easy to use.

    7. Distributor Revenue per 50-gal Tank

    8. Why Isn’t MWX Selling? Product No sensed need from end customers Who makes decisions? (DMU) Is fluid life important to them? Price Too low (not realizing the economic value; low quality perception) Place Channel lacks incentive to push (partly due to cannibalization) Promotion Communications ineffective

    9. 6 reps had most biocide customers; spent 20-30% time on all biocide customers ? 1.5 FTE to sell biocides!

Strategic Options 1: Push thru formulators + We call on formulators - Do not reach end customers owners directly - We are asking them to cannibalize their primary line of business Pull on end customers seem to be the optimal option but not feasiblePull on end customers seem to be the optimal option but not feasible
