Sales and technical depth, checked together.

A logo on a resume isn't proof. These questions are where we start.

Sales

“How do you sell a Niagara upgrade to a facility director who thinks the old system works fine?”

Engineering

“A Niagara front end keeps losing BACnet devices. Where do you start?”

Sales

“Walk me through a controls bid you won against the incumbent. What changed the owner's mind?”

Engineering

“A data hall's CRAH units are fighting each other. How do you trace it?”

Then we check the numbers they carried, the buyers they sold to, and whether the engineers they worked with would work with them again.
