An uphill climb for buying equipment online
Article Abstract:
Internet auctioneers and online stores such as VerticalNet, iMark.com and AsseTrade.com have reported low sales of new and used chemical process equipment in 1999. Only 2% of their 1999 revenues of $109.3 billion came from selling this type of equipment. They believe that sales of process equipment failed to pick-up because of the consultative selling cycle needed by prospective clients to purchase such equipment, which takes months to be completed.
