Human Element Canada - JULABO USA

Human Element

People often forget about the relationship they’ll have with a company once they make a purchase. They evaluate how the product works and what it can do for them, but, in the end, it’s the human element that matters more than any other feature or benefit.

At JULABO, it’s our people that make the difference. Here are some of their stories.

Thinking Beyond the Application

Using temperature control to enhance business

Marilyn Laporte, Canadian account manager for JULABO USA, knows her job is about more than temperature control solutions. She uses liquid temperature control products to address bigger business issues. Finding the right equipment to heat and cool an application or process is essential, but so is finding a solution that protects and enhances business. Laporte routinely thinks about how a TCU (temperature control unit) will affect people and daily life in the lab. She’s a big advocate for helping businesses make smart decisions that they’ll feel good about from every angle. She knows that JULABO’s TCUs are part of a larger effort — that they’re being used for critical innovations, research, and discovery. That’s why her focus is on helping customers, whether it’s scientists in a lab, OEMs, lab suppliers, or distributors, think about the big picture and how their equipment affects operations and other aspects of the business. Laporte works directly with JULABO’s inhouse chemist and senior product manager to meet all the technical and scientific requirements while advocating for the customer’s needs post-sale. For Laporte, it’s about more than the TCU. It’s about adding value, which is why she’s an enthusiastic advocate for JULABO’s service offerings. Laporte is naturally curious about how she can help others protect their business interests. You can read more about her approach here and how it can help you.

More about Marilyn

“It’s important to make sure the TCU (temperature control unit) will run the application, but it’s also important to address the reality in the lab —what would happen if the application went down, how much would it cost them?”

— Marilyn Laporte, Account Manager, Canada, JULABO USA

High Tech and Human

Virtual and personal support

It seems Dirk Frese, our VP of sales, marketing, and service might be a bit psychic. For the last few years, he’s been working on some high tech, 21st-century technologies that have prepared us well for these strange times. His passion for innovation has made it possible for us to deliver, install, train, and service customers from afar. And while we’ve launched things like virtual delivery, augmented reality service through LucaVision, and holographic displays to reduce shipping costs, customer wait times, and carbon footprints, we’ve always done it with one thing in mind — helping people. Dirk was recently interviewed by Neil C. Hughes for the Tech Talks Daily Podcast where he shared how high tech innovation using a human approach can help propel us into a brighter future.

Listen to the Podcast

Technology has helped us prepare for the future and brought us closer to our customers. But, technology isn’t enough, you have to pair it with the human element. You have to make technology attractive, exciting, personal, and valuable to the customer and the relationship.
