Form-first layout consistently underperforms promise-block-first.  ·  V2 Design: Netceed-inspired dark page header, engineer profile card left, form card right, step cards on light bg, proof bar, footer wordmark.  ·  ← Back to Index

Talk to an Engineer —
Not a Sales Rep

For engineers with technical questions before a project reaches the commercial stage. Our applications engineers specialize in application fit — not account management.

"Not a Sales Rep" is load-bearing conversion language. Do not truncate. The qualifier directly addresses the fear that prevents validation-stage buyers from submitting.
Zone 3 — Two-Column Layout: Engineer Profile Card (left) + Contact Form Card (right)
Zone 3a — Engineer Profile Card (photo .ph-img, name, title, creds, specialty badges)

[Engineer Name]
Applications Engineer — Data Center & BESS
P.E. UL 1973 IEC 62619
Specializes In
Data Center and AI Infrastructure UPS
Telecom Reserve Power (NEBS / central office)
BESS and Grid Storage Applications
OEM Integration and BMS Configuration
Applications engineers are separate from the commercial team. Their job is application fit — not account management.
Credential display — not testimonials. Named deployments or aggregate application metrics only. No "Facilities Manager, Major Data Center" quotes.
Zone 3b — Context-Sensitive Trust Signals (from market page the buyer arrived from)
Relevant Certifications
UL 1973 Stationary battery systems
UL 9540 Energy storage systems
IEC 62619 Secondary lithium cells
ISO 9001 Quality management system

Zone 3c — Interim Value: Technical Resources Relevant Before the Call
Prepare for the Conversation

These resources help you make the most of 30 minutes:

📄 LFP vs. VRLA Comparison Guide — TCO methodology and decision framework
📊 NESP Rack Technical Datasheet — Full specifications with derating notes
🏭 AI Data Center Battery Requirements — Technical reference document
Zone 3d — Alternative Path: Direct Engineering Contact for Time-Sensitive Projects
Time-Sensitive Project?

If your project has a defined bid date or procurement deadline, note it in the form. Our team prioritizes time-sensitive inquiries.

For urgent requests: [Direct engineering line]

Engineering direct line — not a general sales number.
Zone 3e — Main Contact Form Card (.card white rounded shadow) with all form sections

Request Engineering Consultation

You'll be matched with an applications engineer within one business day. Not a sales coordinator.

Promise Block — BEFORE the form fields (load-bearing trust establishment)
What happens when you submit this form
  • ✓ Matched with an Applications Engineer (not a sales coordinator) within one business day
  • ✓ 30-minute call window at your preferred time — the commitment is firm
  • ✓ We will not send a sales presentation before the call. No pitch before understanding requirements.
  • ✓ No follow-up sales calls unless you ask for them — that's in writing
This block addresses the 4 fears preventing submission: 1) Sales disguise, 2) Pressure before ready, 3) Generic pitch, 4) Spam follow-up. Omitting any item re-opens those fears.
Radio vs. select: radio cards show all options at a glance, reducing cognitive friction for engineers who know their application type.
Routes your inquiry to the engineer with expertise in your application area
We don't share your contact information

You will receive a confirmation within one business day. No sales follow-up unless you request it.

Not ready to talk yet? Browse the Technical Library or read the LFP vs. VRLA guide first.

Spam prevention: Honeypot field only (hidden from users). No reCAPTCHA v2 — reCAPTCHA v2 blocks agentic form submission and increases abandonment with technical buyers who recognize the friction.
Promise block appears BEFORE form fields — this is not a preference, it is a conversion-rate requirement. Form-first layout underperforms promise-first consistently.
Zone 4 — What to Expect: 3 Step Cards on .bg-light (Review → Engineer Reaches Out → Technical Proposal)
After You Submit

What Happens Next

Three steps, one business day to first contact, no surprises.

1
We Review Your Inquiry

Your application details are reviewed by our applications engineering team within one business day. We identify the engineer who specializes in your specific application area.

✓ Within 1 business day
2
Engineer Reaches Out

We match you with the engineer who has expertise in your application and send a calendar link for a 30-minute call. The engineer reviews your application details before the call — you won't be starting from zero.

✓ 30-minute commitment — firm
3
Technical Proposal

The honest next step — whether that's a formal quote, a pilot deployment, or a conclusion that another product fits better. We will tell you if we're not the right fit.

✓ No pitch until requirements are understood
Step 3 language "another product fits better" is deliberate — it signals honest engineering guidance rather than sales. This increases submission rate among skeptical technical buyers.
Zone 5 — Proof Bar (.proof-bar) with 4 stats — dark navy background
1 day
First contact after submission
Average response time — not SLA
30 min
Fixed call duration commitment
Engineers don't schedule open-ended calls
4 +
Application specializations covered
Data Center, Telecom, BESS, OEM
0 pitch
No sales pitch before requirements
Confirmed in writing at request
Zone 6 — In 30 Minutes We Can Cover (Agenda Block — Engineers need concrete scope to schedule)
Call Agenda

In 30 Minutes, We Can Cover:

→

Your load profile and discharge requirements — so the cycle life recommendation reflects your actual operating conditions, not rated maximums

→

Site thermal environment — liquid-cooled LFP has specific installation requirements; we'll tell you upfront if your site adds complexity

→

LFP vs. VRLA questions specific to your application — bring your current VRLA replacement cost and service interval

→

Timeline and project structure — replacement vs. new installation, and the lead time variables that affect your schedule

→

The honest next step — whether that's a formal quote, a pilot deployment, or a conclusion that another product fits better

Concrete agenda eliminates the open-ended-call fear. Engineers won't schedule a call that has no defined scope or outcome. Every agenda item is outcome-specific.
Zone 7 — Confirmation Page Preview (Post-Submit — Not a Dead End — Second Conversion Opportunity)
This is a preview of the confirmation page shown after form submission. The confirmation page is the second conversion opportunity — deliver interim value, not an upsell.
