FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers before you start your 30-day free trial.
Is JobbersWorld|PRO replacing the free JobbersWorld newsletter?
No. The free JobbersWorld newsletter will continue.
JobbersWorld|PRO is a premium intelligence layer for subscribers
who need deeper analysis, data, and market interpretation.
What does JobbersWorld|PRO include?
JobbersWorld|PRO is built around three core areas: Market
Intelligence, Pricing Intelligence, and Decision Tools.
Subscribers receive deeper reports and outlooks, proprietary
pricing indicators and benchmarks, and access to a growing library
of practical lubricant-industry decision-support tools. Specific
features and publication frequency may evolve as the service
develops.
What are JobbersWorld|PRO Decision Tools?
Decision Tools are practical calculators and screening tools
designed to help lubricant-industry professionals evaluate pricing,
profitability, supply risk, reformulation, product positioning,
portfolio strategy, and operational questions. They are intended
for planning and screening purposes and do not replace technical,
laboratory, regulatory, legal, or commercial review.
Will new Decision Tools be added?
Yes. The tool library is intended to expand over time based on
market developments, recurring industry needs, and subscriber
feedback.
How often are the pricing tools updated?
The Retail Lubricant Price Monitor is expected to be updated
quarterly, with additional updates when significant market
developments warrant. The JobbersWorld Lubricant Price Index
(JLPI) is planned for quarterly publication once its methodology
and component coverage are finalized.
What is the difference between Founding Individual and Standard Individual?
Founding Individual is the early-launch rate for individual
subscribers. It provides the same access as the Standard Individual
plan, but at $495/year instead of the regular $695/year rate if
JobbersWorld|PRO is officially activated following the founding
evaluation period. The founding rate is locked for 24 months.
What happens after my 30-day complimentary founding access?
You will not be charged during the 30-day founding launch and
evaluation period, and no payment information is required to
participate. If JobbersWorld|PRO is officially activated as a paid
service, founding members will be invited to continue at the
$495/year founding rate. You will not be automatically enrolled
in a paid subscription.
What happens if JobbersWorld|PRO does not proceed to a full paid launch?
JobbersWorld|PRO is being introduced through a 30-day founding
launch and evaluation period. If participation does not support
the service on a sustainable basis, Petroleum Trends International,
Inc. may elect not to proceed with the full paid launch. Founding
participants will not be charged.
How often will JobbersWorld|PRO publish?
During the founding evaluation and, if the service proceeds to a
full paid launch, JobbersWorld|PRO is expected to publish premium
reports and analysis on a recurring basis throughout the year.
The initial target is approximately 2 to 4 premium reports per
quarter, plus periodic special alerts, quarterly market outlooks,
and the Annual Review & Business Forecast. Publication
frequency may vary based on market developments and the final
launch scope.
Can companies subscribe for multiple users?
Yes. Small Team, Company, Corporate, and Enterprise plans are
available for organizations that want access for multiple users.
Can we pay by invoice?
Yes. Company, Corporate, and Enterprise organizations may request
invoice-based access. No invoice will be issued unless
JobbersWorld|PRO is officially activated and the access arrangement
is confirmed.
Who publishes JobbersWorld|PRO?
JobbersWorld|PRO is a premium market intelligence product from
Petroleum Trends International, Inc., publisher of JobbersWorld.
Is consulting included?
Limited advisory access may be included in selected Company,
Corporate, and Enterprise plans. Additional advisory time may be

not include advisory time.
