Choose the right perspective
Match the person's role to your question, since running a single retail location, managing an agronomy division and leading a sales team each involve different decisions. Also consider the region and crops the person worked with, because input programs and grower needs vary widely across areas.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you staff and organize an agronomy location for the busy spring and fall seasons?
- 02How do you train and manage sales agronomists so growers get consistent recommendations?
- 03What makes growers stay with one ag retailer for seed, fertilizer and crop protection rather than shopping around?
