Choose the right perspective
Match the person's product area and region to yours, since marketing crop protection, fertilizers or farm equipment, and selling in different countries, each involve different channels, customers and rules. Also consider whether you need someone who came up through sales and commercial roles or through brand and strategic marketing.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you split marketing effort between growers, distributors and retailers when they all influence what gets bought?
- 02How do you launch a new crop input or agricultural product in a market where farmers trust established brands?
- 03Which measures do you use to judge whether seasonal agricultural marketing campaigns actually moved sales?
