Can a person who has done sales but doesn't know how to grow fertilizer do it?

A netizen told me that he is 36 years old this year. He used to run a factory as a boss, but now he has closed it for various reasons. Want to sell agricultural materials, not afraid of hardship and fatigue. You can do sales, but you have never been engaged in agriculture before. Under such circumstances, will the manufacturer still want it?

Training of sales staff of agricultural manufacturers

I am more direct and just give him these three suggestions according to my own ideas.

? 1. Fertilizer manufacturers need people who can do business directly (experienced).

Indeed, I also found that there are still such difficulties when I meet a person who says that his industry is not good. And many people envy me for doing agriculture. This market is very big. Now everyone wants to rely on agriculture as if making money.

My advice to this netizen is that since we have set up a factory and want to do agriculture, we should first pack dozens of acres of land to practice our hands. He said that he also looked up some information, and heard that people who contracted land now lost a lot of money, so he didn't consider this. Besides planting and breeding, I mean agricultural sales, agricultural sightseeing, ecological agriculture and agricultural construction projects. He said he wanted to do agricultural sales, but I thought about it, and it didn't seem appropriate either. The main reason was that he had no experience in fertilizer sales and knew nothing about planting, so he couldn't get started at once, and fertilizer manufacturers didn't seem to like it very much.

It is common for agricultural salesmen to be with farmers.

In fact, the current fertilizer sales are not what some people think, either dealing with dealers or negotiating to see who has a good mouth, but not all. Fertilizer manufacturers like people who have done agricultural business before, who can go to the battlefield and communicate with farmers. Once they communicate, they need to solve the practical problems of farmers. If they know nothing about planting, I'm afraid they can't do it.

Agricultural product salesmen are with farmers.

2. Marketing is * * *, and mastering the sales mechanism is a good hand (knowing marketing).

This netizen told me that he wants to be a salesman of agricultural materials for two years and do something else by himself, such as fertilizer distribution. I said that there are two choices: 1, and I revised my resume to say that I have experience in selling agricultural products; (This is not good) 2. I have experience in opening a factory and enough sales experience to do marketing planning.

I used to tell my friends that marketing is * * *, and so is agricultural sales. As long as you know marketing, the marketing of agricultural materials will also be integrated. Therefore, knowing marketing is the biggest strength of this netizen, but the problem has arisen. 36-year-old salesman, led by a group of 20-year-old boys, seems to have no face. Come on, do marketing planning. Without industry experience, it seems inappropriate.

I have always insisted that I have the ability to do well in any industry, but the choice of industry really needs an opportunity.

Do agricultural extension in rural areas

? 3, agricultural manufacturers like good business can also do business for a long time (loyalty)

This netizen asked me to introduce him to a chemical fertilizer factory for business, but I refused. The reason is that he just wants to exercise himself in the position of fertilizer sales. When he understands the hidden rules, he will do it according to his own ideas. This idea does not meet the selection criteria of agricultural manufacturers.

What agricultural manufacturers like best is people who have strong business ability and can serve the factory for a long time, even if they are trained, they feel worthwhile.

I told him that the business of agricultural manufacturers is very mobile, and they will work for your family this year, and they may not necessarily work for anyone next year, and the manufacturers are also very headache. Therefore, one of the business standards of manufacturers is a person with strong business ability and high loyalty. Even if we recruit some college students, we will choose those with high loyalty to stay and train them specially.

I thought about it, isn't it a little too direct to chat with this netizen? He has run a factory, has marketing experience and management experience, and wants to be an agricultural salesman. You still think it's inappropriate.

I think so, too. Agricultural manufacturers require salesmen to be loyal to the manufacturers, understand marketing and have experience. Netizens only know marketing and have no experience in agricultural product sales and plant protection technology. It will be difficult to integrate into the sales of chemical fertilizers, and just take being a salesman as a springboard to understand agriculture. what do you think?

Finally, we should settle down and do agricultural sales, and we should be psychologically prepared for a long-term war of resistance. Everything blindly enters agriculture, and it is estimated that it is difficult to get rich within one year. Doing agriculture is a slow job.
