He was delighted and it worked out.Mitch Giese @mitch_giese  (John Deere Salesman, Sheldon, IA and farm kid.)Ones who treat me as their peer.  They share information willingly because they know that the more I know about them and their business, the better I can understand their goals and make recommendations accordingly.  Include me in their Advisory Team - They trust me to provide advice that is in their best interest.  Understand my sales position is my JOB - They allow me to make a reasonable profit because they know that sustainability of the industries supporting them is vital to their own survival and pays them back in the long run.  Aren’t confrontational - They don’t make business transactions needlessly confrontational.  They sometimes buy elsewhere if I can’t offer what they need or someone else’s offering is more attractive, but they treat me respectfully when they do. Todd Sampson @td_sampson (Insurance agent with Midwest Insurance, Nevada IA) There needs to be an openness with your sales person - so they know what is important to you.  Being able to articulate the goals of the farm today and the long-term plan of the farm’s future helps the professional have a better idea of what they can do to help make that a reality.Are open to suggestions and implement them: - Most companies will have a risk management meeting with the clients on occasion to make sure the processes and procedures to reduce risk are in place.  Contracts, employee handbooks, safety checklists, etc. are all ways that farmers and ag business companies can reduce their exposure to claims.Kacee Bohle @ConservisKacee (Regional manager for Conservis, traveler & Ag Lover)Be open minded to new things in agriculture, like technology. There are so many farmers who were successful in their prime years ago that are still thinking "this is what I have done and it worked and so I am going to keep doing that", which is not keeping them competitive.  Have a plan to change:  we know that it takes time to implement change, and those clients that understand there needs to be a plan, goals, and a timeline of implementation as well as reflection are usually more successful than those that assume things will just magically work over night.Bodie @Bkitch1Bodie (Regional Business Director for Next Level Ag, central Indiana)1.) Personable and beyond business – are just as interested in learning about me and my goals as I am about them and their goals2.) Engaged and challenging- they aren’t argumentative they are just eager to learn, but also don’t let me slide by with a poor or lazy answer.3.) Genuine in what they do and say. – being straight forward and truthfulConrad @SmithAgConrad (West Central Illinois, Sales Manager Smith Agri-Service)You can’t communicate with me enough.  If that means you need call me 3 times a day or text me 10 times a day to keep me abreast of what’s happening then do it.  My ability to plan & make efficient decision is predicated on how well the producer communicates with me. Many failures occur simply because of a breakdown in communication”.Transparency which goes hand in hand with communication right? Their expectations based on the service level they pay for should match what I can deliver. Things work well when I’ve earned a producers trust to the point where we can sit down and take an honest look at yield history, market prices, expenses & make a decisions that fit the farm.  Tom Hadley @TomHadley55  (Territory Manager for Gerinhoff heads – Southeast IA)Treat me like a family member - My favorite traits of a farmer that I have a great relationship are the ones that start off as “cold” and “hard to get to know”. After a while it turns into you are almost a family member after you break down the walls and show that you want them to be profitable with you not you making profit from them. I like to be face to face - and don’t like texting. I want to hear your voice – the tone or confidence/worry. What can I do to make your day better?They don’t dismiss early – The worst traits of most Farmers is they always have a reason why it’s not time to buy in the first minute of a conversation without the question even being brought up.  Our time is just as valuable as yours.Andrew Klein @SmartBarnOhio (Owner of Smart Barn – wireless sensors Dayton OH)First off, be nice and treat others like you want them to treat you. You’d be surprised (or maybe not surprised?) how often I’ve been mistreated on the first phone call. When I’m working with a potential customer, I always treat them kindly. But man does it get tougher if they treat me like garbage. And honestly, I avoid new business from people who are assholes, go find another asshole who wants to help you, I've got plenty of work and I'd rather work with people who like me. Second, don’t treat me like a highway robber. My prices are my prices, and while there’s some room for negotiation, I’m giving you the best deal I can afford already. If you genuinely can’t afford my product, or don’t see the value then please let’s do each other a solid and just walk away.Finally, communication! Tell me your concerns, thoughts, gripes, things you like, in a calm, adult way, and I guarantee we can figure out a win-win. I can help a lot better if we’re communicating. Honestly I always go above and beyond and think most sales people do, but if you follow the golden rule its way more likely your salesperson is going to go way above and beyond!ME (Tanner)-Aren’t afraid to tell me “NO”. – saves me time, effort, and worry if you just fill me in.  It won’t hurt my feelings, I am a professional that gets told “No” a lot.Schedule the meetings when they can. -I have more clients than just one, so my favorite ones call to schedule an apt, or if its last minute at least call to let me know they are comingMeals and Beverages not necessary, but it is a perk.  For the same reasons like to bring food the field and treat my clients to lunch.  It leaves a lasting impression. (in laws cooked lunch for mechanic)YOU (David)-Leave Online reviews – You help make me look good and ill work extra hard to make you look goodTrust me. -I will work hard and in your best interest for you.  It does me no good to hold information that would benefit you until a later time.  When I learn something I will tell you.ChallengeFigure it out, are you doing these or do you have areas to improve?  The next time you “want something” from your sales person, try using one or multiple of the suggestions.  Then let us know how it turned out! @Farm4profitllcConference UpdateIt’s on for December 4, 2020!

In today’s Greatest of All Time Series, we’re joined by none other than Barbara Bruno. She is someone who’s been in the staffing and recruiting industry for quite awhile and is an expert in her field. We invited Barbara over to answer some of the biggest questions on the back of every recruiter’s minds Barbara Bruno, The Staffing and Recruiting Expert What Are The Three Attributes of a Good Recruiter Integrity Integrity lets you build strong relationships with both candidates and clients. You can thrive in the industry without it, but your career is going to be short lived because of it. Listening Well The best recruiters are the best listeners and they don’t talk as much as they listen. The best recruiters key in to what’s important to people. This lets them use that knowledge to their advantage and be able to respond better to the client or candidate’s specific needs. Able to Think on Their Feet Being a good recruiter means being adaptable to the situation. Since there are two people on either side, you can expect that situations and priorities change constantly. If you can’t think on the fly then you’re dead in the water as things blow up constantly. What Would be The Three Pieces of Advice You Would Give to New Recruiters or Inexperienced? Know your Job They think they're supposed to interview candidates or write orders or give contracts when in essence our job very simply is to get candidates in front of hiring authorities and so if I'm talking to a new person what I tell them is your job is to book a send out Focus on Send Outs To have that first interview you've got to have a dividable order. If they do nothing more than constantly increase the number of send outs they book every month, they will elevate their production because everybody has to send out to fill or send out to placement ratio. You know once they're doing this three to six months they know that ratio and if they say the ratio is 5 to 1 if they send five more people up they make another placement and so you've got to know your numbers but I would tell them to focus on send outs. Plan If you think that you can’t plan every phone call, then think again. Barbara’s advice is to write down the six priorities you have closest to the money for the following day and ten calls. And then the following month you know six things closer to the money in 20 calls until you get to the point where you're handling the six priorities you have every day and you commit to doing those things What advice would you give that 20-year recruiter that's sitting around saying I know everything Barbara suggests that you shouldn’t forget that you’re the resource and the tools you get are just simply tools to help them. The greatest shift is happening where more than 50% of their clients are going to be millenials and most of the tenured recruiters blame the millennials for everything. They have to shift what they’re doing in their business or they’re going to end up dead in the water. What Does Someone have to Do Right Now to Recession Proof That Business? They can't have one client represent more than ten percent of their income. Have a broader client base. They can't have one client represent more than ten percent of their income, which is the biggest mistake. 2008 to 2010 many companies call Barbara going “oh my God I'm losing my business” and in almost every instance they made 75% of the revenue from less than five clients when these five clients went hiring they were dead in the water. Make your clients your friends and don’t just be a vendor You know so many times they view us as one of many and so I think you go from vendor to trusted advisor to consultant and then you've got to make your client your friend. You've got to become part of their life because if a recession hits and they can only use one resource and you've become the best listener in their life. Have more than one contact in a company The clients of the staffing and recruiting are changing more than ever and so often you've got one contact they leave and now you lose the client. So its great if you have more than just one contact in your client’s company. How Can You Get In Touch With Barbara Bruno Yourself The best way for anyone to contact Barbara herself is to call her at her number at 2196639609 or you can go to her website at https://goodasgoldtraining.com/.

Brad Sullivan Proper 24, Year B October 18, 2015 Saint Mark's Episcopal Church, Bay City, TX Job 38:1-7, (34-41) Mark 10:35-45 “Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind: ‘Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?’” Prior to this, Elihu, one of Job’s friends had been defending God to Job. Job and his friends all had a pretty basic understanding of the universe and the causal relationship between human sin and human tragedy. If something really bad happened to you, it was because you had done something really bad. Job questioned how it could be so, since he hadn’t sinned in some terrible way. Elihu, Job’s friend, on the other hand, defended God to the hilt, telling Job how bad he was and how righteous God was. There was no compassion with Elihu, or very little. There was no question in Elihu’s mind that he was right. He used scripture to pack his arguments, and he gave platitudes and simple answers to Job’s misery. I think when it comes down to it, Elihu basically made himself feel better – the world was still flat, God still never allowed anything bad to happen to anyone good (and therefore Elihu was safe), and everything was in its place. “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?” God responds. You don’t understand all that is, Elihu, nor for that matter, do you, Job. The world is far more complex and mysterious that you allow, and simple answers to complex questions don’t actually help. Thanks for trying to defend my sovereignty, God was saying, but my sovereignty really doesn’t need your defense. Try instead for some compassion towards your friend. Remember, Elihu, it’s love God and love each other, not defend God’s sovereignty at the expense of each other. Imagine if Elihu had simply continued to sit with his friend Job, as he had when he first arrived, grieving with him, and when Job began to question, he had said, “I don’t know why all this terrible stuff happened to you, my friend. You were a really good guy, and this totally sucks. I don’t think you deserved this.” What if when Job had begun questioning God, Elihu had not been afraid to allow Job to question God? What if he had simply said, “Yeah, I get why you would questions God’s fairness right now; it doesn’t seem right what happened to you. I love you Job, and I’m with you.” What if Elihu had been willing to question and wonder with Job? They may not have become so entrenched in being right that they ended up “darkening counsel by words without knowledge.” We’re going through a difficult time right now in the Episcopal Church with folks divided over a difficult issue, some folks rejoicing that marriage has been extended to include homosexual couples, and some folks deeply disturbed by the same. At the heart of this issue on both sides, is people, and people on both sides of this issue are hurting. There are people within our congregation on both sides of this issue, people we love, who are hurting. I think one desire many of us share is for everything to be settled and done. Let’s just quiet messing with it, let’s just quit talking about it. There’s a desire just to know with absolute certainty all of the correct answers, or at least to be able to put the issues and the others out of our minds. One key lesson I find in the book of Job, however, is that the Kingdom of God desires compassion more than it desires correct answers. Folks on both sides of this issue often don’t understand what folks on the other side of the issue are going through. Sometimes even believing on one side of the issue is hurtful to folks on the other side, and yet we often don’t see that or understand that. When people we love are going through difficult times that we don’t understand, Job teaches me that a good response might be, “I don’t quite understand what you’re going through, but I do understand that it is extremely difficult and painful for you.” I think that might have been a response more pleasing to God that Elihu could have given to Job, compassion more than correct answers, God’s grace more than theologically righteous grandstanding. We’re reminded in Hebrews, after all, that Jesus is not unable to sympathize with us in our weakness, but knows exactly how hard it is to be human in this world. Jesus gives us grace precisely because it is so darn hard to be human in this world. Like James and John, we often want power and glory to make our way a bit easier in the world. With enough power and glory, you can pretty well have things go the way you want them to and get people to do what you want them to do, but Jesus wasn’t offering power and glory. Jesus was offering grace. When James and John ask in a new way for power within Jesus’ kingdom, he tells them that that place of authority and power is not his to give. That’s a pretty kind answer at that point, “sorry guys, it’s just not mine to give.” I have a feeling if it had been me, I’d have been pretty frustrated with James and John at this point. “Good Lord, guys” I might have said to James and John, “I’ve been teaching you for over a chapter of Mark’s gospel now that the kingdom of God is not about seeking power and glory, and here you two are at it again.” That’s a bit more like what the other disciples were thinking anyway. They were angry at James and John, saying, “dude, I can’t believe you tried to pull that over on us, getting power over us,” secretly thinking, “whew, glad you built up the gumption to ask before I did.” The disciples were angry, and Jesus gave them grace. Jesus simply offered another moment of teaching for his beloved disciples. “Guys, the gentiles seek power and glory over each other, and they become tyrants over each other. That’s not who we are. Among us, greatness comes from serving each other. Among us, greatness comes from risking losing everything for the sake of the beloved. I’m not going to squander my life,” Jesus taught, “by seeking power and glory for myself. I’m going to live my life and give my life for the sake of all humanity, giving up myself for the sake of my beloved. I know how hard it is for you all, my beloved disciple, my beloved humanity,” Jesus was saying, “so I will give my life so that you may receive grace.” We are called by Jesus to give each other that same grace. “Feed my sheep,” Jesus told Peter. Peter was a bit hurt during this conversation, remember? “Lord, you know all things,” Peter said, “You know I love you,” as Jesus asked him three times, “Do you love me.” “Then feed by sheep Jesus told Peter.” In this short exchange, Jesus showed great compassion for Peter and gave him great grace. Jesus knew Peter’s heart was breaking over denying Jesus three times, so Jesus gave Peter three opportunities to profess his love for Jesus. Rather than just keep it quiet and let Peter assume, “I guess everything’s ok; we’re having a fish fry; I guess everything is ok.” Rather than let Peter assume all was forgiven, Jesus gave Peter the grace to know that all was well. Then, “feed my sheep,” Jesus told Peter. You don’t know everything. You get things wrong about as much as you get them right, and I want you to feed my sheep. You don’t need to be powerful and mighty, Jesus was saying in today’s Gospel. I don’t even want you to be powerful and mighty, Jesus said. I just want you to feed my sheep. I want you to serve others. I want you to give compassion to others. I want you to offer grace to others. When we feel threatened by others, or when we are disturbed by disagreements over deeply held and difficult issues within our church, we tend to want to be able to exercise power and authority over the other, making sure things go our way. Looking at God’s response to Elihu and Job, looking at Jesus’ response to James and John, I think Jesus has taught us to feed each other with compassion, rather than with correctness. I think Jesus has taught us to offer grace to each other when we hurt each other, rather than ignoring the problem and hoping it will eventually just fade away. Grace and compassion are what Jesus gives to us, and then he tells us to feed each other with the same. Amen.
