Farmers and agronomists have a lot on their plate just to produce a profitable crop every year. So what happens when their buyers start requesting they also change practices to move in a more regenerative direction? Today we hear Emily, an agronomist for a large farm in Alberta, Canada, and Syngenta's Tara McCaughey, about the quest to grow a more regenerative potato.“ It's very different from what we're used to. We have somebody who comes here, sells us a product, we see the results. It's instant ROI. With a lot of these practices, it's gonna cost you extra time and people, but you don't necessarily get that right back, that harvest. This is more of a long game. So trying to justify that when you're convincing people to make a change. I think that's an additional barrier is that you might not see your yield increase year one. And that's just a different mindset shift from what we're used to in ag I think.” - Emily, Agronomist in Alberta, CanadaEmily is an agronomist for a very large farming operation in Alberta, Canada. She's been doing that for about five years and has an additional 15 years as agronomist, mostly working for a large french fry manufacturer. Emily recently traveled the world as a Nuffield Scholar studying regenerative agriculture practices in potato production systems.Tara has been with Syngenta for a number of years in various capacities, but currently she is the Head of Technology Solutions in Sustainable Ag Function. So her team ensures that technology, including chemistry, biological crop input products, as well as digital ag solution technologies are market-ready and supported once they're in the market with farmer customers.This Week on Soil Sense:Meet Emily, an agronomist in Alberta, and Tara McCaughey,  Head of Technology Solutions in Sustainable Ag at Syngenta Canada Discover what's working when it comes to implementing regenerative farming practices in potato cropping systemsConsider why building soil health is a long term investment instead of a product that can offer clear and instant return on investment (ROI)Listen to how agronomists like Emily work with other stakeholders to find prudent ways to implement changesThe  Soil Sense podcast is for those that believe building healthier soils is not just a prescription, but rather a pursuit.

William Young became CEO of Aerowave Technologies in January of 2021. While he has no regrets about his pursuit of the ETA path, his journey to the company's helm was a difficult one. His story is distinct in that he started out in a partnered, brokered search but ended up as a solo searcher, focusing on proprietary outreach in Dallas-Fort Worth and Boston. Once he closed on Aerowave, Will was met with a number of challenges, including a seller transition that ran over a year; COVID; supply chain issues; running a technical business with very little technical expertise of his own; early culture problems; and the ever-daunting task of hiring talented salespeople. In this conversation, Will also reflects on Aerowave's many tailwinds, his decision to implement a new enterprise resource planning system, the benefits of speaking directly with his customers, and how he views being CEO through the lenses of fatherhood. Though Will has some scars to show from his search process and early days at the company, listeners will learn a great deal from his accomplishments and his ultimate success in adapting the business to the life he wants to lead.

Today, I am delighted to speak with Kent Lawson, FOX's own CTO and the leader of the FOX Technology Partners Program. Kent brings 25 years of experience as a professional in the wealth management industry, with a deep focus in technology for the family office. Prior to joining FOX, Kent spent a decade as an executive at a single-family office, and in that capacity, he was an active FOX member and a strong contributor to the FOX community. He also served as a business analyst and consultant for Advent Software, as COO of a trust company, and other technology solution vendors. Kent is one of very few people in the world who have had a front-row seat throughout the evolution of the family office as an operational unit and the emergence of the ecosystem of technologies that are focused on supporting and automating family offices. He provides a brief overview of the last 10 years of how family offices, and the specialized technology solutions that serve them, have evolved. Given this historical context, he then delves into what it all means for family offices today, going over what they need to know and what key capabilities they need to develop or acquire. As we see in our daily interactions with families and family offices at FOX, pretty much every family office faces two major challenges on their digital transformation path – technology selection and technology implementation. Kent offers his practical advice for family offices and advisor firms who are looking to select and implement FO-specialized technology solutions, highlighting the common pitfalls, and offering practical tips and shortcuts to success. Keeping up with all the new and existing providers of technology solutions for the FO space is another significant challenge. Kent provides valuable suggestions for how family office professionals and leaders can stay educated on all the vendors and their platforms, on all the trends and developments in the FO technology space, and on the best practices related to digitizing the family office and the ever-broader set of family wealth management services.

Welcome to "The Dish on Health IT," a podcast brought to you by Point-of-Care Partners, a leading health IT consultancy. Each episode features a rotating panel of senior consultants and guests who discuss trends and innovations in health IT, providing insights and recommendations to help organizations leverage advances to solve their business problems.In this episode, POCP hosts Tony Schueth, CEO of Point-of-Care Partners, and Pooja Babbrah, PBM and Pharmacy Lead, are joined by Shivani Patel, Executive Vice President of Patient Access Operations and Technology Solutions at Asembia. Together, they delve into key topics including specialty prescribing, pharmacy interoperability, TEFCA, and consent management, highlighting how technology, policy, and process improvements can drive positive changes in healthcare.The conversation kicks off with an introduction to specialty prescribing. Shivani explains that specialty prescribing involves treatments that are typically more complex than standard prescriptions due to factors like high cost, special storage requirements, and adherence challenges. She points out the logistical gaps and barriers in the specialty space, such as prior authorizations and communication challenges between stakeholders. Pooja adds that the lack of a standardized definition for specialty medications further complicates the process, leading to delays and confusion.Moving on to pharmacy interoperability, Pooja describes it as the ability to share clinical data between pharmacists, providers, and other stakeholders. She emphasizes the importance of providing pharmacists with the right information they need, instead of overwhelming them with excessive data. For instance, pharmacists should not have to sift through 500 pages of patient records to find relevant information. Instead, they need targeted, pertinent data to improve patient care and streamline processes.The discussion then shifts to TEFCA (Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement), which aims to fill information gaps in the healthcare system by setting standards for data exchange. Shivani and Pooja discuss how TEFCA can enhance transparency and interoperability, helping pharmacists and other stakeholders' access and share necessary patient information more efficiently. Shivani notes the potential of TEFCA to establish a universal patient identifier, which could significantly improve data sharing and patient care coordination.Consent management is another crucial topic covered in this episode. Effective consent management is essential for pharmacy interoperability and ensuring patients' privacy and data security. Shivani and Pooja explore how consent management can be improved to make the sharing of patient information more seamless and secure. They emphasize the need for standardized consent processes that allow patients to control their data while ensuring that relevant information is accessible to healthcare providers.Throughout the episode, the panel highlights the role of technology in improving the prescription journey. Shivani discusses how Asembia uses technology to support the industry by connecting stakeholders and providing tools to manage patient care better. This includes everything from prior authorizations to benefit checks and copay cards. Pooja underscores the importance of industry collaboration and transparency to create standardized solutions that benefit all stakeholders.Towards the end of the episode, Shivani shares insights about the Asembia Summit, an annual event that gathers industry stakeholders to discuss trends and innovations in specialty pharmacy. She invites listeners to attend AXS25, the next Asembia Summit, which will take place from April 27th to May 1st, 2025, at the Wynn Las Vegas. The event offers a premier forum for learning, networking, and exploring the latest advancements in the industry.Tune in to this episode to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of specialty prescribing, the importance of pharmacy interoperability, and how collaborative efforts in technology, policy, and process can enhance healthcare delivery.

In this replay episode of Tech Sales Insights, Randy Seidl is joined by Joey Gilkey, CEO of Apex Revenue, to discuss the evolution of outbound cold calling strategies in the modern sales landscape. From Joey's journey in sales to the challenges and solutions in improving cold calling pickup rates, this episode offers invaluable insights for sales professionals navigating today's competitive market.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe landscape of outbound sales is evolving rapidly, with traditional strategies becoming less effective over time.Companies must shift from a meeting-centric approach to a market analysis-centric approach, focusing on segmenting the market and curating targeted lists for more effective outreach.Turning sales development reps into market development reps and empowering account executives to self-source from curated lists can significantly improve pipeline generation and conversion rates.Sellers should prioritize selling to prospects the way they want to buy, adopting a consultative and tailored approach to address pain points and provide value.Highly targeted lists are essential for successful outbound efforts, as data saturation increases and traditional list-building methods become less reliable.QUOTES"Sell to people the way they want to buy, not the way we want to sell.""The list is the strategy. Highly targeted lists impact the top of the funnel, which then impacts the bottom of the funnel.""Turning sales development reps into market development reps is key.
