Bulk buyers and payers ask for proof first and place the order after they have checked it.
A miller wants a lot of a steady grade, an importer wants a sample and a specification, a bank or landowner wants a farm plan on paper, and an FPO wants to see a pilot before it signs. Each of them checks something before it commits, and each has been let down by a promise before. The business that can put the sample, the report or the field result in their hands the same day is the one shortlisted.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

In one paragraph
Agri trade, consulting and technology businesses advise farm owners, buy and sell produce in lots, ship it abroad or build tools for agriculture, and the people who pay are bulk buyers, importers, lenders and institutions rather than the farmer at the counter. GullySales looks at the proof you can hand over, how you are found outside your own circle, and whether a first order becomes a second.
Four kinds of business share this page: farm consultants, commodity traders, agricultural exporters and AgriTech startups. They sell to buyers who decide on evidence and who are not the farmer at the village shop. They differ in what that evidence is, a farm already set up, a quality sheet, a sample and papers, or a pilot result.

4 kinds of business
Each kind of business in agri trade, consulting & technology sells a little differently.
Open the page closest to yours for how its buyers choose and what we would fix first.
Farm consulting companies
A paid opinion sold to first-time farm owners, landowners and lenders, where free phone advice is the trap and the farms already set up are the proof.
Read the page for farm consulting companiesAgricultural commodity traders
Buyers such as millers and processors want a steady grade, so a sample, a firm rate and a quality settlement without disputes are what a repeat lot rests on.
Read the page for agricultural commodity tradersAgricultural exporters
An importer shortlists on a sample, a specification and a clear reply, so documents and responsiveness count before any price is discussed.

The user is a farmer but the payer is an FPO, input company, bank or estate, so proving use in the field comes before a paid contract.

What usually goes wrong across agri trade, consulting & technology.
Whichever of these you run, you will probably recognise most of them.
“The buyer asks for proof and we put it together afresh each time”
A sample, a quality sheet, a list of farms set up or a pilot result is requested before the first order. When it is not ready in one place, the buyer waits and a better prepared name is shortlisted.
“A first order or a first engagement does not turn into a second”
A one-time hire, a first lot, a trial container or a pilot ends with the job done and no plan for what comes next. Nobody asks the buyer why they did not return.
“Outside the people who already know us, nobody finds us”
Our work reaches us through referrals, a partner's contacts or a trade fair. A bank officer, a miller, an importer or an FPO searching for a new name finds nothing clear to check.
“Our site and deck say what we are, not what the buyer needs to check”
The page lists services or products while the buyer wants situations, specifications, grades or results. The deck says one thing and the website says another.
“Nobody records who asked, what they needed and what we promised”
An enquiry, a rate, a quote or a sample sits in one person's inbox, phone or diary. When the buyer is ready to move, the thread has gone cold or sits with someone who has left.
Where to start
What to fix first in agri trade, consulting & technology.
In the order we would look at them. Your own enquiry records may change the order, and we would say so.
- Build one proof pack for each audience, with the sample or specification, the report, the farms or lots handled and the contact who can confirm them.
- Write a plain page for each buyer group that names their situation and shows what they should check before they commit.
- Keep one shared record of every enquiry, sample, quote and pilot, with the next step and the date it falls due.
- After a first order, hire, lot or pilot, call the buyer, ask what they needed next and write the answer down.
- List the places a new buyer would search for you, a search listing, a trade directory or a partner, and make sure each one says the same thing.
