Rob Laskowski

Sales Representative @Agracity Crop & Nutrition Ltd

Saskatoon, SK, CA

Worked with farmers across Western Canada to grow a book of business by promoting and selling AgraCity’s herbicide, fungicide, insecticide and fertilizer products. A book of business of 200 customers grew from $1.8 million to $3 million in my first year and to $4.9 million in my second and third year- Field planning included crop rotation and short to long term weed management to develop the best fit for what the farm needed. Each farm was tracked through Microsoft Dynamics CRM, including notes from all conversations, sales and farm information. After sales service included making sure all products were received on farm, answered any mixing and use rates. Warranty claims process includedgathering spray records to ensure application was done correctly. If the application window was still open, replacement products were sent out, or a credit was added to the account- Transitioned to Fertilizer Specialist in fall of 2024. Responsibilities included training and mentoring a sales staff of 20 on how to position the MicroPhos suite of specialty fertilizers. This included making joint sales calls until the sales rep was comfortable with interviewing customers to find out what current fertilizer program they use on farm, and then properly placing MicroPhos into their fertility plan. Salesrep’s budgets were tracked weekly, and additional training was given if challenges arose- Developed a custom fertilizer calculator on Excel that allows up to 8 different types of fertilizers within a blend. Data output included salt index, total tonnes, percent of each nutrient for blend tower, price per tonne and per acre. Price included monthly storage fee, blending fee, urease inhibitor, freight to farm and dead freight.
