Agricultural Sales

Through the Agricultural Sales event, students are able to prepare for career opportunities by participating in a wide range of sales activities that develop their interpersonal skills. Participants collaborate as a team to develop a pre-call plan for a variety of different customer types. Individual team members then utilize their skills in information gathering to sell a pre-selected product to one of the customer types. Members also have their knowledge of sales principles tested in the written exam. 

Sales product information for the 2025 Sales CDE:

Hello owls! 

I hope everyone had a joyful holiday weekend! It's that time of year to announce the 2025 Agricultural Sales product!

This year students will be selling Planta Greenhouses. This is a North American company that ships anywhere in the US and Canada. Unfortunately, there are no physical dealers here in Washington for students to meet with. However, Planta has sold many greenhouses across the state. I'm working with them to connect students with prior customers to offer opportunities to physically see the products. 

In the meantime, teams can begin familiarizing themselves with the product list. The Planta website is awesome and has a ton of information. I would also suggest students research the role greenhouses play in Washington agriculture and basic greenhouse function and maintenance.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I can't wait to work with you all again this spring. 

Best,

Maya
