Kara Schut (Agribusiness)

Customer focus is the key to our success and should be one of the largest focus areas we have. We need to continue to look for new and innovative ways to work with and for our customers and provide them with products and services that not only help them be successful but also that they can’t find from others in the industry. Regardless of the positions I have held it has always been key to seek what their greatest needs are and to ensure that we are doing everything we can do to help guide and walk along with them as well as make sure they understand how committed we are to working together.

In my current team where we have the opportunity to look at new products that hold the potential to be the next key in allowing our customers to economically and effectively produce the best crops but also providing our sales staff with tools and knowledge. The customer focus is extremely impactful to our team and will help us gain the current wants, needs and understand the challenges facing our customers. We actually have our fellow employees as our customers as well as our WECO producers both of which have the challenges each season and we can be a better support if we focus on what the needs of each group are and continue to enhance the rate on which information is shared and new products are developed. All of these things are crucial for our team and will make us that much more advanced as compared to our competitors.
