Your plan

Your buyer: ag-facing businesses that are good at what they do but aren't producers' first call yet.

Your profile says one thing, "first call, not fourth", and the free plan ("FASTTRACK") is how people raise their hand.

The workshop is the next step: 90 minutes on how one ag business found $5M+ a year in new pipeline from a 1% fix. Invite your list with the story that fits them.

The one-shot DM is for people who engage with your posts or connect. The invites below are for your list.

What the banner is selling

Your plan, built from what you've already said

TO BUILD: this plan doesn't exist yet. The cover is a draft. Write the plan (6 to 8 pages) before the banner goes up. Everything in it below is already in your posts and on your site.

First Call, Not Fourth. The Supplier-of-Choice Plan. cover

First Call, Not Fourth. The Supplier-of-Choice Plan.

For ag-facing businesses that are good at what they do but aren't the first call yet. Inside: the five steps from your December post (audit exactly where you are, get clear on your commercial direction, build the plan that bridges the gap, find the weakest commercial link, make your value proposition obvious to producers), why there's no such thing as a “typical” producer, trust before the buying decision, and the 1% case.

5 steps1 real case: $5M+ a year in pipeline“Serve the grower better and the sales will follow”
After they DM “FASTTRACK”

The one-shot DM

Send this to anyone who likes or comments on one of your posts, or anyone you've just connected with. Swap the highlighted bits for each person.

Your message

Hey [FIRST NAME] - I'm just about to head out to the paddock and thought I'd send this through to you quickly before I forget.

I saw you [liked / commented on] my post about [TOPIC] (or: thanks for connecting!), so I wanted to properly introduce myself.

I'm Bec. I'm a third-generation producer, still in the seat, and I run Lindert & Co. We help ag-facing businesses that are good at what they do become the first call for producers, not the fourth.

I took a look at your profile and your website, and you reminded me of [CLIENT: a business I work with, unnamed].

They thought they had a leads problem. They didn't. [RESULT: e.g. we found a 1% shift in their sales process that unlocked more than $5 million a year in extra pipeline].

The reason it works so well is because producers don't pick the cheapest option or the flashiest pitch. They choose the business they trust. So we build that trust before the buying decision, not during it, and make it easy for the producer to say yes.

It's taken me more than two decades across the paddock, the supply chain and the boardroom, plus building Australian Super Cotton from a farm product into a premium brand, to really dial this in.

And right now, we've got an offer where [THE OFFER].

As you can imagine, the "more ads, more reps, more volume" crowd isn't a big fan of us haha. But I don't mind, the more good operators producers actually trust, the better.

Anyway, I really gotta go, [the girls have ACTIVITY / the ewes won't check themselves].

I'd be happy to walk you through how it works? I've got [TIME 1] or [TIME 2] free tomorrow?

If not, no biggie at all. Happy to just send you my Supplier-of-Choice Plan instead.

Nice to meet you!

Cheers,
Bec

What goes in each gap

  • [TOPIC]: the post they reacted to. For a new connection, use “thanks for connecting!”.
  • [CLIENT] + [RESULT]: your site says the $5M engagement is confidential, so keep the business unnamed, for example “an established input business in [REGION]”. Use a different client if one fits this person better.
  • [THE OFFER]: whatever Lindert & Co is running now. Every engagement starts with a cooling-off period, which works as the offer line if nothing else is on.
  • [ACTIVITY] and the times: whatever is actually on, and two real slots tomorrow.

Invite them to a workshop

For your target list. The case-study line is the hook, the invite is one sentence plus the ask, and the link only goes out in message 3 or after they say yes. [Square brackets] are yours to fill in. {Curly brackets} fill in automatically.

The workshop

First Call, Not Fourth

For ag-facing businesses that are good at what they do but aren't the first call yet. 90 minutes on how producers actually choose who they buy from.

  1. Where you really sit in the producer's mind
  2. Finding the weakest commercial link: the 1% leak
  3. Making your value obvious before the buying decision, not during it

Format: 90 minutes on Zoom, because your people are spread across the country. Or in person at [PLACE] if you run it at a field day or conference. [SEATS] seats (12 works). {Day + date} and [LINK] to set.

Why this workshop: Built on your one hard result: the ag business where a 1% shift in the sales process unlocked more than $5 million a year in extra pipeline (your site). The client stays unnamed, as your site says.

Which message when: Businesses already selling to producers (input suppliers, service providers, lenders, brokers) get Variant A. Brands, ag-tech and businesses new to Aussie ag get Variant B, your Australian Super Cotton story.

If you've chatted with them before, open with: "Hey {First name}, I remember we were chatting about [X] at [WHERE]." Then carry on from "I'm hosting…".

1. The invite

One sentence plus the ask. Pick the variant that fits the business.

Variant A: input suppliers, service providers, lenders and brokers

Hey {First name}, I know this is a bit random.

I'm hosting a small online workshop for businesses that sell to Aussie producers on {Day + date}, walking through how one ag business found more than $5 million a year in new pipeline from a 1% fix in its sales process.

Would you like to come?

Variant B: brands, ag-tech and businesses new to Aussie ag

Hey {First name}, I know this is a bit random.

I'm hosting a small online workshop for businesses trying to win over Aussie producers on {Day + date}, walking through how I took Australian Super Cotton from our family farm at St George to a premium brand supplying fashion houses in Melbourne, Sydney and London.

Would you like to come?

Personalise it

  • {Company}: add it to the "who" part. "…for businesses like {Company} that sell to Aussie producers…" → "…for businesses like Paddock Finance Co that sell to Aussie producers…"
  • Their role: name it when it fits. "…for GMs of ag businesses…" or "…for sales leads at input businesses…"
  • A past chat or shared connection: open with "Hey {First name}, I remember we were chatting about [X] at [WHERE]." → "Hey Sarah, I remember we were chatting about grower loyalty at the Cotton Conference."
  • Their recent post: open with one clause about it. "Hey {First name}, saw your post about [TOPIC]." → "Hey Tom, saw your post about the new cattle scales trial."

Example (filled in)

Example only, to a made-up prospect: Sarah, GM of a regional rural lender, met at the Cotton Conference. Variant A, with a made-up date.

Hey Sarah, I remember we were chatting about grower loyalty at the Cotton Conference.

I'm hosting a small online workshop for businesses that sell to Aussie producers on Thursday 23 October, walking through how one ag business found more than $5 million a year in new pipeline from a 1% fix in its sales process.

2. Follow-up (2 days later)

The message

Hey {First name}, I was chatting to [NAME/ROLE, e.g. the GM of an input business] who's stuck on [PROBLEM], and it reminded me to reach back out.

Keen to come?

Problems to pick from (all your words)

  • being the fourth call, not the first
  • more ads, more reps, more volume, and orders still flat
  • one bad rep visit, a hint of "concrete cowboy", and back at square one

3. Hail Mary (3 days after that)

The message

Hey {First name}, I swear this is my last message haha.

It'll be a room of [SEATS] people who sell to producers on {Day + date}, and we'll go deep on finding the weakest commercial link in your business.

If you'd like a seat, you can book here: [LINK]

Once I see you've booked, I'll give you a quick call to hear what you'd most like to get out of it and run you through who else is in the room.

And if you're flat out, just let me know and I'll reach out for the next one.

When they say yes

The reply

Awesome, we'd love to have you there! Here's the link: [LINK]

Do you have 5 minutes at [TIME] or [TIME] today? I'd love to run you through who else is coming.

By email

Same three steps. Swap in the Variant B line for brands and newcomers.

Before it goes live

Three quick checks

  • Two hats, one mouth. Your headline now reads “Trusted by Producers | CEO, Aussie Helpers”. Options 1, 2, 4 and 5 lead with Lindert & Co instead; option 3 keeps both. Pick the one you're comfortable with next to a DM call to action.
  • Write the plan first. Six to eight pages is enough. Don't put the banner up until you can send it the same day someone DMs “FASTTRACK”.
  • Move Lindert & Co up in Experience. It's fourth right now, under Aussie Helpers, the AgForce committee and Linview Ag. Put it second so people who click through see the business the banner is selling.
