Knowing, however, that certainty is almost always an illusion for manufacturers and no long-term plan survives contact with the market, leaders need to focus on the things that they can control, a panel of experts said on May 7 during a webinar hosted by IndustryWeek, Foundry Management & Technology, New Equipment Digest, Plant Services, Smart Industry, American Machinist and Material Handling & Logistics.

In 2021, Spindustry conducted an attitudinal study of over 750 farmers citing their attitudes and preferences as they work towards making informed purchases. While you can likely guess the Internet plays a role in their decision making, how different groups use the Internet and when they choose not to may surprise you.

If you are a dealer, distributor or manufacturer looking to make decisions about your digital and marketing strategy this real evidence will help you make informed decisions or back up decisions you have made.

In 2024, Spindustry has refreshed this research to see how the results have changed since 2021, how they have changed as COVID and supply chain issues subside and more!

Farmer’s Buying Journey attendees will learn:

• What’s the first step farmers take in researching a part or piece of equipment?
• What percentage of farmers go to YouTube before they buy?
• How important is social media in the buying process?
• Should I still be printing catalogs?
• How loyal are these customers once they buy that first time?
• How have these attitudes changed since 2021 and what 2024 and beyond looks like for your digital strategy?

  What’s ahead for your business this year? Next year? And further down the road? The most frequent questions we’ve received from manufacturers this year are: 

1.  How should I capitalize on the good times now, and

2.  How can I prepare for the next inevitable downturn? 

While we’re not meteorologists in the business of predictions either, we can help you build a solid business strategy to prepare for both good and bad times.

Pinion (formerly KCoe Isom) business strategists will guide you through the process and share tips to position your business to pivot if needed.

Attorney Mary Fong with Advisors Law Group will lead the session. She advises employers on employment laws, compensation, hiring and separations, company policies, discrimination, retaliation, and harassment matters.

The Association introduced this series to move past the foundational work of operational excellence and dive more deeply into issues that matter most to our members. Each session will build on the one before it. See the webinar at . You will need to call the Association at (314) 878-2304 to get a passcode to watch.

This first session, among other things, distinguished operational excellence from excellence in operations. Operations refers to processes, Wilson said, and operational deals with systems.

He said operational excellence begins with a state of readiness, which companies achieve by, in part, cultivating a culture committed to leadership, stewardship, mentorship, and followership

Meet Wilson in person when he leads a session at the 2021 Marketing & Distribution Convention in Oklahoma City in November.
