STORYTELLING TOOL REFLECTION 

 Challenge and Selection 

 The tool I have selected is the story telling tool . The tool can be defined simply as 

 understanding the emotions of the customer . Storytelling is a vital tool at my workplace that I 

 have learned to use with this course 's help . I work with an agricultural firm , where we engage 

 with farmers to collect data and sell various products , primarily in the rural areas where 

 farmers have little to no extension services . The kinds of products we sell are like improved 

 varieties and subsidized fertilizer , as the ministry of agriculture also licenses us to reach 

 farmers in rural areas . 

 The challenge that I faced is that at the beginning of the product sales , there was 

 always a lag that I could not understand nor explain to my supervisor as farmers did not want 

 to buy the product even though it would improve yields significantly . After developing 

 various strategies associated with proven strategies , such as surveys and consumer journey 

 mapping to understand the problem . the sales also did not pick , and hence I used this tool to 

 resolve the challenge in the field . 

 Application 

 I made time and met withs seme farmers in private and offered them the product . 

 They were skeptical about the product , and they began to tell me the issue that had been 

 facing them with previous products and the new ones . Most rural farmers are the product 

 skeptical about new products , and one farmer mentioned that it is because they have used the 

 same products for a long and it had become impossible to trust a new product even with its 

 proposed benefits . 

 Using storytelling , I was able to gather more farmers and discuss the challenges they 

 faced , the limitations of the current strategies that my company was employing , and how - to 

 re - design and re - market the products to meet the needs of the rural farmers . 

 Insight and Approach 

 The amount of information received from the farmers was simply eye - opening . I 

 realized why our products were not selling just by engaging with the farmers using the 

 storytelling tool . After creating a presentation of the findings to my supervisor , we organized 

 the whole sales team and came up with strategies such as farmer education , not just selling 

 the products without engaging with farmers . 

 Another strategy was to organize seminars to show the rural farmers what modern 

 agriculture looks like , and they were thrilled to be included . Sales skyrocketed , and farmers ' 

 engagement has remained a hallmark of the sales work that I do . In applying this tool in the 

 field again , I will be keener to develop a story that meets the needs of the customers even 

 though I am not very comfortable with it . I will try to make the tool work for me rather than 

 waiting until a challenge occurs , and then I am forced to rethink my approaches .
