Data leaves only a faint and partial idea, while charts leave a distinct impression, which will remain for a considerable time, and the idea will be simple and complete, at once including the duration and the amount.
WILLIAM PLAYFAIR (1759-1823)
Farmers like visual displays of quantitative information.
Leave a distinct impression of an idea that is simple and complete.
Farmers make judgments based on personal experience.
Believing what you have to say about the future begins when you can match the past.
Farmers like having accurate data and a way in.
Your customers expect what comes out is only as good as what goes in.
Farmers don’t like it when… you tell them how to farm.
Don’t tell your customers how to run their business.
Farmers don’t like it when… you expect them to discover features.
Let them know what it is, how to use it, and what the benefit to them will be.
How can I claim to know farmers?
