Summer Internship- Shayla Crawford

Hello everyone! I thought that today I would talk a little bit about my summer internship. I interned for an Ag company called Pivot Bio, where I was their Product Sales and Commercial Operations intern for the state of Indiana. On a day to day basis, I was going to reps farms and talking to them about our product and pricing for the 2025 crop year! I know, it sounds crazy to be talking about the 2025 crop year when its June, but it was a great way to see how things were going for 2024 and to get our foot in the door for the following year. I also spent several weeks working on creating newsletters for current reps as well as setting up meetings with prospective reps. For two weeks, I was sent to Wisconsin and Illinois, which provided me with a great opportunity to meet others at the company. Overall, I felt like I was able to learn a lot about what a sales position would entail and put some of the Agronomy knowledge that I had been learning at Purdue to the test!
