Developing Future Leaders in Seeds
The Syngenta Seeds Developmental Sales Representative (DSR) program is a curriculum-based, integrated learning program to prepare you to be a territory sales leader in the agriculture industry. This is a six-month program that helps you develop an understanding of customer needs. As a DSR program participant, you will engage growers and resellers in solution-based consultative sales; develop product and technical expertise; refine communication, presentation and leadership skills; and build a thorough understanding of company structure, roles, functions and core values. District managers will coach and mentor to help you achieve developmental goals for independent account experience. The goal of this program is to prepare you to interview for a full-time placement with our expanding Seeds business at the end of six months.
