Longtime produce retail executive Scott Schuette is back! This week (and next week) he's delivering a deep dive on the wide-ranging and critical topic of how a director or vice president of produce creates the annual budget for the division. In this episode, Scott talks about setting budget timeline milestones; tailoring your asks and projected outcomes to the big-picture goals of the company; partnering with other departments within the organization as well as with manufacturers and suppliers; gathering the appropriate level of detail to support your budget requests; and much more. Scott had so much great insight that we're breaking the discussion into two parts. Check back next week for Part 2, and thanks so much for listening!
