What’s been your biggest challenge selling agricultural machinery, over the last 18 months?
Apart from being held accountable for things you can’t influence. Like last year when sales were ‘letting them down’, not inflation, uncertainty or budget freezes.
You want somewhere you can deliver, and be recognised for it, building on good foundations – this role has come about through promotion, and a job well done.
You focus on the things you can control:
* Developing long-term relationships with your dealers to help them sell more. Budget for next year is around £5m
* Account management, training, coaching and enablement
* Listening to the market to help the employer make informed decisions
Get these right and sales are the consequence. More than that, you want everyone to win, as they act on your feedback and guidance.
You’ll benefit from taking over an established, successful region, with support from across the business. While you’ll work remotely, they’ll want you to feel part of the team.
Where they treat you like an adult, and key to their strategy.
About you
* Direct experience in channel sales or sales enablement through dealer networks. Or transferrable experience such as importer / distribution sales management
* Agricultural, industrial, automotive, or similar knowledge across machinery / equipment
* Based from home, you’ll have good access to the West of the UK. You might live in Derby, Birmingham, or Bristol
* Able to travel to clients 2-3 days a week for account reviews, to deliver training, or perhaps coaching dealer sales teams. You manage your diary.
We can consider candidates at different stages in their career, as long as you can meet these points.
