We achieve this through our world-renowned genetics and technology products, which create more sustainable and profitable farms.
About the Role
This role is part of the NZ Markets group which operates as the channel to our customers and customer voice. It will suit someone who is ideally based in the Stratford or New Plymouth area.
This is a customer relationship and sales role, where you'll work closely with customers on-farm to understand their goals and challenges and provide them with data-driven solutions to add value to their farms. The role is responsible for a territory in the Stratford area, where there is huge opportunity, and you will be well supported to achieve great results.
Key focus areas include:
Maximising relationships with existing customers, and actively building relationships with new customers.
Successful implementation of LIC solutions and the achievement of sales targets in your area.
Identifying new business opportunities with existing and new customers.
Undertaking educational and promotional initiatives with farmers.
About You
Making connections and building relationships will come easily to you, and you'll genuinely enjoy customer interactions. Having a background in dairy would be advantageous, but most importantly, you'll understand and empathise with the unique challenges our farmers face and build trust and credibility with them.
You'll be able to use data and insights to make effective decisions and you'll use this information to come well-prepared to your customer visits.
You'll also demonstrate:
Strong self-motivation and ability to work autonomously and proactively manage your day.
Be results-focused with a track record of achieving great sales results.
Ability to build and maintain strong relationships, internally and externally.
Great problem-solving skills and ability to match solutions to customers.
Confident and effective communication skills, both verbally and in writing.
A tertiary qualification in this field is advantageous.
In return
In addition to a competitive salary, plus incentive bonus and company car, you'll receive extra leave days, flexible working options and discounted health, life, income and disability insurances. You'll also get all the tools to make you successful, including phone, laptop and iPad.
You'll have the support of an office-based support person, who will provide the ad-hoc support you need, with things like admin, data, campaign work, etc. The team you are joining are a great bunch, who will make you feel very welcome and well-supported.
This is a great opportunity to join an organisation driving the future of dairy in NZ.
