Key responsibilities:
Equipment sales across the territory - sales plans, call plans, budgets and forecasts, and achievement of sales and margin targets
Managing key customer, dealer and supplier relationships and identifying new business opportunities
Machinery demoes, delivery and handovers
Supporting service and irrigation areas of the business with lead generation
