Territory Sales Manager

The Opportunity
Nevada Group is a well-established New Zealand business specialising in dairy effluent equipment and systems.

They are looking for an experienced salesperson to take ownership of the South Island territory and build new business with dairy farmers and other rural customers.

This is not an account management role built around maintaining an existing customer list. You will be expected to get out into the market, find opportunities, build relationships and turn good conversations into profitable business.

You will have plenty of autonomy to run your territory, backed by an established brand, strong products, technical expertise and a team that can support you when you need it.

The Role You will be responsible for developing and growing Nevada's presence across the South Island. That will include:

• Building your own pipeline of new business
• Getting in front of farmers and other decision-makers
• Understanding the customer's operation before recommending a solution
• Developing relationships over what can be a considered sales cycle
• Managing opportunities from first conversation through to sale
• Planning and prioritising your territory
• Working with Nevada's technical and support teams when required
• Representing the Nevada brand well in the market

There is support around the sales role, allowing you to spend more of your time with customers and developing business.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone with a track record of creating new business.
You might already work in agriculture, rural services, farm inputs, machinery, irrigation, rural finance, insurance or capital equipment. Equally, Nevada is open to someone from outside the sector who can show they know how to find customers, earn trust and convert meaningful sales.

You will need to be comfortable working independently, managing a large territory and approaching customers who may not already be looking to buy.
More than anything, you will be someone who likes being responsible for a result. You will know how to decide where to spend your time, keep opportunities moving and build relationships without needing someone to organise your day.

Why Nevada?

You are not starting with an unknown name or an unproven product.

Nevada is an established New Zealand specialist with a strong reputation in its market and a team with deep technical knowledge behind it.

The role also comes with plenty of freedom. You will be trusted to manage your territory and your time around what produces the best results.
The package includes:

• An attractive salary
• Performance-based incentives
• A full-use vehicle
• Phone and laptop
• Sales and technical support
• Flexibility around where you are based

Nevada can provide an office base, while working from home is also an option for the right person. Either way, this is a field sales role and you will spend plenty of time getting out across the territory and meeting customers.

If you are a capable new-business salesperson who wants more ownership of what you build, we would be interested in talking.
