Step Up – Farm Machinery Sales Representative – Power Farming Taranaki

Agriculture is tough, and so are farmers.

They demand performance, truth, reliability, and integrity from the people they choose to work with.

To grow our Sales Team, it’s important we set the bar high.

We need someone exceptional — They might not necessarily have “machinery sales” on their CV, but absolutely has the drive, grit, and people skills to own a territory and build lifelong partnerships within a fast-changing industry.

If you are a seasoned Ag machinery Sales Rep, who knows what it takes to succeed in this game, great. We'd love to talk!

If you are in a different field, but have a strong connection to agriculture, and are thinking “I could do this,” We want to hear from you.

The real question: Do you have what it takes to actually win in this role — the traits that separate average from elite?

Relentless drive: The kind that comes from chasing a winning try in the last minute, or drilling the fundamentals while others quit.

Natural relationship builder: you know how to read people, understand the value of trust, and can turn a “no” into “let’s talk again next month.”

Coachability: like a top athlete, you listen, adapt, learn fast, and commit to getting better every season.

Curiosity: you want to understand ‘why’ and are willing to put the time into gaining a greater understanding – be it your customers concerns, market trends, or the technicalities of the machines you represent.

Technical aptitude: you have the ability to learn and understand the products we sell, their intended use, and how they might benefit a client.

Communication: you are a natural and enthusiastic communicator. You understand it’s a two-way process, and value the listening side!

Ownership mindset: you don’t wait for leads; you hunt, strategise, and own your results.

Sporting success? Teaching/coaching experience? Farming roots with a competitive edge? We’ve seen these backgrounds translate well. The discipline, resilience, communication under stress, ability to motivate and explain complex ideas — these are gold in this business.
