Overview

In this role as an Account Executive, you'll be speaking with Farmers everyday.

You'll be accountable for acquiring Farms in designated territories by connecting with prospects, delivering product demonstrations, resolving objections and closing new accounts.

You should be a "hunter", innately competitive, comfortable and articulate as a presenter, accountable to ongoing metrics for Sales outcomes, and eager to become fluent in the local food and agriculture scene. With your pulse on the market, you'll be expected to provide feedback internally to the Marketing, Success and Product teams (about opportunities and challenges).
