The role

VDL Agrotech is a globally oriented company with 95% export. As an Area Sales Manager, you will be abroad approximately 35% of the time to visit customers and projects there. You will maintain your existing relationships and, in collaboration with local agents/dealers, further expand sales activities in your market area (specifically the CIS region). You speak the language of the customer or agent, provide advice, and translate their wishes into a suitable standard or, conversely, into a custom solution. Together with our engineering department, you ensure the technical feasibility of the project and are co-responsible for drafting the delivery terms, price, and margin policy. The organization provides the necessary support to perform the activities as efficiently as possible. You remain actively involved, but responsibility for this shifts to our projects department.

Furthermore, you will be involved in:

• Drafting a business plan to promote international sales;
• Project management;
• Realizing turnover and margin in accordance with annual budgets;
• Monitoring, analyzing, and reporting sales results;
• Attending international trade fairs and events to acquire new customers and maintain existing relationships.
