The Challenge

The role of Agri Sales Consultants with AHV requires multiple technical skillsets combining, dairy, animal husbandry and commercial acumen. Furthermore, one of the primary roles of this post is educating farmers, providing a consultative approach which requires excellent people skills and the ability to build rapport while nurturing long lasting relationships. Bringing a new product to market which requires direct B2C selling can be a challenge in itself - particularly in the Agri Sector where lies strong competition for attracting suitable talent.
