    Technical Sales Rep

    This is a unique role where their sales approach is unlike traditional input sales — it ties product performance directly to seed success and field outcomes. Their portfolio includes seed-applied technologies, nitrogen-protecting biologicals, and in-season stress mitigation products that drive higher stand counts, early growth, and top yield potential.

    If you’re ready to bring energy, agronomic expertise, and a winning mindset to a company redefining how inputs deliver results — this is your opportunity.

    What’s in it for you:

    • Join a rapidly growing ag technology and biologicals company making a major impact across 25+ states in the U.S.
    • Be part of a driven, goal-oriented sales organization that has doubled its technical sales team in the past 3 months and continues to expand.
    • Work alongside progressive seed partners and channel dealers—bringing innovative agronomy solutions directly to the farm.
    • Enjoy strong base pay, outstanding commission potential, and a supportive structure with clear performance goals and development.

    This role will be responsible for:

    • Partnering closely with seed dealers and channel partners to provide technical training, education, and co-selling support.
    • Driving territory sales growth in crop inputs, biologicals, and nutritionals through existing and new dealer relationships.
    • Managing and expanding a book of business while prospecting for new channel partners (approx. 80–90% dealer support, 10–15% new development).
    • Executing a structured, data-driven sales process including goal setting, performance reviews, and quarterly sales outcomes.
    • Collaborating with the Business Development Manager and partner seed companies to drive sales alignment and field training opportunities.

    Expectations will include:

    • Demonstrated success in ag retail, seed, or crop input sales with a track record of closing business through multiple touchpoints.
    • Proven ability to educate and influence growers and dealers on biological and nutritional technologies that drive yield and ROI.
    • Willingness to travel throughout this OH/MI region to meet clients, attend field events, and support seed partners.
    • Strong communication, organization, and presentation skills with the ability to thrive in an entrepreneurial, high-growth environment.
    • Hands-on collaboration with distribution networks — understanding how seed performance, biologicals, and nutrient technologies intersect in the field.

    A qualified candidate will possess the following:

    • 5–10+ years of ag sales experience (seed, biologicals, agronomy, or ag retail preferred).
    • Bachelor’s degree in Agronomy, Ag Business, Marketing, or related field (preferred).
    • Strong understanding of crop fertility, soil health, and farm profitability drivers.
    • Competitive, self-motivated, and committed to helping growers and dealers win through innovative agronomic solutions.
    • Trustworthy, organized, and able to adapt to changing market conditions.

    Compensation:  Targeting a base salary from $90-$140K, depending on experience.

    Benefits:  Full benefit package, 401K, option of company truck or vehicle stipend.

    Location:  Southern MI or OH, likely the Western 1/2 of Ohio.

    *Candidates must be eligible to work in the US as well as meet the qualifications listed above in order to be considered for the Technical Sales Rep job.
