The role

Why hiring a regional sales manager calls for a dedicated process

The regional manager is the bridge between commercial strategy and what happens on the ground. They are accountable for an entire region's targets, lead salespeople and technicians working far from headquarters and need to know local customers, distributors and competitors.

That is why mapping is done by territory: who has worked in the region, with what kind of customer and product, and with what results. In markets like agribusiness, this includes knowing the crop calendar, the region's input retailers and cooperatives and the profile of local growers.

What we assess in a regional manager

  • Knowledge of the territory, customers and local channels
  • Leading a field team and managing remotely
  • Season and portfolio planning
  • Availability and adaptation to the region
  • Behavioral profile and ability to hold people accountable
