Your sales and account management knowledge will be essential, but just as important will be interpersonal and leadership skills. You will coordinate among a number of internal teams (Marketing, R&D, Finance and Operations) as well as customer contacts, and you'll need to stay on top of things in order to keep projects on track. For the most part a collaborative approach will work, but there may be times when you need to influence and motivate others. It will be essential that you take diligent notes during meetings, transform them into action plans, and follow through from inception to completion.

Lots of job postings talk about "fast-paced environments," but in working with fresh produce it is particularly important. You will need drive and initiative -- it isn't enough to say, "I sent an email and I'm waiting for a response." You'll need to follow up diligently and ensure goals are achieved quickly.

In addition, in order to be an outstanding Regional Sales Manager, you will have:
  • A knack for managing details, as well as a grasp of the bigger picture.
  • A high energy approach and out-of-the-box thinking.
  • The ability to truly understand your customers' needs and goals.
  • Strong self-motivation and the discipline to work effectively from a home office.
  • The ability to combine creativity and analytical thinking to solve problems.
