Do you have a professional background in food safety, quality, or other areas of food production or manufacturing? Perhaps a degree in Food Science? Do you deal with software just as work, or do you like to dive in and figure it out? Lastly, do you like to listen to people's needs and give them solutions to help them solve their challenges?
Joe Produce Search has been exclusively retained by Provision Analytics to find an outgoing, ambitious, and resilient individual who thrives on building strong relationships and is eager to make a meaningful impact in the produce industry and food safety. Your expertise and dedication will play a crucial role in shaping the future of food safety.
Who is Provision Analytics?
We’re an innovative SaaS solution company tailored to revolutionize the way you manage your food safety and quality programs. From farming operations to distributed farm networks, produce packers, processors, food manufacturers, and even cold transporters, our platform caters to every link of the supply chain.
With our technology you can seamlessly leverage and evolve your data, ensuring your processes stay ahead of the game. Our mission revolves around delivering nothing short of exceptional quality and service, a commitment that has earned us the trust of some well-known brands. We are behind the scenes optimizing food safety and quality every step of the way.
What exactly is the role?
Let’s talk about what this role is and is not. This is a consultative sales role. It’s not a “hardcore sales” role.
Provision has a great platform that’s reasonably priced. Their customers want and need this product, and that need is growing by the day. There are plenty of leads from various sources. Your job, as a Specialist, will be to follow up with those leads, demonstrate the product/solution, and help the prospective customers with questions and decision support. You will be able to take your food safety experience and combine it with technology to support food safety in fresh produce.
Sometimes it’s a matter of timing and/or layers of management. You’ll have to navigate their decision process and patiently work through their processes and timeframes. The more you understand food safety and its challenges, the better. Of course, you have to thoroughly understand Provisions software solution and how it will benefit the customer and their operations. There are some “sales-type” aspects to the role, but it’s really more about learning, solutions, consulting, communicating, and managing the balance between tenacity and patience.
