About High Desert Tractor

We believe in building long-term relationships with our customers by providing dependable equipment, knowledgeable support, and outstanding service before, during, and after the sale.

The Opportunity
This is a true outside sales position offering a base salary plus commission, a company vehicle, and the opportunity to increase your earnings through sales performance.
You will spend your time in the field meeting prospective customers, visiting job sites and businesses, developing relationships, identifying equipment needs, and managing opportunities from the initial contact through the completed sale.
The primary focus will be representing our Kubota equipment lineup across the homeowner, construction, and agricultural markets. You will also sell aerial equipment and attachments to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
This is an opportunity for an experienced salesperson who enjoys being on the road, developing new business, building a territory, and being rewarded for results. Rather than waiting for customers to come to the dealership, you will take an active role in creating opportunities and growing sales.

- Proactively visit customers: Make regular field visits to prospective and existing customers, including homeowners, contractors, construction companies, landscapers, agricultural operations, property managers, and other equipment users.

- Represent the Kubota product line: Sell Kubota tractors, excavators, track loaders, and other equipment to customers in the homeowner, construction, and agricultural markets.
- Sell complementary products: Develop sales of aerial equipment and attachments that meet customers' equipment and application needs.

- Strong prospecting, communication, relationship-building, negotiation, and closing skills.
- A proven ability to develop new business and maintain productive customer relationships.
- Self-motivation, organization, and the discipline to manage a territory independently.
- A customer-first mindset with a commitment to finding the right solutions rather than simply making a sale.
- A competitive attitude and the desire to achieve sales goals and grow personal earnings.
- A valid driver's license and the ability to travel regularly throughout Los Angeles County and surrounding areas.
Compensation and Benefits
- Base salary plus commission: Earn a dependable base salary while increasing your total compensation through sales performance.
- Performance-based earning potential: Your ability to develop business, close sales, and grow your territory creates opportunities to increase your income.
