About the Role
We are looking for an energetic and target-driven Field Sales Executive to visit Krushi Seva Kendras, agricultural retailers, dealers and distributors across assigned territories in Maharashtra.
The selected candidate will demonstrate the KrishiDukan platform, sell paid subscriptions, collect payments, complete initial onboarding and build strong relationships with agricultural retailers.
This is a field-intensive role requiring regular travel, cold visits and direct interaction with shop owners. The candidate must be comfortable working independently across towns and rural markets.
Key Responsibilities
- Map Krushi Seva Kendras, agricultural retailers, dealers and distributors within the assigned territory.
- Plan daily travel routes to maximise productive retailer visits.
- Conduct cold visits to agricultural shops without depending entirely on pre-booked appointments.
- Meet shop owners and relevant decision-makers.
- Understand the retailer’s product categories, customer base, digital presence and current business challenges.
- Demonstrate the KrishiDukan website and mobile application using a smartphone.
- Explain how retailers can create a digital presence, list products, receive farmer enquiries and participate in online ordering.
- Explain subscription pricing, available plans and onboarding requirements clearly.
- Handle objections related to pricing, technology adoption, expected farmer response and product-listing effort.
- Convert interested retailers into paying subscribers.
- Collect payments and ensure that payment records are submitted accurately.
- Assist retailers with registration, subscription purchase and initial platform onboarding.
- Ensure that newly onboarded retailers add relevant products and understand how to use the platform.
- Conduct follow-up visits and calls with interested or partially onboarded retailers.
- Build strong relationships that support renewals, upgrades and referrals.
- Collect information about local crops, product demand, competing platforms and retailer requirements.
- Identify potential agricultural manufacturers and distributors operating within the territory.
- Maintain accurate records of visits, demonstrations, follow-ups, payments and onboarding status.
- Submit daily activity reports and weekly territory forecasts.
- Coordinate with management and the inside-sales team on high-value opportunities.
Performance Expectations After the initial training and ramp-up period, the role will carry an expected target of approximately ₹1,50,000–₹2,00,000 in collected sales per month, depending on the assigned territory and customer mix.
Performance will be measured through:
- Retailers mapped
- Quality visits completed
- Decision-makers met
- Platform demonstrations conducted
- Qualified opportunities created
- Paid subscriptions closed
- Revenue collected
- Retailers successfully onboarded
- Products added by onboarded retailers
- Renewals and referrals
- Reporting accuracy and field discipline
Expected daily activity may include:
- 12–15 quality retailer visits
- At least 5 complete platform demonstrations
- Follow-up with previously interested retailers
- Same-day reporting of visits, outcomes and next actions
- Geo-tagged attendance or visit records where required
Performance will be evaluated on collected revenue and successful customer activation—not only on the number of shops visited.
Required Skills
- Strong spoken Marathi and Hindi.
- Confidence in meeting shop owners through cold visits.
- Ability to explain a digital product in simple language.
- Strong persuasion, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
- Comfortable working with monthly sales and collection targets.

- Basic smartphone and mobile-application proficiency.
- Ability to submit daily reports accurately.
