Description
At Lufa Farms, our mission is to create a better food system by growing food where people live and growing it more sustainably. To do so, we work with partner farmers, artisans, and neighbourhood pick-up points. We’re out to find dedicated and passionate sales representatives to reach out to our future customers and explain how they can support local farmers and food makers simply by becoming Lufavores.
Sales Representatives report to the Sales Coordinator and work with a dynamic and positive team that enjoys celebrating their successes. They’re vital to us achieving our mission because they reach out to people in our community and inform them about what we do during various events. Each conversation prompts individuals to reconsider how their food is sourced and from where. Overall, they’re ambassadors that persuade people to switch their current way of doing groceries for a more local and sustainable option by signing them up. This is the perfect position to gain experience and develop your sales skills from the training we provide. So, if you’re outgoing and love to talk, we encourage you to apply for this role - no experience needed!
