Turning Experience into Trusted Sales
A Career Built from the Ground Up
Some careers tell a story of growth, loyalty, and a true connection to the people you serve. That description fits Mark Goldhammer perfectly. With 43 years at Kibble Equipment, Mark’s career reflects not only longevity, but a deep, earned understanding of the equipment, the customers, and the realities of farming.
Mark didn’t start in sales — he built his foundation the long way. He began in service, moved into parts, returned to service, and later transitioned back into parts once again. He also spent four years driving truck, seeing the operation from yet another angle. Each role added perspective, knowledge, and credibility. When a sales position opened after several years working as a CSR in parts, Mark stepped into it with decades of real-world experience behind him.
Today, Mark is a Territory Sales Manager out of the Huron, South Dakota location, and sales is where all those years come together. His role isn’t just about selling equipment — it’s about understanding how an operation runs, listening to what a customer truly needs, and matching the right solution to their goals. That depth of experience is what sets his sales approach apart.
The Equipment and Relationships That Matter Most
On a good day, most of Mark’s time is spent in customer conversations, with a strong preference for being face-to-face. Whether he’s in the field, at a farmyard, or on the phone, active listening drives his day. Paperwork still plays a role, usually a few hours each day, but the heart of his job is building and maintaining trusted relationships.
Originally from Mitchell, Mark moved to Huron in 1980 and chose to stay because it’s home. What’s kept him at Kibble Equipment all these years is simple — he enjoys the work and the people. Internally and externally, relationships matter, and he values learning from customers just as much as helping them succeed.
When it comes to equipment, Mark’s favorite to work with is combines. They give him the opportunity to be in the seat with customers, in the field, talking through real-world decisions as they happen — the kind of sales interaction that can only come from firsthand experience.
Mark also takes pride in the company culture, having been there since the very beginning when Ace Brandt started acquiring stores, with Huron as the first. Seeing that growth, while standing behind the John Deere product and the company as a whole, is something he’s genuinely proud of.
For anyone inspired by Mark’s path — starting hands-on, growing through multiple roles, and ultimately thriving in sales — opportunities like that still exist today. If a career built on experience, relationships, and long-term growth sounds appealing, we encourage you to explore our current openings and see where a future with Kibble Equipment could take you.
