Relief Sales Representative

Description

Why Summit Beverage?

As a Relief Sales Representative, you'll step in to run sales routes when a teammate is out, and spend the rest of your time merchandising in our key accounts. You'll learn every route in the market, work with a wide range of customers (retail, bars, restaurants), and build the experience that can lead to a route of your own.

What You'll Do

When covering a sales route:

• Run the route efficiently, calling on each account on schedule and spotting new sales opportunities
• Present products, take orders and close sales to keep customers stocked and hit volume and distribution goals
• Manage inventory levels, collect payments and keep route records accurate and up to date
• Build displays, execute ad features and perform resets that beat the competition
• Resolve customer questions and issues quickly and professionally

When there's no route to cover:

• Merchandise in stores: stock, rotate and face product on shelves, in coolers and on displays
• Work back stock and check pricing, rotation and placement
• Pull outdated or damaged product to keep our quality standards high
