Beverage Peddler-Wine, Spirits, Beer, Cider (Wine Jobs: Sales & Marketing)

  Fresh Coast Distributors (http://www.freshcoastdist.com)

  Chicago and Suburbs, Illinois

 

 

We're looking for energetic, motivated, self-starters to join our growing team.  Our operation and vision is unique and our suppliers are craft and quality-driven with a story to tell.  We think out-of-the-box, you should too!

The ideal candidate will be able to:

·         Open new, and maintain current accounts within territory:  restaurants, hotels, bars, wine bars, caterers, country clubs and retail accounts

·         Communicate effectively to manager on account details, status, orders and tastings

·         Utilize Google-based email, calendar and contact system, which can be accessed from any computer, laptop, mobile device or smart phone.

·         Manage accounts with professionalism and regular visits.  A car (suburbs) or other mode of transportation (city) will be necessary to visit accounts.

·         Attend weekly sales call and monthly team meetings and supplier presentations/visits

·         Schedule, attend and run tasting events

·         Assist with current or new account sets/set-ups as needed

·         Be a solution-finder, one who is not discouraged by objections or road blocks

·         Exceed customer expectations

·         Champion our causes:  “Be A Locapour” and “Drink Upstream from the Herd”

Self-motivators and “go getters” will reap the most success in this role.  We encourage our Beverage Peddlers to start part-time and grow into their full-time territory. 

Prior sales experience a plus, but not necessary. Passion for wine and sales knowledge trump knowledge.

Candidate must be over 21 and able to lift 40lbs (case of wine)
