Sales Representative (Wine Jobs: Sales & Marketing)

Job Description:

Sales Representative, Tidewater & Williamsburg @ WILLIAMS CORNER WINE
(Waynesboro, VA)

You are dedicated and energetic. You are detail-oriented and thoughtful. You want to work for this company they call Williams Corner Wine.

Who we are:
- An importer and distributor of wine and other fermented and distilled beverages. We specialize in products made by dedicated and passionate craftspeople working in an environmentally conscious manner. We choose to work with growers and winemakers who recognize the unsustainability of intensive industrial monoculture and who, as a result, have decided to take a different approach to farming. Products in our portfolio are honest, made with intention, and (most importantly) delicious.

What you would be doing:
- becoming part of our dynamic sales team of passionate wine folks who are tearing it up in VA, DC, and MD.
- collaborating with our existing network of cool customers in the Tidewater and Williamsburg area and expanding that network by introducing great wines to more great people
- pouring wine, like a lot of wine. You’ll be visiting customers on the daily showing them what they should be excited about
- learning, all the time. About wine, cider, beer, cognac, cider-wines, wine-ciders, and whatever delicious beverage we find next that we weren’t aware of! (Also, Olive Oil, can’t forget olive oil)

What we require from you:
- be bright, a quick study & willing to be part of one of the most awesomest geeky wine importing/distributing companies in the history of alcoholic beverages.
- have Google Workspace as one of your BFFs, or, you are willing to make it one of your BFFs.
- be adaptable.
- be super motivated, dedicated to a fault, and extremely hard-working, but not stressed out all the time – we like to keep the vibes positive here
- be able to lift 40lb cases of wine (turns out liquid in glass bottles is kinda heavy)
- a commitment to thoughtful and courteous customer-service
- your own ride, valid license to operate said ride, and insurance in case of an accident

What is not necessarily a deal-breaker:
- you haven’t worked in a sales-specific role before. You’ll be trained. And since you're smart, you’ll get it very quickly.
- you’re less comfortable with wines from certain regions/countries. See note above about learning, we’re all doing it ALL the time. Plus, teaching each other new things is one of the best parts of working for this company.

What is really awesome about this job:
- you will grow with the company and be a key part of helping us try to rule the business of geeky beverages.
- you will be paid. Yes, paid. Base salary + commission on sales and benefits (health insurance stipend, gas and phone allowance, etc.)
- there is the possibility of work-related travel. Europe mostly, but hey, we have wines from New Zealand, too!

Where you would work:
- most of your time will be spent visiting your customers at their places of business. But your admin time is yours. Want to work from your couch, cool! From the public library? Good on you for supporting them! From the beach? You should probably make sure your phone’s hotspot works, but otherwise, great!

When you would start:
- Pretty much as soon as possible.
