About The Position

Revolution Brewing, your favorite craft beer proudly brewed right here in the Midwest, is hiring an Area Sales Manager to share the story of our brewery in Wisconsin and work with our amazing distributor partner for the state. As our front-line voice you'll partner with our local distributors and retail partners to get our fresh & tasty beers into consumer fists. This may be through landing great spots for our displays in chain accounts, making sure our beer is pouring at local bars and restaurants where you make account visits, working hand in hand with brand managers at the distributor-level, or managing the days on hand at warehouses to ensure the freshest beer is in the market! We're hiring for a Wisconsin manager that lives in southeastern Wisconsin - you need to be able to travel around the state but do need to live in that area to ensure you can regularly meet with distributor reps at General Beverage. This role covers the entire state, so driving around Wisconsin 2-3 days a week is required. Let us know in your cover letter where you've had success! Established relationships with local bars, restaurants and stores in these areas will be key to creating awareness with these partners and our consumers. You’ll be in the market most days, seeing accounts to drop off merch, beer, or anything else that will let folks know about our flagship or fun, new beers. Planning your days will have you using VIP, our sales data system, to analyze sales opportunities to get Rev into the public's hands. Following up with your accounts and summing up your wins to the distributor will showcase those great communication skills we know you’ll have, too. You'll also have 3 brand ambassadors, so you'll be working with accounts to have regularly scheduled events to execute Rev's marketing & programming strategies. This role is a base of $60-65K plus quarterly bonuses up to about $3K + 10% annual bonus potential, for about an additional $16-18K in bonuses if sales goals are met. Benefits begin the first day of the month after you start and can be reviewed at sites.google.com/revbrew.com/benefits.
