Area Sales Rep - off-prem downtown Chicago
About The Position
Revolution Brewing, your local craft beer proudly brewed only in Chicago, is hiring an Area Sales Rep to share the story of our brewery. As our front-line voice you'll work with our local distributor and retail partners to get our fresh beers into consumer fists. This may be through landing great spots for our displays, ensuring our seasonals are in the allocated shelf space, or talking about our tasty beer at retail store samplings. We're hiring for an off-premise rep to work in the Chicago Beverage Systems (CBS) territory - specifically retail for downtown Chicago and the residential neighborhoods in the CBS city limits. Establishing relationships with buyers at retail stores in these areas will be key to creating awareness with these partners and our consumers. You'll be in the market 4.5 days/week, visiting accounts to coordinate with buyers, drop off POS or anything else that will let Chicago know about our flagships or fun, new beers. To plan your days you'll use VIP 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. Let us know in a cover letter where you've had success!
