About The Position

This is a training role designed to prepare the Sales Trainee for the Account Sales Manager role. The primary function is to support sales initiatives and provide route coverage for the Account Sales Manager (ASM) during absences due to vacation, sickness, injury, or special projects. The Sales Trainee will collaborate with management to maintain customer relationships across sales, merchandising, and operations for all large and small format "off premise" stores. The role requires effectively servicing all customers in a safe, productive, and professional manner, adhering to Red Bull executional standards. The Sales Trainee program is a pathway to becoming an Account Sales Manager. Upon successful completion of the training and certification, the trainee is eligible to interview for open ASM positions. If no ASM or other qualified role is available and performance standards are met, the trainee may remain in the role for up to 12 months, or until a suitable role becomes available. A manager may extend this period by an additional 6 months based on continued high performance, role availability, and certification completion. The Sales Trainee role is an at-will position. Key responsibilities include understanding Red Bull and Red Bull Distribution Company basics, building and protecting the brand through proper product rotation and flow, establishing professional customer relationships to increase sales, preparing daily with necessary tools and communicating priorities, and supporting ASMs in route coverage and in-store execution. This includes meeting daily KPIs related to sales, distributions, pricing, displays, new accounts, and merchandising, as well as assisting with audits, blitzes, display building, and merchandising off-route to drive sales.
