Sales Trainee

Red Bull•Florence, SC

About The Position

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role designed to prepare the employee for an Account Sales Manager (ASM) position. The ST supports sales initiatives and provides route coverage for ASMs during vacation, sickness, injury, or special projects. The role works with management to maintain customer relationships across sales, merchandising, and operations for large- and small-format off-premise stores, while servicing customers safely, productively, professionally, and in compliance with Red Bull executional standards. After successful participation in the training program and certification, the ST is eligible to interview for open ASM roles. If no ASM or other qualified role is available and the employee is meeting performance standards, the employee may remain in the ST role for up to 12 months or until a qualified role becomes available, whichever comes first. A certified ST must interview for an available ASM or other qualified role. If promotion does not occur by the end of the 12-month period, the assignment ends unless a manager grants an extension of up to six months based on continued high performance, no open roles, and completed certification. The role is at-will. The ST learns the Red Bull and Red Bull Distribution Company businesses, brand, and products; helps protect the brand through proper product rotation and brand flow; and builds professional customer relationships to support sales. The employee prepares for daily execution, communicates priorities with ASMs and DSMs, trains with ASMs, covers routes as needed, and supports sales and merchandising activities both on and off route.
