Sales Trainee

Red Bull•Terre Haute, IN

About The Position

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role designed to prepare the employee for an Account Sales Manager (ASM) role. 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 serving customers safely, productively, professionally, and in compliance with Red Bull executional standards. After successful participation in the training program, the ST is eligible to interview for open ASM roles. After completing the program and certification, the ST may remain in the role for up to 12 months—or until an ASM or other qualified role becomes available, whichever comes first—if no suitable role is available and performance standards are met. A manager may extend this period by an additional six months in specified circumstances. Once an ASM or another qualified role is available, the certified ST must interview for it. If promotion does not occur before the assignment period expires, the ST role ends unless an exception applies. The position is at-will. The ST learns about Red Bull, its distribution company, brand, and products; supports brand standards and customer relationships; prepares for daily sales plans; trains with ASMs; covers ASM routes; works toward daily sales and merchandising KPIs; and supports audits, blitzes, displays, and other sales activities.
