Sales Trainee

Red Bull•Palm Desert, CA

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 successfully participating in the training program and completing certification, the ST is eligible to interview for open ASM roles. If no ASM or other qualified role is available and the ST 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. Once a qualified role is available, the certified ST must interview for it. If promotion does not occur before the 12-month completion period expires, the assignment ends unless a manager grants an extension of up to six months based on continued high performance, completion of certification, and the absence of open roles. The ST position is at will. The ST learns the basics of Red Bull and Red Bull Distribution Company, the brand, and its products; protects the brand through proper product rotation and brand flow; and builds professional customer relationships to support sales. The position involves preparing for daily sales plans, communicating priorities with ASMs and DSMs, training with ASMs, covering routes, meeting sales and merchandising KPIs, and supporting audits, blitzes, displays, and merchandising.
