Outside Sales Rep - Natural Foods / Beverages

austin, TX
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Are you the kind of person that loves striking up conversations with new people? If so, we are looking for a Sales Rep to sell our unique brand of Hard Water Kefir (No, it’s not Kombucha) to convenience and grocery stores that cater towards natural and organic foods. Austin is our biggest market opportunity for growth but you will also oversee San Antonio, where we are headquartered and have our original Taproom.

    We have brewed a first-of-its-kind Water Kefir product and are excited to share it with the world. We have a local Tap Room open already and are now looking to grow sales rapidly in 2025. This is a startup company and we are looking for people excited about the prospect of representing a unique brand with a compelling value proposition. A Clean, Alcoholic Beverage with health benefits, 0 sugar, and 0 hangover! This product sells itself!

    Responsibilities:

    • Open up new accounts with convenience stores that cater towards Natural / Organic foods and drinks.
    • Product Education to customers about Water Kefir, its taste, benefits, and origins/company story.
    • Maintain effective relations with customers by serving as the primary point of contact and building good rapport
    • Supply accounts with the product by personally calling on accounts on a set schedule
    • Ensure accuracy of orders by maintaining up-to-date and current route book
    • Maintain sales, distribution, space allocation, placements, displays, and proper pricing
    • Upholds law regarding ABC regulations
    • Ensure fresh product by proper rotation in accounts
    • Remain up-to-date on competitor pricing and trends
    • Investigate and resolve all customer complaints and problems

    Requirements:

    Though experience selling into and existing contacts with natural foods stores is preferred, it is not required. What is required is an outgoing personality who is not afraid of striking up a conversation. This is a sales position and the only way you will be successful is if you are making calls, and meeting people. We are open to hiring seasoned industry sales professionals with deep contacts as well as those with less experience but the right personality, drive, and fit with our company culture.

    We are open to paying a base salary for someone with less industry experience who would need to spend some time building a pipeline and we are also open to paying more or 100% commission to someone who has already sold into our target market and is confident they have contacts they can get us into quickly.

    Our culture is very important. Our Taproom has a DJ Booth featuring great music on the weekends, we love to host drag shows locally and love supporting LGBTQ Organizations, and our Founder / CEO is an Asian American Female! You could say we have a bit of a Hippy Vibe and are looking for people who like to have fun and will fit in well! We have a fun story and are looking for someone to help us write the next exciting chapter!
