Sales Rep - Foodservice & Packaging - Santa Barbara

KEVIDKO Sales Professional Opportunity

KEVIDKO is a rapidly growing designer, manufacturer, importer, and distributor servicing restaurants, cafes, bakeries, hospitality groups, grocery stores, and foodservice operators throughout Southern California. We provide everything from custom printed cups, bags, boxes, containers, lids, straws, and packaging to janitorial supplies, cleaning chemicals, operational supplies, office products, specialty beverages, and countless other products businesses need to operate successfully. Unlike most suppliers, we don't simply resell products from a catalog. Our team works directly with manufacturing partners around the world, develops custom products, manages inventory locally, and operates our own Southern California distribution network. This allows us to solve problems, create products, and deliver solutions that many competitors simply cannot. Whether a client needs a custom printed coffee cup, a better takeout container, a chemical program, a specialty imported product, or a complete packaging solution, our goal is to become a trusted long-term resource for their business.

We are looking for a relationship-driven sales professional who can acquire new clients, manage existing accounts, and help businesses operate more effectively through better products, service, expertise, and solutions. This is a full-cycle sales role. You will be responsible for prospecting, acquiring clients, managing relationships, growing accounts, and serving as a trusted resource for your portfolio. Success at KEVIDKO is not measured by the number of doors you knock on or the discounts you give away. Success comes from understanding client needs, providing expertise, solving problems, building trust, and becoming a valuable long-term resource. The sales and growth naturally follow. Our sales team is supported by substantial local inventory, internal support staff, proprietary sourcing tools, custom product development capabilities, global supply chain resources, and one of the most responsive service models in the industry.

Responsibilities include acquiring new clients, managing assigned accounts, building long-term relationships, identifying opportunities for account growth, coordinating solutions for client needs, working closely with operations and customer service teams, and maintaining an organized pipeline and follow-up process.

This position is focused on developing long-term relationships with restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, hotels, hospitality businesses, wineries, country clubs, and foodservice operators throughout Montecito, Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, Summerland, Solvang, Buellton, Santa Ynez, Ventura, and surrounding Central Coast communities. While you'll have the opportunity to pursue business throughout Southern California, your primary objective is to establish KEVIDKO as the preferred supplier within this community.

Qualifications include strong communication and relationship-building skills, self-motivation and accountability, high organization and attention to detail, a valid driver's license, and a willingness to travel throughout Southern California. Foodservice, hospitality, packaging, distribution, restaurant, or B2B sales experience is preferred but not required.

Compensation and benefits include a competitive base salary, vehicle allowance, uncapped recurring commission structure, medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, ongoing training, coaching, and professional development, and significant long-term growth opportunities. We reward sales professionals who acquire new business, provide exceptional service, build strong client relationships, and consistently grow their portfolio over time.

There is no waiting for annual raises. Every client relationship you acquire, service, and grow creates another opportunity to increase your income and build a meaningful long-term career. This is not a transactional sales environment focused on one-time orders. We are looking for professionals who want to build a long-term career, become trusted advisors to their clients, and grow alongside a rapidly expanding organization. Top performers will have the opportunity to significantly increase their earnings as their client portfolio grows and develops.

Flexible work from home options available.

Compensation: $78,000.00 - $400,000.00 per year
