Route Sales Representative

Route Sales Representative

Flowers Bakeries Sales of NorCal, LLC has an immediate opening for a high-performing Route Sales Representative. A Route Sales Representative (RSR) is responsible for ordering, sales, and delivery of fresh baked products. The successful candidate must come to work with a neat, professional appearance (sometimes in a uniform) and be able to build and maintain strong relationships with customers. Drivers will check their delivery vehicle daily, keeping accurate records, quickly reporting maintenance issues, and filling out daily driver's logs, time logs, and hours of service. This position will require flexibility to work varying workdays and early morning start times. Generally, start times are around 3:00am and days off are on Wednesday and Sunday. An RSR is also expected to increase sales by expanding shelf space, creatively displaying in-store promotions and displays, and making sure product shelf life is maximized by properly rotating the products. An effective RSR will use data and marketing plans to build relationships and drive customer growth through effective communication, planning, ordering, and execution. They will work together with the customers to increase sales and drive customer satisfaction. Adaptability and flexibility will be a must since RSRs will need to service their accounts during the customer's designated service windows and may need to work non-traditional business hours to complete deliveries. An eagerness to gain knowledge and skills about the industry along with the ability to work independently and as a team will be the key to success for an RSR working in a DSD (Direct Store Delivery) environment. Prior experience as a delivery driver will be beneficial for adapting to the demands of this role.

Salary Range- $70,000 - $88,000/year. We offer a competitive salary and an excellent total rewards package. Interested job seekers who successfully complete the series of pre-screening questions and who appear to possess the basic qualifications for this position may be contacted for a telephone interview.
