Make Every Stop Count as an OCS Route Sales Representative

Picture your day starting at 7:00 a.m. You load your truck, confirm your route relief assignments, and head out to keep coffee and tea stations humming for workplaces across your territory.

• Learn brewing equipment fundamentals to make basic adjustments and minor repairs.
• Follow the Farmer Brothers customer call process (the Farmer Brothers Way to Sell) to build loyalty; make opportunistic sales calls when time allows.
