Brand & Sales Representative
Location: Field-based
Schedule: Flexible, primarily Monday–Friday
Type: Full Time, Part TIme, or Contract
Compensation: Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
WHO WE ARE
Revolution Bees was founded by beekeepers in 2020. What started as a passion for artisanal honey has grown into a full lineup of modern craft meads - crisp, sparkling, fermented to dryness. We make the world's oldest alcoholic beverage for the modern palate.
This is our first dedicated sales and brand hire, and that matters. You won't be inheriting a playbook — you'll be writing it. We're looking for someone who is energetic, creative, and genuinely excited about craft mead, local food, honeybees, and building something from the ground up.
THE ROLE
As our Brand & Sales Representative, you'll be the face of Revolution Bees in the market. Your mission is to: open new accounts, drive sell-through at existing accounts, build collaborative relationships with other bars, restaurants, and craft beverage makers, and educate consumers and trade partners about mead. You'll report directly to the founders and have real influence over how we grow.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Grow Our Accounts
- Prospect and close new on-premise (bars, restaurants, taprooms) and off-premise (beer stores, bottle shops, grocery) accounts, working both independently and with our wholesaler’s sales team
- Develop and execute monthly sales goals in your territory
- Identify and pursue merchandising and promotional opportunities with retail and hospitality partners
- Monitor product freshness and placement to ensure our brand shows up well in every account
Build Brand Awareness & Educate
- Conduct in-store tastings, demos, and staff trainings at accounts — bringing the mead education to them
- Tell the Revolution Bees story compellingly: our beekeeping roots, our honey sourcing, our process, and why mead matters
- Develop consumer-facing materials and talking points that demystify mead and build genuine fans
- Represent Revolution Bees at events, markets, festivals, and trade shows
Drive Sell-Through at Existing Accounts
- Maintain regular contact with buyers and on-premise staff to keep Revolution Bees top of mind
- Review velocity data and work proactively with accounts & wholesalers to move product — reorders, seasonal features, specials
- Train bar and retail staff so they can confidently recommend our meads to their customers
Cultivate Collaborative Partnerships
- Identify and approach local breweries, cideries, and craft beverage producers for collaborative mead projects
- Help conceive and bring to life co-branded or co-fermented beverages that introduce our brand to new audiences
- Build and operationalize programming at bars and restaurants to drive customer engagement
Keep Track of It All
- Log account visits, contacts, and follow-ups in our CRM
- Send weekly territory recaps and flag opportunities or challenges early
- Maintain accurate records on account status, inventory, and sell-through
WHO YOU ARE
- Energetic, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently in the field
- Creative — you see promotional and partnership opportunities others would miss
- A natural relationship builder who genuinely enjoys meeting new people
- Passionate about craft beverages, local food culture, or the natural world (beekeeping background a plus!)
- Excellent communicator — in person, over email, and in a crowd
- Highly organized and able to juggle multiple accounts and priorities without dropping the ball
- 21 years of age or older
- Must reside in or near the territory you'll be covering & have a reliable vehicle and a valid drivers license
Bonus Points For...
- Outside sales experience, especially in alcohol/beer/wine/cider/spirits
- Experience in the craft beverage industry — brewery, taproom, distributor, or wholesaler
- An existing network of buyers, bar managers, or beverage directors in our region
- Experience planning or running events and tastings
- Comfort with Google Workspace and CRM tools
