Job Summary
Are you a relentless, high-energy sales professional who wants to control your own income? 220 Wine and Spirits is looking for a Brand Acquisition Specialist (Hunter) to aggressively expand our boutique portfolio footprint across retail, hospitality, and venue accounts.
This is a high-upside, pure acquisition role meant for a self-starter who excels at breaking down doors, establishing fresh relationships, and securing immediate placements for our premium beverage brands. If you are a top-tier closer who thrives in the field and wants a direct link between your hustle and your bank account, this role offers an elite payout structure designed to reward your drive.
Compensation & Wealth Potential
This position is built entirely for high-performing hunters who want to maximize their income. We feature an aggressive, uncapped commission structure alongside dedicated field support:
- Guaranteed Field Support: Enjoy peace of mind while working your territory with a fixed monthly travel and gas stipend to fully support and offset your daily field operations.
- Up-Front Acquisition Bonuses: Bank up to $500 per new account acquired (tiered based on initial order size and placement volume)—allowing you to generate immediate, high-volume income with every door you open.
- True Residual Wealth: Your effort keeps paying you. Enjoy exceptional long-term financial upside with a trailing commission on all subsequent reorders from accounts you personally onboard. If they keep buying, you keep earning.
Key Responsibilities
- New Account Acquisition: Identify, pitch, and secure new placements (off-premise retail, boutique wine shops, restaurants, and high-profile hospitality venues) for the 220 portfolio.
- Pipeline Management: Build and manage a robust prospecting pipeline from cold outreach to final execution of the initial order.
- Quota Management: Meet or exceed monthly account acquisition and initial case volume quotas.
- Brand Representation: Conduct dynamic, professional product pitches and initial samplings to buyers, owners, and beverage directors.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Proven track record in outside sales, territory management, or beverage distribution (wine and spirits experience preferred but not required for a top-tier closer).
- Exceptional negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills.
- Must possess a reliable vehicle, valid driver's license, and clean driving record for daily territory travel.
- High autonomy: Ability to self-manage a daily schedule of cold calls, face-to-face visits, and pitches.
Benefits:
- Fixed monthly travel/gas stipend
- Uncapped earning potential (Bonus + Trailing Residuals)
