Wholesale Route Sales & Manufacturer's Representative
Food Industry Base
Do you enjoy working independently, building relationships, and taking ownership of your work? Are you looking for a career that combines route sales, customer service, and brand representation?
We're looking for a motivated individual to join our wholesale team as a Wholesale Route Sales & Manufacturer's Representative. This is a unique opportunity that blends the consistency of an established delivery route with the responsibilities of a manufacturer's representative. You'll be responsible for servicing existing customers, growing your territory by developing new accounts, and representing the LaRosa's brand throughout your assigned region.
Rather than simply making deliveries, you'll become a trusted partner to our customers—helping them succeed by ensuring they always have the right products, introducing new items, and identifying opportunities to grow their business.
Responsibilities
- Service an established wholesale delivery route with professionalism and reliability.
- Grow your route by developing new wholesale customers and expanding existing accounts.
- Serve as the Manufacturer's Representative for LaRosa's by regularly visiting customer locations, building relationships, and ensuring our products are properly displayed, stocked, and represented.
- Monitor product quality, inventory levels, merchandising, and customer satisfaction.
- Introduce new products, seasonal items, and promotional opportunities to customers.
- Work with store managers, bakery managers, and buyers to identify opportunities for increased sales and product placement.
- Represent LaRosa's during in-store sampling events, product demonstrations, trade shows, and promotional events throughout the year, including occasional weekend events.
- Load and unload delivery vehicles while maintaining accurate delivery records.
- Represent the company with professionalism and provide exceptional customer service at every stop.
Qualifications
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Self-motivated and organized.
- Comfortable working independently and managing a territory.
- Sales or customer service experience is preferred.
- Previous experience in route sales, food service, merchandising, or as a manufacturer's representative is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate.
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay.
- Paid training.
- Full-time, year-round employment.
- A consistent route and schedule.
- The opportunity to build lasting customer relationships and grow your own territory.
- Independence in your day-to-day work with the support of an experienced team.
- Opportunities for advancement as the company continues to grow.
If you're looking for more than a traditional driving position and want a career where you can represent a respected brand, build customer relationships, and directly contribute to business growth, we'd love to hear from you.
