Area Sales Representative - Chicago (northside)

Revolution Brewing, your local craft beer proudly brewed only in Chicago, is hiring an Area Sales Rep to share the story of our brewery. As our front-line voice you'll work with our local distributor and retail partners to get our fresh beers into consumer fists. This may be through landing great spots for our displays, making sure our beer is pouring at your local bar or restaurant, or talking about our tasty beer at samplings or festivals in the future.

We're hiring for a rep to work in the Chicago Beverage Systems (CBS) territory - specifically the northside covering multiple neighborhoods from Andersonville to Portage Park to Ukrainian Village. Establishing relationships with local bars and restaurants in these areas will be key to creating awareness with these partners and our consumers. You'll be in the market 4.5 days/week, visiting accounts to drop off merch, beer, or anything else that will let Chicago know about our flagships or fun, new beers. To plan your days you'll use VIP to analyze sales opportunities to get Rev into the public's hands. Following up with your accounts and summing up your wins to the distributor will showcase those great communication skills we know you'll have, too. Let us know in a cover letter where you've had success!

• You'll have 1-7 years working for a beer wholesaler or supplier within the Chicagoland market, with a Bachelors degree OR equivalent combination of education and experience, so degree not required.
• You'll be proficient at pulling data to analyze in Excel to create your own sales plan - IRI and Karma notes is a plus.
• A reliable car is a must, as you'll travel around different neighborhoods in Chicago.
• Nights and weekends availability is required, with flex time to ensure time off is provided. There will eventually be 1-2 day trips to our other markets supporting our out of state reps for Crew Drives, but not until 2024.
• You'll already have experience successfully meeting sales goals, prioritizing independent tasks, and handling multiple projects.
• You have to be able to lift and maneuver 35-pound cases, as well as maneuver and place full kegs.
