Sales Representative

We sell products that you're passionate about, such as beer, seltzers, and ciders!

We are a beverage sales company looking for someone to out-hustle the competition and help make our local independent stores and chain stores successful with their beverage choices. Our Sales Representatives tell us they love our incredible portfolio, their independence, the great customers they build relationships with, and their awesome co-workers!

Our Sales Representatives sell beverages to customers in their assigned territory while continuing to expand their knowledge of the beverage categories. We choose Account Managers who can balance multiple priorities, have a passion for sales, are goal-oriented, problem-solvers and are determined to take risks and win. This full-time position is store focused, requires some sales experience, availability Monday-Friday and you must currently reside or be willing to relocate to the Lansing area.

We are a Michigan family-owned beverage distributor started in 1990, and we are passionate about helping others succeed at work and in the community. We only hire those with passion, integrity, and a strong customer focus. Once all the work is done at our fast-paced company, we also like to have fun and lots of it!

Will work for beer? Great! Working for a beverage distributor has its perks. Not only will you get to learn about and sample our products, but we also include health, dental and vision insurance, short-term and life insurance, paid time off, a best of class 401K match, and awesome company events.
