Job Description:
Sacred Thirst is a California based importer and distributor of
wine and spirits. Our portfolio is predominantly European wine, so
that will be the core of the job. But we also work with excellent
wines from California and Oregon and our spirits portfolio is heavy
in agave (mezcal and tequila) and French fruit-based distillates
(Cognac, Armagnac, Calvados, etc). Our suppliers are generally
small, family run properties who farm and work with intention and
care. We work with people we like and respect and whose products we
like to drink ourselves. The style of wine ranges from very classic
to clean renditions of natural wine. The French spirits are terroir
driven renditions of classics and the Mexican spirits are
authentic, small batch, agave distillates. An ideal candidate
will:ALL Have existing sales relationships in the wine and spirits
industry, an understanding of sales in general, and a history of
success in sales. Have a hustle mind set. Be self-motivated,
hardworking, proactive, persistent, positive, and hospitality
driven. Have above average wine knowledge and have a love for wine
and the stories behind the bottles. Above average spirits knowledge
a bonus. Have excellent communication and organizational skills.
Live on the West side of L.A. Have a car and a valid drivers
license. What you will do: Prospect and develop new on- and
off-premise accounts (restaurants, wine shops, hotels, etc.)
Generate contacts with accounts and set up tasting appointments. 40
to 45 touches with accounts per month is expected. Be knowledgeable
about our products and be able to enthusiastically tell the stories
and supply details as required. Communicate with Sales Managers
about your progress and process with your accounts and leads. Work
well with other sales reps so the team is efficient and
professional. The job requires someone who is self-motivated and
persistent. We are not a company that micromanages our employees.
There is a lot of freedom in this role but with that comes the
responsibility to produce sales. We believe we have an excellent
collection of wines and spirits. And we have chosen this industry
because we believe in the importance of the culture of wine,
spirits, food, agriculture, and community. It's an industry built
on good times and social fun and we don't forget that. But it is
also an industry that requires a lot of hustle and hard work to
succeed. Both salaried and commissioned contractor positions
available depending on candidate. Compensation is competitive and
will be commensurate with experience.Job category: Sales and
