Rising to the Challenge: Position Responsibilities

Flowers Bakeries Sales of NorCal, LLC has an immediate opening for a high-performing Route Sales Representative.

A Route Sales Representative (RSR) is responsible for ordering, sales, and delivery of fresh baked products. The successful candidate must come to work with a neat, professional appearance (sometimes in a uniform) and be able to build and maintain strong relationships with customers. Daily tasks include checking your vehicle daily, keeping accurate records, quickly reporting maintenance issues, and filling out daily drivers logs, time logs, and hours of service.

This position will require flexibility to work varying workdays and early morning start times. Generally, days off are Wednesday and Sundays.

An RSR is also expected to increase sales by expanding shelf space, creatively displaying in-store promotions and displays, and making sure product shelf life is maximized by properly rotating the products.

An effective RSR will use data and marketing plans to build relationships and drive customer growth through effective communication, planning, ordering, and execution. They will work hand-in-hand with the customers to increase sales and customer satisfaction. Adaptability and flexibility will be a must since RSRs will need to service their accounts during the customers designated service windows and may need to work non-traditional business hours.

An eagerness to gain knowledge and skills about the industry along with the ability to work independently and as a team will be the key to success for an RSR.
