Concierge Sales Representative
Account Management & Sales Execution
Manage and grow an existing account base through structured call cycles, regular follow-through, and proactive identification of incremental revenue opportunities across the MSW wine and spirits portfolio.
Possess the ability to prospect for new on- and off-premise accounts through targeted research — including new license filings, press releases, local news, and social media — to grow distribution across the territory.
Execute a disciplined, repeatable sales cadence with high-priority accounts — including all types of retail customers and multi-unit restaurant groups — ensuring consistent touch points that drive programming, placements, and volume.
Collaborate with field sales representatives to re-engage and reactivate dormant accounts with a structured reactivation plan and defined follow-up schedule.
Maintain organized, up-to-date records of account activity, commitments, and pipeline status to ensure full visibility and accountability across the territory.
Proactively resolve service issues (delivery, product, billing) with urgency and professionalism, preserving account relationships and minimizing disruption to sales momentum.
Channel Strategy & Class of Trade Targeting
Build deep expertise across each class of trade — independent restaurants, multi-unit chain restaurants, fine dining, hotel groups, specialty retail, and traditional off-premise — to tailor sales approach, pricing, and programming to each channel's specific buying behavior and needs.
Develop and maintain an organized territory map segmenting accounts by class of trade, revenue potential, and opportunity tier, enabling prioritized and efficient outreach at scale.
Design and execute targeted outreach cadences for large retail and restaurant groups, leveraging consistent repetition and relationship-building to establish MSW as a preferred distributor partner and capture maximum placement opportunities.
Identify white-space opportunities within under-penetrated classes of trade and build structured acquisition plans with defined timelines, target account lists, and volume goals.
Align channel and class-of-trade priorities with supplier programming goals and company revenue targets in collaboration with field sales representatives and supplier partners.
Track class-of-trade performance metrics — placements, velocity, revenue by channel — to continuously refine targeting strategy and maximize results across the account base.
Marketing & Content Development
Develop and manage digital content across email campaigns, e-blasts, and web promotions — highlighting product offerings, weekly features, and timely press-driven opportunities — with direct alignment to sales goals and account targeting priorities.
Leverage promotional content and marketing materials as active sales tools to support account engagement, drive reorders, and create urgency around featured and allocated products.
