Sales Trainee

About the role

This is a training role designed to prepare the Sales Trainee for the Account Sales Manager position. The role primarily supports sales initiatives and provides route coverage for the ASM during vacation, sickness, injury, or special projects as needed. The Sales Trainee works with management to maintain customer relationships between sales, merchandising, and operations for all large and small format “off premise” stores. The Sales Trainee must service all customers in a safe, productive, and professional manner in compliance with Red Bull executional standards.

Training

• Upon successful participation in the training program, the Sales Trainee is eligible to interview for open Account Sales Manager (ASM) roles.
• Upon completion of the program and certification, if no ASM or otherwise qualified role is available and the Sales Trainee is meeting performance standards, the employee may remain in the Sales Trainee role for up to 12 months or until an ASM or another qualified role becomes available (whichever comes first).
• Once an ASM or another qualified role is available, the certified Sales Trainee must interview for that role.
• If promotion to the role of Account Sales Manager (or other role) does not occur prior to the expiration of the 12-month completion period, the Sales Trainee role will be vacated due to end of assignment unless an exception applies.
• Based on continued high performance, no open roles, and certification completion, a manager may extend the 12-month completion period by an additional 6 months.
• The Sales Trainee role is an at-will position, meaning the Company or Sales Trainee can terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without cause.
