Job Description
About 220 Wine & Spirits Distribution
Join 220 Wine & Spirits Distribution, a fast-growing distribution company backed by our sister brand, Wine Crawl. We are dedicated to representing a portfolio of boutique, high-quality wine and spirits brands, helping them establish a strong presence in the market. Our mission is to drive growth and visibility for emerging brands through engaging customer experiences and strategic account management.
The Role
We are seeking an energetic, outgoing, and passionate Sales/Account Manager to represent our products with established accounts and at monthly company-driven events. This is a commission-based opportunity where your income directly reflects your drive and results, offering unlimited earning potential and a flexible schedule. You will serve as the face of our brands, creating memorable experiences that expand brand visibility and foster customer loyalty.
What You Will Do
In this role, you will lead tastings at established accounts and company events every month, creating memorable brand experiences. You will drive commission sales by building and growing accounts, generating new placements, and earning commissions for every case placed. As a representative of both 220 Wine & Spirits Distribution and Wine Crawl, you will showcase our brands in tastings, events, and activations.
You will warmly interact with customers, sharing product stories and expanding brand visibility. Conducting engaging demos that highlight product features, origin stories, and unique qualities will be a key part of your day. Additionally, you will gather consumer insights by capturing customer feedback and preferences to shape future marketing and sales strategies. Using your marketing skills, you will create social buzz and build digital engagement and awareness.
You will confidently present and educate at tastings, trade shows, and events, while identifying growth opportunities by partnering with sales leadership to expand into new and existing venues. You will also assist with setup and execution for Wine Crawl events and tastings.
Why This Role Rocks
This role offers unlimited earning potential, where your performance drives your income and commissions grow as the company grows. While not a role with a base salary, the opportunity to earn is ongoing, fueled by our expanding portfolio and growing demand. You will enjoy a flexible schedule, allowing you to work remotely and adapt your hours around accounts, tastings, and events. You will lead regular paid tastings monthly, gaining both experience and extra income. Finally, you will have the opportunity to do impactful brand work, helping to shape the success of emerging wine and spirits brands in a fast-growing distribution company.
