As an on-premise sales representative I am responsible for overseeing 75+ accounts across the downtown LA and adjacent suburb markets. While visiting the accounts I collect payments, place orders while presenting customers with best pricing, present new wine and spirit items, and set meetings for supplier partners; all while maintaining an ever-growing interpersonal relationship with the buyers. In addition to growing business with the established account listing, I am responsible for pursuing new accounts before they open in market. While paperwork is being filled out and reviewed, I immediately begin work with the buyer to set up items they will be using in their well, cocktail menu, wine list, back bars, and wine cellars. While pursuing the growth of the territory alongside the customer requests, I am tasked with fulfilling the quota numbers agreed upon between SGWS and our supplier partners.

I oversaw five merchandisers whom called on a combined 75+ accounts across north OC and south LA counties. It was my responsibility to lead and assist my team with any and all challenges they meet, while also holding them accountable to execution standards based on a pre-determined displayable planner. I was held accountable to train, develop, and motivate my team in order to promote the success of individual merchandisers as well as the overall team success. During my time as a district manager, I had the pleasure to promote five individuals; two individuals to district management roles, two individuals to the on-premise sales division, and one to the inside sales division.
