Responsibilities similar to above Corporate Account Manager with the difference being that sales calls were to independent retail owners/managers and on-premise accounts such as hotels, restaurants, etc. The sale was more immediate, but on a smaller scale in terms of volume. Merchandising was an important aspect of the job to promote the brands. Organized events on both a small and large scale including a National Sales Conference for 120+ people which involved accomodations, food, activities, meetings, all travel, both air/bus, etc. A huge private wine show at NAIT for 250+ invited guests, again including all the facets of organization of such an event. Many incentive trips and prizes were won over the years based on various brand profiles. Don Eby award voted on by Alberta Liquor Stores membership for outstanding service after my first full year as a territory manager with PMA.Numerous worldwide travel & other incentive awards and nominations over the years in conjunction with my position with PMA Canada.
