Sales Merchandiser, Manhattan/Queens at Hint Inc. in New York, NY

THE OPPORTUNITY

Hint Water is looking for a Sales Merchandiser to help reinforce Hint’s expansion in the enhanced water category in the greater Manhattan & Queens market. This is an opportunity to learn about a growing brand as the beverage industry continues to trend toward healthier options.

You will work closely with your dedicated Regional Sales Manager and Distributor partners following a specific delivery schedule/route ensuring that our products are received, invoiced, and placed on display/shelves. Second, you will help in all aspects of the sales cycle: developing and maintaining key accounts, identifying opportunities for growth, and fostering customer relationships.

WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE:

• Account Relationships: You'll work with a set of specific retail store accounts. Your goal is to establish a good rapport with key individuals like store managers and receivers at each account. You'll follow up regularly to ensure that consistent ordering takes place, current customers always have the product in stock, and that Hint looks GREAT on the shelves!
• Account Management: You'll ensure pricing and product are properly displayed. Creativity and attention to detail are key! You'll also learn about our business initiatives and communicate out of stocks, other issues, or possible opportunities to your local manager.
• Promotions & Point of Sale: A large portion of the role involves building and maintaining displays to drive sales. You'll assist Sales Managers with racks, coolers, push glides, and marketing banners as other sales spaces ensuring that Point of Sale and signage are up to date. Occasionally you'll replenish coolers and stock shelves using back stock to minimize out of stocks.
• Account Growth: You'll introduce local account managers to new flavor options available from distributors and help out with customer demos and local events. You'll sell in new flavors and additional SKUs when possible.
• Time & Territory Management: You'll plan your day with your Manager in order to hit all your accounts and give each customer an excellent Hint experience. You'll also communicate with District Managers to plan for promo weeks, displays, and other sales efforts. You'll track and monitor progress by consistently using CRM tools (Repsly) to document important info, take pictures, and schedule follow-ups.
• Travel: A valid driver's license for this role. Some travel to other regions may be requested to support adjacent territories.
