Description
Outside Sales Representative – Bakery & Specialty Foods Distribution | Monsey, NY & Brooklyn, NY · $70K + Commission
About the Role A well-established food distribution company is looking for a driven outside sales representative to manage and grow an existing route of specialty grocery accounts across Monsey, Brooklyn, and surrounding areas. This is a relationship-first sales role — you're not just delivering product, you're the face of the brand in every store you walk into, working to keep shelves full, well-placed, and moving. If you know how to read a room, build trust with store owners, and spot an opportunity to sell more, this role offers real earning potential.

- Place product orders directly with the warehouse/delivery team ahead of each route day
- Follow a structured weekly route covering different regions each day (routes span Monsey/Monroe, Williamsburg, Queens, Lakewood NJ, and Boro Park/Flatbush)
- Communicate regularly with the delivery team to ensure smooth, on-time fulfillment
Merchandising & Product Strategy
- Monitor how products are performing on the shelf and adjust strategy accordingly
- Recognize and remove slow-moving inventory to protect shelf space and minimize returns
- Stay alert to market trends and new opportunities (e.g., store programs) that could grow sales volume
Qualifications
- Outside sales experience required; food industry experience is a strong plus
- Reliable vehicle for daily route travel
- Strong interpersonal and negotiation skills — comfortable building relationships with store owners and managers
