Sales Intern
Description
Program Dates: May- August 2027
Building strong customer relationships and growing supplier brands are at the heart of what we do. As a Sales Intern, you'll work alongside experienced sales professionals to learn how products move from the warehouse to the marketplace, helping support the retailers and customers who drive our business forward. Whether you're visiting accounts, assisting with merchandising initiatives, or participating in sales activities, you'll gain firsthand insight into the fast-paced world of beverage distribution.
In this role, you'll support sales and merchandising efforts across a variety of customer accounts, assist with sales calls and retail visits, and help execute promotional programs and product displays. You'll see how sales strategies are developed and executed, learn the importance of customer partnerships, and gain a better understanding of how market trends, product placement, and brand initiatives influence business results. Throughout the internship, you'll have opportunities to participate in team meetings, customer visits, networking events, and other industry-related activities.
As a member of the Sales team, you'll do more than observe. You'll build relationships, contribute to real projects, and develop communication, problem-solving, and business skills that are valuable in any professional setting. Through mentorship and hands-on experience, you'll gain a well-rounded understanding of sales and account management while exploring potential career opportunities in sales, business development, and customer relationship management.
