Flowers Bakeries Sales of SoCal, LLC has an immediate opening for a high-performing Route Sales Representative. A Route Sales Representative (RSR) is responsible for ordering, sales, and delivery of fresh baked products.

The successful candidate must come to work with a neat, professional appearance (sometimes in a uniform) and be able to build and maintain strong relationships with customers. This position will require flexibility to work varying workdays and early morning start times. Generally, start times are around 3:00am and days off are on Wednesday and Sunday. An RSR is also expected to increase sales by expanding shelf space, creatively displaying in-store promotions and displays, and making sure product shelf life is maximized by properly rotating the products.

An effective RSR will use data and marketing plans to build relationships and drive customer growth through effective communication, planning, ordering, and execution. They will work together with the customers to increase sales and drive customer satisfaction. Adaptability and flexibility will be a must since RSRs will need to service their accounts during the customer’s designated service windows and may need to work non-traditional business hours to complete deliveries.

An eagerness to gain knowledge and skills about the industry along with the ability to work independently and as a team will be the key to success for an RSR working in a DSD (Direct Store Delivery) environment. Sales experience. High school diploma or GED. Must be able to obtain and maintain a DOT Medical Card. Must have a valid state driver’s license and documented safe driving record. Must meet Fleet Insurance Guidelines. Must adhere to federal, state, and local rules regarding the operation of a CMV.
