Welcome to Route Sales!

[Audio] Welcome to route sales!. Welcome to Route Sales!.

[Audio] Route sales is a fantastic fit for anyone who is self-motivated and eager to succeed..

[Audio] Route sales team members help the company achieve its sales goals while providing a valuable connection with our customers..

[Audio] The hourly rate is determined at the market level, considering the expected sales and subsequent commission opportunities. Hourly rates and total compensation are benchmarked against similar roles within the employee's particular market to ensure fairness. On average, our route sales team members work 50 hours per week, so they receive their hourly rate for every hour worked. The commission model is straightforward: 5 percent commission on branded retail net sales dollars and 2 percent commission on all private label net sales and on restaurant and institution sales. The commission model centers on branded net retail sales. It enables team members who drive higher sales to earn more money..

[Audio] You'll want to work with your Route Sales Director to make sure your orders are on-target and that you're effectively balancing stales. In addition, route sales team members are also encouraged to work with their stores' managers to recommend incremental displays. Let's say an employee sees an opportunity to encourage the promotion of a product that's selling well. Route sales team members are empowered to speak with the store's leadership to propose an idea, like an end-cap display or a promotional table. And, they're welcome to walk through a pitch with the route sales director to get feedback and better prepare for the conversation..

[Audio] Now, for this week, the route sales team member executed a solid promotion with an endcap of bread, so the branded net retail sales came in at the higher end of the expected range: $14,000. So, the team member can expect to take home $700 in commission. When you add that to the $825 earned, the weekly take-home pay is $1,525, before taxes and withholdings..
