  • Provide product education and training to new accounts and their staff
  • Collaborate with account staff to drive sales through features, promotions, events, and samplings
  • Manage the onboarding and training of accounts new to Long Drink
  • Ensure point-of-sale and retail merchandising materials are properly executed and maintained
  • Provide feedback and event recaps to the local team
  • Ensure all sales practices are compliant with state & company policies/law

JOB REQUIREMENTS
