Job Description

Sysco is a leading global foodservice distribution company that provides a broad range of products and services to restaurants, healthcare, and educational facilities, hospitality businesses, and other foodservice customers. Known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service, Sysco operates across many territories, delivering fresh and specialty foods, kitchen equipment, and other essential supplies. As a well-established company with a world-class sales team, Sysco offers various opportunities for career growth and professional development. The company supports communities and associates through purpose-driven initiatives and provides an inclusive and dynamic working environment. Employees at Sysco benefit from competitive salaries, performance incentives, and comprehensive training programs. This particular opportunity is based in California, covering the territory of Kingsburg, Visalia, Tulare, and Porterville, areas known for their diverse culinary and hospitality scenes.

The role available is an outside sales position focused on promoting Sysco’s products and services. The role involves building and maintaining relationships with new and existing accounts to help customers succeed while achieving company-established sales and profit goals. This job requires a proactive approach to client engagement, with responsibilities including developing new business, penetrating existing accounts, and minimizing lost business within the assigned territory. Sales professionals in this position are expected to understand customer needs deeply, offer tailored product and service solutions, and stay informed about market trends and competitor activity to provide added value to clients.

The position may involve working non-traditional hours such as evenings, weekends, and holidays to meet customer demands effectively. Sales team members receive specialized training, and there is an emphasis on both individual and team-based selling strategies. Career pathing opportunities exist for candidates at various experience levels, from entry-level to seasoned sales professionals. Benefits accompanying this role include a competitive base salary, bonuses, promotional incentives, car allowance or mileage reimbursement for California-based candidates, a company-provided cell phone, and a robust benefits package including employee stock purchase plans and 401(k) retirement plans with automatic matching.

Working with Sysco not only means being part of a top-tier sales organization but also having the chance to engage with different ethnic market segments and participate in regular company functions, customer visits, promotions, and events. The role requires excellent communication skills, the ability to manage accounts receivable processes, and administrative duties such as preparing reports and sales budgets. Additionally, the company values ongoing professional development, encouraging participation in training sessions and supporting the mentoring of new employees. This outside sales role with Sysco is ideal for seasoned sales professionals, restaurant or culinary managers, chefs, or anyone seeking a career development opportunity in the dynamic foodservice industry.
