Job Description

This beverage distributor needs a rep in Paarl who knows the shops, the owners and the numbers. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The site is in Paarl; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Visit 8 to 15 outlets a day on a planned call cycle.
  • Check shelf prices against the promo list and fix wrong tickets.
  • Handle returns and credit claims for damaged stock.
  • Pack shelves, rotate stock and remove damaged or expired lines.
  • Set up promotional displays and check planogram compliance with photos.
  • Run in-store tastings and demos on month-end weekends.
  • Log kilometres and fuel slips for the monthly claim.

What you need

  • A valid Code 08 (Code B) driver's licence, for rep roles
  • Comfortable with a smartphone sales app and WhatsApp reporting
  • You can work to daily and monthly volume targets
  • Physically able to lift cases and pack shelves

Helpful, not essential

  • A sales or marketing certificate
  • Speaking two or more local languages
  • Existing relationships with independent retailers

What you get

  • Product samples and staff pricing
  • Cellphone and data allowance
  • Branded uniform and safety boots
