Retail Accounts – 50 % of time
3. Manage and grow current regional retail accounts and look to open others. These will follow more of a regular cadence with appointments, submissions, selections etc. Some are “house accounts” and some have outside sale representatives that help us manage the account.

In both cases this person will need to manage everything from meeting notes to price requests, samples request, forecasting, strategic planning, POS analysis, etc.
