Premium Distributor information

What is a premium distributor?

Premium Distributors are companies or individuals responsible for distributing high-quality or premium products, often on behalf of manufacturers, to retailers, wholesalers, or directly to consumers. They focus on ensuring that premium brands reach the right markets and maintain their reputation by providing excellent service, logistics, and marketing support. Typically, premium distributors have an established network and expertise in handling luxury or high-end goods, ensuring that products are stored, transported, and presented according to brand standards.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a premium distributor?

To thrive as a Premium Distributor, you need strong sales acumen, product knowledge, and experience in supply chain or distribution, often supported by a relevant business degree or logistics certification. Familiarity with inventory management systems, CRM software, and order fulfillment platforms is typically required. Outstanding interpersonal skills, negotiation ability, and customer service orientation help build lasting client relationships and drive repeat business. These skills ensure efficient product distribution, maximize sales opportunities, and maintain high client satisfaction in a competitive market.

What are common challenges faced by premium distributors, and how can they be addressed?

Premium Distributors often encounter challenges such as managing multiple client accounts, meeting high sales targets, and ensuring timely deliveries. Balancing the demands of various premium brands while maintaining strong relationships with retailers and suppliers requires excellent organizational and communication skills. Staying proactive with inventory management and leveraging technology for logistics can help address these challenges. Additionally, collaborating closely with sales and marketing teams ensures alignment on promotional strategies and customer needs.

Job description

At Ben E. Keith Company, our legacy is strong-and our future is even stronger.
For more than a century, we've been leaders in fine food and premium beverage distribution, known for delivering excellence and building lasting partnerships. Today, our Food Division spans multiple states, and our Beverage Division brings top beverage brands to communities across Texas.
But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to people. We invest in our employees, empower growth, and create opportunities to make an impact-because when our people succeed, so do our customers and our business. Since 1906, that's been our promise.
Distributor Sales Representative - Joplin, MO
Ready to take your sales career to the next level?
Ben E. Keith is looking for a driven, energetic Distributor Sales Representative to grow our foodservice business. In this role, you'll build strong customer relationships, uncover new sales opportunities, and help foodservice establishments keep the products and supplies they need to succeed.
What You'll Do
  • Build Customer Relationships: Travel throughout your assigned territory to visit customers, understand their needs, and make sure they have the food products and supplies they need.
  • Grow the Business: Identify and pursue new customers by researching local businesses, directories, newspapers, and other sources to develop strong sales leads.
  • Drive Sales: Manage daily sales activities, follow up on opportunities, and consistently work toward-and exceed-sales goals.
  • Be a Trusted Partner: Deliver excellent service while helping customers find the right products and solutions for their businesses.

What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing preferred, or equivalent sales experience
  • At least 3 years of foodservice sales experience, preferably selling to restaurants for a major foodservice distributor
  • Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Word and Excel
  • Ability and willingness to learn and use internal business applications
  • Comfortable working with numbers, including sales, commissions, discounts, and volume calculations
  • Valid driver's license with no more than 3 moving violations in the past 3 years
  • No DUI convictions within the past 3 years

Why This Role?
If you're competitive, customer-focused, and energized by the opportunity to grow a territory, this is a chance to make a real impact. Bring your sales skills, build lasting customer relationships, and help BEK continue to grow.
We offer employees the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in collaborative, results-driven environments supported by competitive benefits, including:
  • Medical, Dental, Vision & Life Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match + 100% Company-Paid Profit Sharing
  • Paid Time Off & Holidays
  • Wellness, EAP & Educational Assistance
