ERIN ROGERS

• Effectively moved back to my home state of NJ and reconnected with all my past accounts & friends in the industry.

• Worked alongside Master Sommelier Brett Zimmerman, learning much valuable information based on his expertise and palate.

• Successfully managed and grew an extensive existing account base for a well-known, highly respected importer/distributor through experienced route planning and knowledge of the job responsibilities. Worked independently to sell products from the portfolio and provided exemplary customer service to existing accounts as well as opening up new accounts within my territory.

Got my first wholesale experience with a small, family-owned & operated wine and spirit importer before he sold to Regal and retired. We are still in touch!

• Successfully managed a boutique wine shop in an up-scale neighborhood, providing excellent, friendly customer service to patrons. Purchased $10,000 worth of inventory weekly - met with sales people regularly to taste wines and make executive decisions on what to bring into inventory. Wrote weekly e-mail blasts (increasing number of opens 20%) % while maintaining all business schedules and PO's.

• Accurately performed in-depth and informational wine tastings, as well as conducted personal tours of the winery.
