Work History

Sales & Delivery

ABarr Simpson
12.2022 - Current
  • I walk into restaurants and bars/taverns who are current or potential customers. If they are selling the two main national brands of soda, I explain the benefits of carrying our brand - RC, in addition to, or instead of what they are selling. I also promote our pizza and other products which we carry. and explain why our brands are more monetarily beneficial.
  • When delivering products, I discuss the customer;s concerns, answer questions and try to make their lives easier and more productive.

Delivery and Logistics

Rocor Beverages
02.2011 - 11.2022
  • I was co-owner of Rocor Beverages. We started the company in 2011 and sold it to ABarr (where I currently work) in November 2022.
  • I did a bit of everything at Rocor. A big part of my job was setting up the logistics of delivering in a timely manner. When delivering, I talked to our customers to make sure that all was running smoothly and that they were happy with our products and service.
  • As co-owner, I also needed to keep open communication with our employees. Happy employees are more motivated to do a good job.

Skills

  • My last 14 years has been meeting new people on a daily basis Establishing a good relation with each has been an integral part of my job Keeping a positive attitude and a smile has been important
  • We have customers in 25 counties Fortunately, making the delivery routes more efficient is a task I've enjoyed
