This is a field-based role requiring hustle, relationship-building skills, and deep knowledge of the LA food distribution landscape.

Why You'll Love Selling With Us (The Compensation Advantage):
We believe in rewarding hustle and long-term success. Our unique commission structure is designed to build significant residual income as you grow your territory:
1. The Foundation: Hard Work Upfront: Success starts with your drive. You'll earn competitive commissions on every initial sale you make as you build your book of business. This is where the hustle pays off directly.
2. Building Recurring Revenue (The Residual Payoff): Here's where your efforts compound! We pay residual commissions on the ongoing, consistent orders from the accounts you secure. When a store you landed keeps re-ordering our fruit cups and veggie cups week after week, month after month, you keep earning a commission on that repeat business. Your initial hard work creates a foundation of recurring income.
3. Commissions Add Up & Scale: As you add more accounts, your portfolio grows. More accounts mean more initial sales commissions AND more streams of residual income from each account's repeat orders. Your earnings potential scales directly with the size and loyalty of the customer base you cultivate. The more successful you are at building lasting relationships and driving consistent sales volume, the larger your residual commissions become.
4. Uncapped Potential: There's no limit to what you can earn. The sky's the limit based on your ability to acquire new business, grow existing accounts, and maintain strong relationships that generate consistent reorders.
In short: Land the account (earn commission), service the account (build the relationship), and earn ongoing residual commissions as long as they keep ordering. Your territory becomes your valuable, income-generating asset!
