What are the responsibilities and job description for the Outside Sales Representative position at Thomsen Foodservice?
Thomsen Foodservice isn’t your typical distributor...and we definitely aren’t one of the Big Four. If you’re coming from a corporate machine packed with CRMs, dashboards, weekly “alignment” meetings, and three layers of managers who’ve never sold a day in their life… you’re going to breathe easier here.
We run our sales team like it’s 1989:
Sell hard. Know your accounts. Build relationships. Make money. That’s it.
What We Offer (Why you might want to jump a mega-corporate ship to come here)
- Flat-rate, uncapped commission. No tiers, no games, no fine print. Sell more, earn more.
- Zero busy work. No CRM babysitting, no mandatory corporate workshops, no managers tracking your mouse movement.
- Real autonomy. We hire pros and treat them like pros.
- A place to land and win. Especially if you’re burned out at a corporate distributor, they squeeze you dry, we let you run. No price pad games and the freedom you need to close a deal.
- Support without micromanagement. Senior leadership actually sells and knows the field.
- A team that still believes in relationships not algorithms.
- A full benefit package including health insurance, awesome 401K match, PTO, etc.
What You’ll Do
- Own a territory and grow it your way, leveraging your existing network and relationships.
- Call on independent restaurants, schools, healthcare, and local operators who value real reps not order takers
- Hunt for new accounts and deepen relationships with the ones you already know.
- Be the face of a distributor that actually lets you take care of customers without jumping through hoops.
What We’re Looking For
- Someone who LOVES selling and has a track record to prove it.
- A rep with real relationships in foodservice
- A self-starter who doesn’t need hand-holding or permission to make money.
- Someone who wants freedom, flexibility, and a serious earning potential.
- A rep who’s sick of corporate nonsense and just wants to get back to selling and servicing their customers
Where we deliver (potential territory locations)
- Rhode Island
- Eastern CT
- Greater Springfield, MA
- Greater Worcester, MA
- Boston and South Shore, MA
- Cape Cod
We’re not perfect and this is foodservice... but we are real, we move fast, and we let you thrive without all the noise.
