Sales Manager:Kosher and Organic
Foods
At Living Tree Community Foods we market living, organic
and kosher food worldwide.We manufacture nut butter and
distribute nuts and dried fruit as well. The national market
for organic food has been growing at 20% per year for the
last decade.Last year sales totalled $9.35 billion for organic
food and $5.75 billion for kosher food.Organic sales are
expected to exceed $20 billion for 2005.
We are seeking a sales manager to take charge of our sales
to natural food stores, co-ops, wholesalers and manufacturers.
Ideally, someone familiar with the market for organic food.
Some knowledge of the elements of organic farming would
be helpful.
Someone who delights in living food. Ideally someone familiar
with the
vegan, vegetarian and live food movement. Someone who enjoys
negotiating on the phone in a creative and enthusiastic
way. Enthusiasm is a manifestation of aliveness- mirroring
the aliveness of our foods! It makes every difference!
Someone who rejoices in meeting and exceeding sales goals.
Although we've been established since 1979, in some respects,
this position is like working for a "start-up".
That is, being able to work in a fast moving and fluid environment
and to multi-task, to focus on details without losing track
of the big picture, and to prioritize and focus on what's
important, not simply what's urgent.
Start early in the morning and phone retailers, distributers
and
manufacturers on the East Coast, mid-West and then the West
Coast.
This is for a teamplayer who respects colleagues and clients.
Someone who shares our understanding of respectful communication.
We invite you to visit our retail website for insight into
our work, livingtreecommunity.com
We are an ethical business and take pride in supporting
family farmers.
