We put the product in front of consumers so they can buy it.

The primary function of the Retail Field Representative is to ensure store visits are completed where we have gaps in coverage and support with more complex merchandising tasks.

This is a critical role within our business and can almost be viewed as an 'Emergency Service' to trouble shoot and fix issues for our clients.
