Ahmedabad

JRM Export Private Limited is expanding its direct-to-retailer distribution business in Ahmedabad.

We manufacture and market rice products and are building a direct distribution network supplying kirana stores, rice/grain merchants, supermarkets and other retail outlets. Our portfolio currently includes varieties such as Parimal and Jeerasar rice, along with our consumer brand HEPN, and will expand into Basmati, pulses and other food staples.

We are looking for our first Field Sales Executive for Ahmedabad who can help us build this market from the ground up.

This is not an office sales role. You will spend most of your day in the market meeting retailers, opening new outlets, taking repeat orders and developing long-term retailer relationships.

Key Responsibilities

- Visit kirana stores, rice/grain merchants, provision stores and supermarkets within assigned Ahmedabad beats.
- Identify and onboard new retail outlets.
- Introduce JRM products and explain pricing, quality, retailer margins and current schemes.
- Generate trial orders and convert new retailers into regular repeat customers.
- Visit existing retailers regularly and generate repeat orders.
- Enter all retailer visits, orders and market information into the company's ERP/mobile system.
- Collect information about:
- Current rice brands and varieties sold
- Competitor pricing
- Retailer purchase prices
- Monthly sales volumes
- Schemes and promotions
- Credit terms
- New product requirements
- Follow assigned daily beat plans and maintain strong market coverage.
- Follow up with retailers whose stock may be running low.
- Support payment collection and maintain disciplined customer payment follow-up.
- Report retailer feedback, product complaints and competitor activities to management.
- Help identify opportunities for new products such as Basmati rice, pulses and other food staples.
- Build strong long-term relationships with shop owners and buyers.

Working Style

This role is suitable for someone who enjoys field sales and building a territory, rather than someone looking primarily for an office-based job.
