Vermont Information Processing is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Software Sales Specialist to join our Account Management Sales Team. If you’ve enjoyed a beer, soft drink, glass of wine, or spirit lately there’s a good chance that one of our applications was used in its journey from the supplier to your glass. Our software may not be able to tell us what drinks you have in your fridge at home, it knows all of the stores near you that sell your favorite beverages!  Our solutions help beverage professionals run their businesses and are used by brand owners like Anheuser Busch, Gallo, Monster Energy and 100,000 other tasty brands!

At VIP, our customers are our friends. The Software Sales Specialist will be responsible for developing meaningful relationships with our customers by maintaining and encouraging trust and loyalty. Our sales process begins with education, requiring this role to demonstrate our software products and understand the customer’s needs thoroughly in order to make the right promise. Ideal candidates for this position will be energetic, positive, and organized professionals who are able to effectively create relationships within the beverage market. A personality that shines through online meetings and a desire to excel are a must!

Position Type: Full Time. Strong preference for hybrid, (reporting to our office headquarters in Colchester, VT), but will consider remote.
