Day in life:

A McConnell’s Outside Sales Rep typical day is spent calling on prospective customers and providing support for existing customers. A prospect call involves cold calling Convenience Stores and qualifying them as a lead, identifying their current needs, and presenting McConnell’s as their ideal solution. Often a lead takes multiple visits to establish rapport and get a full understanding of their business. In planning a route for prospecting, the Sales Rep will also schedule visits with their existing customers, selling new programs and items to build the book of business in their stores.
