Description

Are you a natural salesperson who loves wine, connecting with people, and turning great conversations into great sales?

We’re looking for a Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Wine Sales Specialist to join our Wine Club team and help grow our business through meaningful, relationship-driven sales. This is an opportunity for someone who is energized by sales goals, confident picking up the phone, and passionate about helping customers discover wines and experiences they’ll love.

In this role, you’ll connect with wine club members, loyal customers, prospective guests, and new customers through personalized inbound and outbound sales conversations. You’ll introduce customers to new releases, limited allocations, events, wine club memberships, and other offerings while building relationships that encourage long-term loyalty.

If you’re competitive in the best way, love the thrill of closing a sale, and believe that selling wine should feel personal—not transactional—we’d love to meet you.

Why Work With Us?

Enjoy 10 paid holidays and accrue up to 3 weeks of vacation annually.
Benefit from up to 8+ sick days per year.
Receive comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance (80% covered by Testarossa).

Take advantage of Flexible Spending Accounts for both Medical & Dependent Care.
Receive a 50% discount on all wines and additional winery perks.
Gain peace of mind with Long Term Disability, Life Insurance, and Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Refer new employees and benefit from our Employee Referral Program.
Work in a beautiful, historic environment alongside passionate and fun colleagues.

Direct-to-Consumer Phone Sales

Conduct outbound sales calls to wine club members, loyal customers, and prospective guests to promote wine releases, allocation offerings, special events, seasonal promotions, and other revenue-generating opportunities.
Build and maintain strong customer relationships through personalized, consultative sales conversations designed to increase conversion, purchase frequency, and customer lifetime value.

Direct-to-Consumer Inbound Sales

Respond promptly and proactively to inbound sales inquiries via phone, email, and text, converting inquiries into wine, wine club, event, and merchandise sales.
Process customer orders generated through inbound sales campaigns and other DTC marketing initiatives.
Provide knowledgeable product recommendations, identify upselling and cross-selling opportunities, and guide customers toward purchases that align with their interests and the winery’s sales objectives.

Wine Club & Business Support

Provide occasional support to the Wine Club team with member communications, account updates, shipment processing, and retention initiatives as needed.
Support winery events, special promotions, and seasonal campaigns that create opportunities for DTC sales and customer engagement.

Why This Role Is Special

This isn’t simply an order-taking position. You’ll have a direct impact on our DTC sales and customer relationships.
