Oberweis Dairy, Illinois, has announced that despite the current recession, the company is ramping up its hiring to build a large team of direct salespeople. The company is hiring approximately 100 direct sales representatives to grow its home delivery business.
“We hope to pair a lot of people who need work with our need to get our message out to consumers,” said Joe Oberweis, 4th generation family member and the company’s president. “Even in this tough economy, consumers still demand high quality food products, especially when it’s for their kids. And there’s no higher quality milk than Oberweis. So we’re going to take our message face-to-face, and that takes people. This is a win-win.”
The company’s win-win scenario provides benefits to people who join the team full-time and the opportunity for substantial earnings based on each person’s performance. “In a market where many people need jobs to feed their families, we’re happy to adjust our strategy to fulfill that need and simultaneously help grow our business. This is good news for everyone,” said Lino Carrillo, the company’s vice president for home delivery sales. “It’s certainly not free money, but it’s an opportunity when very few are available today.”
The company is redirecting funds previously invested in other non-advertising marketing efforts to build a team of people to talk directly to consumers. Positions are available in the following metropolitan areas: Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, and Norfolk, Va. Interested candidates should contact the company via e-mail at salesjobs@oberweis.com.
