What is Route Sales?
Route Sales is a method of selling and delivering products by a wholesale distributor directly to its customers. It involves distributors using their own branded vehicles, and strategically loading them with the inventory expected to sell on each unique route. Their driver representatives are responsible for making sales, introducing new products, and reinforcing customer relationships with a great experience.
