Selling the first bottle is "easy"* Selling the second one is harder (they sold the first one) But Selling them a case means... they know they are gonna sell it out. How do you do that? I call it the Sell-out Ladder

Step 1: Follow up when they receive the first bottle/case Step 2: Stop by for a drink to kick off the demand Step 3: Introduce yourself to all the staff and remind them they have your bottle Step 4: Get feedback on sell-outs & remind them to re-order

Step 5: Small training > Long masterclasses *Actually, it's not easy but it's easier than selling the second one. maffeodrinks.substack.com/p/…

"Sell in" this month with next month in mind. Stop pushing sales down the throat of the next link in the chain. Avoid that this month's decisions will jeopardize next month's sales. If you support distributors during the Sell-in They'll help you to Sell-out

1 case in 1 bar is better than 1 bottle in 6 bars True, it doesn't happen overnight But that should be what you aim for

You are mainstreamizing your brand, instead of giving it time to be assimilated by the trade. It's easy to put the price down, it's tough to bring it up.

Dear Sales Person: You think you have too many on-trade customers to handle, but with most of them, you're just wasting time. Understand whom to prioritize to scale: 👇🏻

It sounds obvious. But it's not. Brands are built bottom-up.
