IMPORTANT SEARCH TIPS
  • Describe your customers. Examples: retail, apparel, gift shop, medical, OEM, industrial, machine, component, auto, department store, distributor, wholesale, etc.
  • Note: do not include cities or states with your keywords. Territories are not part of the keyword field and will dramatically reduce your results.
  • Once you are registered with RepHunter, you can do an Advanced Search, which allows searching by Territories and more.
TO FIND RESULTS WITH ...
All Of The Words
Enter one or more words. All must be present to be included in the result. For example, the search home office will find entries with both home AND office but not necessarily as adjacent words.
The Exact Phrase
Enter quotes as part of the search. For example, "home office" (with the quotes entered) will find only entries having the exact phrase home office.
At Least One Of The Words
Put a comma or "OR" between the words. Either word must be present to be included in the result. For example home, office will find entries with either home OR office. Another more complex example: home office, copier will find entries with home AND office OR copier. Likewise for copier, home office.
Word Boundaries
The search function has been enhanced so the word boundary symbols [ and ] are no longer necessary.
Negative Keywords
To search for results that do NOT include a keyword (example: home office but not copier), use a minus sign immediately before the keyword you wish to omit.
Example: home office -copier

The Wine And Spirits Industry

Expanding with Sales Reps in the Wine and Spirits Market

The wine industry is a growing sector of the economy in many states, with investors and small operations opening in order to meet the sales resurgence in the wine market. Wineries have an array of sales choices: in-house sales personnel, online direct to retail sales, wine wholesalers, or a network of outside independent sales reps or sales rep agencies. Each choice comes with its own positive and negative attributes. How to sell and not get lost in a market awash in competition and potential middlemen?

Since 2001 the beer market has steadily been losing market share to the wine and spirit markets. With greater demand - especially in the under 30 and over 50 age groups - wineries are looking at ways to improve market penetration or expanding territorial reach to capture their share of the growing market.

Connecting with independent sales reps or agencies, serving as wholesalers, that have the sales experience, connections with the wine selling establishments (restaurants, specialty shops and retail stores), product training and cold-calling presentation and negotiation skills is one way to quickly expand sales. Using experienced commission-only, independent wine sales reps can help both established wineries and new ventures increase wine sales and market coverage. Sales reps aid wine wholesalers in increasing sales volume, frontlines in wine market feedback on pricing and marketing, and - with their profit motive - keep sales expenses down versus the overhead of an in-house sales force.

Getting your product into the right hands requires strategic work. Territorial growth and market penetration are accelerated by augmenting in-house staff with experienced independent sales reps. Check out RepHunter today to kick start your wholesale sales representatives.

Did you know?

  • The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the alcohol market is expected to be 7.9% from 2020 through 2023.
  • The US beer, wine, and liquor store industry includes over 62,000 stores with combined annual revenue of about $93 billion in 2020.
  • The US has a highly fragmented market: the top 50 companies account for only 20% of sales.
  • The wine, beer and spirits market is one of the most diverse - including grocery stores, warehouse clubs, convenience stores, some drugstores, restaurants, bars and some online sales.
  • While there has been an increase in alcohol sales across retail and ecommerce channels, it has not been enough to offset the losses incurred due to bar and restaurant shutdowns due to Covid. The IWSR (International Wine and Spirits Record) anticipates recent double-digit global declines in sales could take until 2024 to recover.
  • Independent Reps in the Wine And Spirits Industry

    Wine sales reps can help wineries bring a new wine product to market or expand market penetration to include a mix of retail and restaurant buyers with their level of marketing savvy, understanding of wines and the wine industry, and their business relationships. It takes planning and effort to get your products from the vineyard to the varied end user markets, and historically commission-only wholesale sales reps have the skills and connections to help your business bridge that gap.

    As a winery, obtaining distribution alone can be a challenge, especially if you are also handling the many legal and operations complexities of a start-up business. Having an online presence can help sales in a passive selling way. To speed up the sales process, independent sale representatives or wine sales rep agencies can add your products to their territory and wine buying establishments, moving your products through an established wholesale distribution channel.

    Even if your company utilizes an in-house sales staff, wholesale commission-only sales reps can provide you with the sales experience and expertise for your area with the additional asset of utilizing the profit motive. To get your product off the ground quickly and profitably, a wine sales rep or agency can be the greatest leverage point for success. The experience wine sales reps have working with large and small establishments, and knowing what wine buyers and sommeliers are looking for, provide great benefits to the wine industry.

    Find Independent Wine Sales Rep Job Opportunities

    Success in selling for wineries, vintners and distributors as a commission-only manufacturers sales rep involves carrying multiple lines, proactively solving customers’ problems, knowing your customers clientele as well as the competitions’ offering. Wine and spirit sales differ from some markets in that potential clients are end users like restaurants and bars along with the retail markets of food stores and wine and cheese shops. Knowing the needs of this diverse customer base is important to success as an independent sales rep. Where can you find lines to add to your portfolio that will help you make the most possible commission as an independent sales rep?

    Check out the tips from RepHunter below and learn how to get the most out of your wine sales rep job opportunities.

    Have a Story for Each Brand

    Obviously the taste test for the savvy buyer is a critical hurdle, but equally important is the story that accompanies the wine. Putting a face and personality to a wine helps to make it interesting and memorable. To grow quickly, new wineries often depend on an outside force of independent sales reps to jumpstart sales with their knowledge of a territory and buyer, so utilizing your knowledge of the territory to help craft an appealing story can be an invaluable part of your relationship.

    Showing Up Counts

    A big complaint wine stores and restaurants have with their spirits or wine sales reps is the inconsistency of onsite visits, especially around holidays and historically high sales times of the year. For opening new accounts, more frequent visits help establish your commitment and familiarity with buying staff. Getting to know the buying cycles, or rhythm, of each potential client helps sales reps visit at the “right time” to gain orders.

    Do segment customers have additional needs you could service, since they trust you? Search in your territory for companies looking to expand who sell these additional products. Or contact these companies about outside sales rep opportunities if they aren't represented yet in your sales region. Identify where there are new contracts just waiting to happen, and add lines based on that.

    Understand the Customer’s Wine Sales

    Knowing what market (palate) the wine retailer or restaurant targets helps sales reps align their sales pitch to the needs of the establishment. Also, what are the potential for added marketing opportunities such as point of sale advertising or end of aisle displays? One sales rep always kept a duster with her, noticing that keeping her brands dust free kept the subtle appearance of a popular brand - after all wine end users like “testimonials” however quiet to help make buying decisions.

    ...and always ask for the sale!
