We're starting to ramp up our sales program and need to get more boots on the ground. Curious what some other distilleries/brands experience has been with compensation structures for sales managers and brand ambassadors. What's worked well? What hasn't? What's the relationship been like between in-house sales staff and distributor's sales force? How much should we really be budgeting for sales force compensation?

We're planning an amazing craft alcohol exploration event for a non-profit animal rescue's fundraising gala and I still have a couple of spots open for craft producers to join us. Think of it like one of those big craft spirits festivals EXCEPT it's an audience small enough to actually talk to and convert and sell your brand to. With minimal competition since we're only having 8 distillers max. We're also programming content to actually force consumer learning and engagement throughout the night so it's almost impossible for someone to just come up take a sample and walk away. While this is a bigger event than usual we do events like this quite often - so if you're in the Bay Area and want opportunities (like a couple at The Palace Hotel!) to get in front of captive consumers who are pre-selected to be interested in craft alcohol leave your details below or email me at suzanne@thecraftycask.com. There's never any fee to particpate for distillers - just the cost of your own samples and time in return for brand building awareness and increased category interest. -
My Name is Shannon Jackson and I am currently the Public Relations Manager for the Black Bear Distillery. I have been with the Black Bear since it opened in 2014 and have played many roles leading up to my current position of Public Relations Manager. My duties include scheduling tastings and tours, maintaining social media sites, preparing Press packets, as well as handling all event and media relations and planning. My past experience in the craft spirit world would include personal trips and tastings, then a job in sales developing new clients and taking care of their orders, and then brand ambassador which added events and social media to the list. For the most part, I still assist with those roles. My success in this arena led to a more statewide presence and eventually the role of Social Media Ambassador at the ADI Conference that will be held next March in Denver. I have a huge passion for Craft Spirits and try to absorb all the knowledge I can. I am reaching out to see if I can assist you on any level with any of my skills. Please contact me at Jacksonshannon82@live.com

The alcohol beverage market is a closed system. In the US what this means is that that ~136.8 million people account for the ~211.6 billion dollars in alcoholic beverage sales each year. It is important to note that this number of drinkers has remained essentially unchanged for over 40 years, despite an onslaught of alcohol advertising. What that means if you are an alcohol beverage producer is this - you are stealing your customers from somewhere. The question is where. Now here, there are a number of options. If you are producer in a certain category, perhaps you are winning over some drinkers from another category - say beer to wine, or vodka to gin. But the switch we are most interested in is this one - commodity to craft. Surprising as this may seem to some, the person who determines what somebody is going to buy isn’t the guy who made it, or some marketing exec, or social media influencer, brand ambassador, bartender or distributor. The person who determines what alcoholic beverage they are going to ask for is, guess what, the consumer. So, in a closed system where success is measured by winning a consumer from someone else’s product over to your own, it comes down to one thing. The value proposition. One such value proposition is simple and straightforward - price. The top 10% of drinkers, or 14 million people, account for almost 75% of all alcohol consumption. They only care about one thing, and that is cost. If you are a craft producer, forget these people. They are not your customers. That leaves you 25% of the drinkers to fight over. Right now, craft spirits account for 3.8% of market. That means there are 21.2% more commodity drinkers available for you to win over to craft. In that conversation, what is your value proposition? If it’s that you make great spirits, then you are missing the point. All your competitors make great spirits, even the commodity ones. Especially the commodity ones. They make better spirits and a larger variety of expressions too. You can’t win anyone over with that value proposition, because they can make them cheaper too. Your value proposition is that you are craft. And micro. And local. These are all qualifiers that set you apart. They are conditional terms a consumer can use when asking for a product, and they simply cannot be met by a commodity brand. If we can get 1% more people asking for craft at the bar, restaurant, and liquor store, that is 1% more sales for every craft producer in the market. How do we do that? Through content marketing that communicates the value proposition of craft. -
You are a total spirits sales badass. You're a strategist, with experience moving selling at a national level in closed and open states. You're comfortable managing a team and want to help a brand go from moderate sales to over the moon sales, without sacrificing values. You've had some great learning opportunities in the past but perhaps haven't found the company that allows you to spread your wings the way you want to. You also like floating rivers, making time for shenanigans and know that the best way to live a life is to create that balance between working hard and playing hard. We're a distillery with great products, a great production team, an excellent team of sales personnel and an ability to produce our own distilled products on a high volume basis. We're the largest distillery in the great State of Montana and we're looking to grow the success we've seen here and in other markets. We're looking for someone who wants to live in Montana, manage the sales and marketing objectives and grow our sales with strong attention to strategy development as well as execution. Someone who understands the balance between quality relationships and quantity of cases moved. This isn't a seat of the pants kind of operation. This is a darn fine business with a history of success. If we align on values: community, passion for Montana and the belief that a rising tide lifts all ships, then you should reach out to us about the opportunity to align forces. The position will be open until it's filled. Compensation will be part salary, part commission, DOE. Medical Insurance, PTO, 401(k) and more.

Hello, We have our own sales team and currently we're writing out invoices by hand. We have Quickbooks Desktop currently that we use to make our invoices after the fact. It's way too messy and inefficient, especially since we're trying to get sales people throughout the state. Does anyone know of a good sales software that can be used on an ipad that will sync with QB desktop? Thanks! Mike

Hi All, I'm in the process of building a business plan. I'm struggling to find hard numbers on industry overview specifics. Key items that would be useful: - Annual sales growth trends. - Craft spirit segment growth for Vodka, Rum, Whiskey, etc. - Craft spirit market pricing. - Overall craft spirit sales. - Regional growths. - Any other industry overview information that may be useful in a business plan. Is there a resource on ADI or else where that would can provide this data? Thanks for the help! ~Freshie

A lot has changed in the 7 years we have been doing training. One of the most interesting is how the market has changed. We used to have people attend that intended to make the spirit they like to drink and then sell it. That is not the case now. Even in other industries in the US; the make it and then go sell it has changed. Now more than ever targeting your customer base is important and recognizing those changes too. Take Millennials, They can order everything off the phone. They demand things Boomers never would think of. This includes the booze they drink. Take a look at our blog post Millennials Move Market Cheers, Deanna
