#weekendreads : ⠀
Here are seven questions you should always ask international brands before you take them on.⠀
.⠀
1. What sales tools does the brand owner plan to use to gain traction in the US market?⠀
.⠀
2. What are the target price points for your brand?⠀
.⠀
3. Has the brand ever been in the U.S.? If so, where and how long ago was is sold here?⠀
.⠀
4. Does the brand have any success stories from their country or other export countries that would help the sell-in here in the U.S? How many cases did the brand sell last year?⠀
.⠀
5. Does the brand owner have a preference where the Importer is located--East Coast, West Coast, South, or Midwest?⠀
.⠀
6. Does the Brand Owner have any freight programs that would encourage importer/distributor participation?⠀
.⠀
7. Does the brand owner provide annual co-op marketing budgets/brand support for social media, in-store tastings, trade samples, sales incentives, merchandising, dealer loaders and price promotion?⠀

#insight Effective #selling strategies will help you grow your business. It is a measure on which your customer decides if they want to buy or not. Below are some effective sales strategies, do implement it! ⠀⠀
1) Know your product – Genuine information, content is always valued, your #salespitch itself gives an impact to the customer how well known you are with your product. Be well-read! ⠀⠀
2) ‘Action speaks louder than words’ – Hence, don’t just talk about the process, features or benefits of the product, show them. You can also keep tasters, which might be more effective in #sellingmethods. ⠀⠀
3) Know your decision maker – There are times when the buyer doesn’t come directly to you, he might send someone else, in such cases, put yourself into the head of a decision maker so that you can customize your sales pitch as per his interests even if he, himself is not there. ⠀⠀
4) Be authentic, be real – This will help develop buyer build trust on you. After all, integrity is worth it! ⠀⠀
5) Creating a sense of urgency – Convince them about your product and why is it important to buy it right now and not delay it further. ⠀
6) Overcoming objections is an art – Learn it, practice it – it will help you speed up your deal. ⠀⠀
7) Price competitively – Price does play a major factor while buying. Hence, keep your prices competitive.⠀
8) Follow-ups are important, do that!⠀
9) #Privatelabel strategy – #Wineries do offer the option of private-label, it helps initiate a relationship with the buyer⠀
10) Leverage Social media, #tradeshows, competitions and awards to increase your network.⠀

Here are the top 5 reasons you shouldn't miss this year's USA TRADE TASTING:⠀
⠀
1) Learn how to launch, market and grow your wine, beer or spirit brand in the USA market.⠀
⠀
2) Reduce your trial and error time: Why experiment with your branding when you can fast-track your time to success? The experts at this event will empower you to focus on what really works (and prove to others it works).⠀
⠀
3) Network with marketers just like you: Imagine connecting face-to-face with hundreds of people—just like you—as you share stories, gather ideas and build relationships that last for years.⠀
⠀
4) Meet the speakers. Attendees will learn first-hand from presentations and also have the unique opportunity to directly engage with new industry contacts.⠀
⠀
5) Get your ROI by getting great content. The right conferences not only allow you to meet smart, inspiring people, but also teach you a ton — especially in skills that make you a more well-rounded professional. USATT Conference is all about ‘How To Do It’. We are not going to discuss where the industry is going, what are the problems – instead, we are going to discuss how to make it happen and do it better.⠀
⠀
Aren't these reasons enough? Then read this .... It’s in New York City. What a great city. The people are friendly, with everything from burger joints to swish eateries with big-name chefs, and there’s also a thriving bar scene.⠀
