Day 60 - The First Sale

After a few exhausting weeks of walking the streets of downtown, making cold calls and countless emails I was able to schedule a follow up meeting with a bar owner who I had met with previously and had already purchased a “system”. It became quite clear to the owner that the system had several limitations and was not going to be the solution. The system that monitors pouring did not monitor the stock room and the possibility of full bottles going out the door......but BEVINCO does! That fact alone and the thought of having a reliable third party performing the audits on a timely basis made BEVINCO the easy choice. Although I didn’t get the opportunity to really give my presentation, or use some of the approaches I observed in a new sales training video or the advice of my good friend Tom Hopkins (author of “Selling for Dummies”)......I look forward to my next opportunity where I can give them a shot.
