Clips From KEXY Sales Calls
READ EXPRESSES FRUSTRATION WITH THE CURRENT LIQUOR SYSTEM
Read appreciates that KEXY has identified and solved a huge gap in the industry, while expressing his frustrations about it.
EXPLAINING WHY IT'S SO HARD FOR SMALLER BRANDS TO COMPETE
Hiring sales reps nationwide is expensive, slow, and not scalable. The supplier is looking for more cost effective ways to compete with the larger suppliers like Diageo.
Peter said his brand was more successful selling on their own
Some of the challenges included, not have a spirits specialist. It was hard getting anyone focused because distributors are always on incentives from the bigger brands. He tried so hard to make the margins work, but he couldn't. This is a constant struggle for liquor brand owners.
Discusses the numerous challenges of working with distributors
Suppliers are constantly frustrated working with distributors. Various pain points include the ordering and pricing structure, as well as the lack of human capital (resources to properly service accounts).
Peter discusses his poor experiences with distributors
Peter has used different distributors in the United States, as well as other countries, and none of his experiences were without challenges and heartache.
The three-tier distribution model just tortures us
Ken states that he sees a lot of potential with KEXY. Sarah mentions that as a supplier, you can get a sale done and then lose the sale with the distributor. Things get lost in translation and it is impossible to follow up on every single account unless you have a database like KEXY, which would be so very helpful.
KEXY platform can lessen liquor sample wastage
At the moment, there is no way in which samples can be tracked and how they are being used by reps. KEXY can help suppliers by running campaigns with distributors.
Distributors do NOT have the desire to support and grow brands
Due to the consolidation within the market, distributors do not have the bandwidth to support or grow small brands.
THE ALCOHOL SYSTEM IS OUTDATED AND KEXY IS DEFINITELY NEEDED
Dylan and Mike express how much they love KEXY. With the outdated alcohol system, it's technologies like KEXY that will change the industry for the better.
Peter feels he wastes UNNECESSARY additional expenses on reps
Having to give up 28% - 32% margins to the distributors, plus the additional unknown costs adds weighted pressure on their internal sales strategies. Peter got so sick of having to approve $4 cups of coffee for a rep to stand in front of a liquor store to sell a bottle.
