When I was in high school I worked for a local Amish deli that had a wine section of the store.\u00a0 Although I wasn’t old enough to know or drink wine I was still often tasked with selling the wine to people and helping them find what wine they enjoyed the most.\u00a0 Over time I noticed that , with wine specifically but also with all sales, knowing your competitors product is incredibly important to creating a good sales relationship.\u00a0 When it came to wine most people don’t have enough wine tasting abilities to give a detailed description of the flavor pallet that they hope to experience when drinking wine.\u00a0 However, what they do know is the name of a generic wine that they like and or don’t like.\u00a0 If they tell me that they really like a cab sav, I am not going to hand them a sweet white and tell them they’ll love it.\u00a0 Hearing the customers previous experiences isn’t helpful if you don’t know the characteristics of the things they’ve had or used in the past.\u00a0 Knowing the pain or pleasure that they have had in the past will help you create a situation best suited for them.\u00a0 After I noticed this and started to do the research on main stream wines I was able to quickly get people wine that they liked and came back for.\u00a0 This helped my selling ability tremendously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
