This one's for the industry people!I first came across Chris on LinkedIn, where he posts short, GOLD pieces of advice almost every day for small brands looking to grow and scale sustainably in bars and restaurants, building on his decades-long experience of doing just that across Europe, from his native Italy to the Czech Republic, where he now lives. Over a Pilsner  Urquell or two we covered a bunch of topics, including: - Why a beer mentality can help sell spirits - Why decanters on TV only mean they couldn't find a liquor sponsor - How brands need to move from their historical consumption occasion to a new one via cocktails - Why your first job is to turn your brand proposition into a commercial proposition - Why its better to sell 3 bottles with a staff tasting as opposed to 10 cases without one - Why JRR Tolkien did occasionally phone it in. Chris has a great newsletter you can sign up for at his website below, his podcast is well worth a follow and so is he, especially on LinkedIn.
