Another week flys by
I'm not quite sure what happened to this week. One minute it was Monday the next it was Friday.
After the initial success of our cold calling on pubs and bars, this week we decided to start looking at other ways we can get some real momentum going. This meant a few days back in the office putting potential proposals together for the big breweries and pub groups.
After a couple of days of staring at the computer it was welcome relief on Thursday to be back out there selling which resulted in another 4 venues:
Market Place - Just off the Kings road
The Durell - Fulham Road
Fest Bar - Fulham Road
Nolans Freehouse - SW8
As you can see we are starting to get a good spread across south London, but we know that we need even more than this if things are really going to take off. And as luck would have it that is exactly what we got on Friday.
My girlfriend, Jenny, was up in Liverpool for a wedding and was dropping off a couple of cases to her Dad for us. His business partner was with him at the time and asked how things were going. When Jenny told him that we were looking to approach some of the breweries he piped up 'I know someone whose been in the industry for years and sells to all the major brewers do you want us to see if he's interested in having a meeting?'
To cut a long story short Rupert and I are heading up to Liverpool this afternoon for a 10.30am meeting with this guy tomorrow morning!
So next week is shaping up to be another very interesting one. That's if Rupert ever gets here to pick me up. He's currently an hour late. But it's meant I've had time to write this and see the end of the open. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon...
