Selling into Brazil
Do not size for cafes and coffee shops
Cafes and coffee shops are a smaller part of Brazil than elsewhere; plan the pitch around the outlet types that lead here.
Win owners one by one
With 98% of outlets run independently, the buying decision in Brazil sits with the owner on site, so coverage comes from visits rather than head-office deals.
Qualify in person
Only 25% of outlets in Brazil list a website, so expect to find and qualify venues on the street rather than online.
