Outlets are spread out: the 2 largest metro areas hold 20% together, so most outlets sit outside the big cities.
Selling into Greece
Plan dense routes
Greece has more outlets per resident than most markets, so a rep can cover many doors in a day.
Build a cafes and coffee shops list first
Cafes and coffee shops weigh more in Greece than elsewhere; give them their own list and pitch.
Win owners one by one
With 97% of outlets run independently, the buying decision in Greece sits with the owner on site, so coverage comes from visits rather than head-office deals.
