Selling into Italy
Build a bars and pubs list first
Bars and pubs weigh more in Italy than elsewhere; give them their own list and pitch.
Plan dense routes
Italy has more outlets per resident than most markets, so a rep can cover many doors in a day.
Win owners one by one
With 98% of outlets run independently, the buying decision in Italy sits with the owner on site, so coverage comes from visits rather than head-office deals.
