Make drinks service reliable and unobtrusive so buyers can concentrate on the product and conversation. Keep the bar easy to approach, the selected serves clear and any product explanation limited to the information the brand has approved.
Let the commercial team lead the discussion
Agree tasting or serving moments around appointments, presentations and demonstrations. Brief the team on stock, glassware and the correct preparation, without expecting bartenders to replace sales representatives.
Avoid positioning the ordering area across the meeting or display route. If buyers need a particular sample or comparison, specify the handover and timing. Reporting and photography can support the event when commissioned, but anonymous serve counts do not establish which buyer intends to place an order.
- Keep product-selling duties with the designated commercial team.
- Plan service around the conversations and demonstrations that matter.
