Industry Information: Beer The Canadian Beer industry consists of multiple types of product which include: ales, stouts and bitters,

low/no alcohol beer, premium lager, specialty beers and standard lagers (Beer in Canada, 7). Overall,

the last few years has been kind to the Canadian Beer industry as it has seen “total revenues of $11.6bn

in 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.4% between 2009 and 2013” (Beer in

Canada, 7). This trend is expected to continue within the following years where growth of the market is

expected to increase at an “accelerated rate… with an anticipated CAGR of 1.6% for the five year period

2013-2018 which is expected to drive the market to a value of $12.6bn by the end of 2008” (Beer in

Canada, 7). As of right now, the premium lager segment of the industry is out-performing other

segments with “total revenues of $4,5034m, equivalent to 38.8% of the markets overall value” (Beer in

Canada, 7). Currently, the beer industry is controlled by two major breweries which include: Anheuser-

Busch InBev leading with “44% market share” (Beer in Canada, 12), and Molson Coors Brewing Company

dominated by supermarkets which consist of “66.8%” (Beer in Canada, 13), of the respected market,

followed by On-trade which consists of “15.5%” (Beer in Canada, 13), of the market.

been lengthening its reach to other major countries which include China, United States, France, Spain,

Central Africa, and Canada (Heineken N.V, 6). Nearly two decades ago, Heineken initiated in a

monumental partnership with Molson Coors Canada in order to distribute Heineken labelled brand

Prospect Information – The Dock Ellis

NAICS Code: 722410 – Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages) (Primary), 722511 – Full Service

Eating Restaurant (Secondary) Named after a pitcher renown for throwing a no-hitter while under the effect of drugs, The Dock Ellis

was established in November, 2013 (The Dock Ellis). The Dock Ellis can be found within the heart of

downtown Toronto at Dundas St, and Dovercourt. Unlike most of its competition, The Dock Ellis attracts

a young professional business crowd interested in a vibrant and thrilling sporting experience (The Dock

Ellis). Completely different from its competition which provide more streamlined brands (Coors,

Canadian), The Dock Ellis provides local microbreweries which include: Amsterdam, Stonehammer

Pilsner, Beau’s Luc Tread, and Wellington ESB (The Dock Ellis). Despite that, The Dock Ellis has yet to

add a premium imported beer to its current drinks on tap. Furthermore, The Dock Ellis prefers to work

with specific vendors within the Toronto area (The Dock Ellis).

Competition – Beer Industry Company Company/Product Differentiation

SABmiller, Carlsberg, Diageo, Kirin Holdings Company LTD

In a field where it was become difficult to differentiate one beer brand to another, Heineken has used a unique approach to establish itself as the “world’s most International beer brand” (WARC). Heineken’s global campaign “Justifying a Premium the World Over” (warc), identifies Heineken as a beer for “men who know their way around” (WARC). Heineken, unlike its competition, places its consumers at the heart of a situation as a beer that involves every from of culture from around the world, and connects us through situations that we find awkward. By drinking a Heineken, consumers see themselves as a person who can adapt to any difficult situation, and confidently communicate with all forms of different culture. Heineken’s campaign demonstrates a “man who knows his way around” (WARC) through 3 videos: The Entrance, The Date, and The Express.

Step 2 – Prospecting

Prospecting Methods: Prospecting Method Prospect

Networking: Social Media/E-Prospecting Networking: Electronic Networking (online)

Source: Twitter Account/Instagram Prospect: Owner With the application of Social Media, it’s far more convenient to address a person through Twitter than through phone, mail, etc. Considering how frequently the owner updates their twitter/Instagram account, it’s more than likely the best way to contact them for an interview. The owner frequently identifies himself with all forms of culture when serving to his particular consumers. Heineken identifies itself as a brand that’s crosses borders, and connects with consumers on a personal level.

Networking: Noncompeting Salespeople Networking: Observation

Source: Frequent consumers, Friends of owner Prospect: Owner Frequently, consumers discuss their interest within having a premium imported beer on tap. They feel concerned that their friend (owner) has been unable to tap into products outside of

While they told me this, I realized they were concerned about not having premium imported brew on tap. I’d like to show you a product that could help you satisfy them, while giving your sports bar more options.”

Step 5 Addressing Concerns

Negotiation Worksheet: Customer Objection Type of Objection Technique to Answer Objection

“Well Travis Heineken does appear to be a decent product, however I feel the retail selling price of $250 per 50L comparatively to what Carlsberg offers at $210 per 50L is a bit too steep for what you have to offer.”

Price Indirect Denial

“You know in the past consumers haven’t showed or cared too much for the environment. I don’t see why would it would be necessary to have a beer that embraces changes within the environment; this really doesn’t make sense to me.”

Need Third Party Reinforcement

“Travis, I don’t understand how Heineken can make my consumers more responsible drinkers. What is it that Heineken provide to my consumers that we already don’t?

Product/Service Objection

Feel, Felt, Found

LAARC Dialogue:

Price Objection:

Listen + Acknowledge

I see what you’re saying Tom and I completely understand why you would believe that.

Assess:

Now based on what you’re telling me, you believe that Heineken beer is far too expensive for what it

can provide, is that correct?

Respond:

Tom I would like to show you why our beer is worth what you’re paying for. Here’s a sample I would like

to share with you, please have a taste of what Heineken has to offer. What you’re tasting right now

Tom is the product of Heineken’s most rigorous quality control. As you can see Tom from the brochure

that I have provided you, it gives you a listing of the natural ingredients and the strict quality control

that Heineken goes through. Heineken uses only the purest of waters when producing the beer and

uses only 100% natural ingredients, which includes using only female hops. Your clientele want to be

Page 13: Heineken Beer – Sales Report -   · PDF fileTRAVIS BEITLER 3 HEINEKEN BEER – SALES REPORT Sales Report – Heineken eer Overall Call Objective To introduce Heineken as

TRAVIS BEITLER 12

HEINEKEN BEER – SALES REPORT

able to choose from a premium imported beer on tap, which you currently do not have. This will lead to

more consumers purchasing your beer and creating higher revenue for The Dock Ellis.

Confirm:

Can you now see why Heineken beer would be a great brand for you to invest in?

Need Objection:

Listen + Acknowledge:

You’re bringing up a very valid concern Tom, and I can see why you would think that to be true.

Assess:

If I’m hearing you correctly, you believe consumers don’t really care for the environment correct? On a

scale of 1-10 Tom, how do you feel consumers would feel about the impact an industry or brand is

having on the environment?

Respond:

Let me explain why consumers care for the environment Tom. A recent study by Nielsen demonstrates

that 4 in 10 consumers prefer to purchase from a brand that cares for the environment. On top of that,

52% of the people stated that their purchase decisions depended on the packaging; they would check to

see if the brand they were buying from cared for the environment. That means Tom that you’re

potentially missing out on 52% of consumers who do care for the environment, that’s more than half of

the people that visit your establishment. If you purchase Heineken beer Tom, you’re showing your

clientele that you care for the environment. Please look at this infographic Tom, it demonstrates

Heineken’s overall plan to becoming more environmentally responsible which includes: 20% less CO2

emissions; 40% lower emissions in production; 50% lower emissions in cooling; and finally 20% less

traffic through our distribution chain. This will ultimately lead to more traffic and more profit for The

Dock Ellis.

Confirm:

Does this help you see the importance of how the environment ranks in your consumers minds?

Product/Service Objection:

Listen + Acknowledge

Tom I totally understand where you’re coming from and I know how you feel about our responsible

drinking program.

Assess:

There have been many other people who have felt the same way, they didn’t believe that Heineken as a

brand could help their establishments contribute to helping abolish abusive drinking. This is what you’re

concerned about Tom right? That you’re not sure if Heineken has a proper method to address abusive

drinking correct?

Respond:

Let me tell you that establishments found after embracing Heineken as a brand consumers

acknowledged that they don’t have to over indulge on drinking to enjoy a night out. In turn the

environment within their establishments became far healthier. From the Heineken video “The

Experiment”, we have shown that there has been an overall 9% increase from consumers who agree

Page 14: Heineken Beer – Sales Report -   · PDF fileTRAVIS BEITLER 3 HEINEKEN BEER – SALES REPORT Sales Report – Heineken eer Overall Call Objective To introduce Heineken as

TRAVIS BEITLER 13

HEINEKEN BEER – SALES REPORT

with the statement “If I drink less during a night out I enjoy more”. In this case study Tom you can see

that Heineken Beer provided servers the “Responsible Consumption in Beer” program. From 2005-2012,

Heineken beer trained 7,530 servers in over 17 different courses into the aspects of responsible beer

drinking. Training your employees through our “We Love Beer” ambassador program will help them

identify proper responsible drinking. People in general don’t like disruptive drinkers ruining their night

out and with the proper training to your servers Tom this means that you will have less abusive drinkers.

Ultimately this will eventually lead to more people visiting your establishment and more sales.

Confirm:

Does this help you see how Heineken can help your establishment prevent abusive drinking in the first

place?

Step 6 – Closing the Sale

Closing Worksheet: Closing Clue Closing Technique/Method Closing Statement: Ask for Order

“I didn’t realize Heineken had that high level of quality control, that’s impressive.”

Direct Commitment “Tom it’s been a real pleasure talking about the beer industry with you today. Heineken would love to have you as part of their business.

“You make a really good point, consumers do love to purchase brands that care for the environment. I would like to be seen as an establishment that cares for the environment.”

Summary Commitment “Tom I know how difficult this decision is to make, it involves a lot of information. To make your life easier, I’m going to go over the main ideas we’ve already discussed. We both agree that Heineken provides: an imported beer on tap that your consumers are desperately seeking; consumers overall concern of which beer is environmentally responsible; and finally, how much consumers care about having a great nigh out, while being able to drink in an abusive drinking free environment. Overall these benefits lead to increased traffic to your establishment, which in turn creates profit for The Dock Ellis. Do you feel that you’re ready to place an order with Heineken today?

Complete focus, eye contact, nervous free laughter, and general acceptance through nodding.

have on their taps, until they decided to purchase from us.

They’re ecstatic with us and our thrilled to continue business with us to this day. Do you think you’re ready to place an order with Heineken today?

concerns that you might be having at that time, does that sound good to you?

Thank you for your time Tom, it was a real pleasure meeting you and I look forward to doing more

business with you in the future. One last thing I would like to tell you before I leave Tom and this is from

everybody: “Welcome to the Heineken family”.

Step 7 – Expanding Customer Relations Right from the start, a strong relationship and collaboration will be built upon with great care.

Correspondence to customers will be done with every sale of Heineken 50L kegs. The point of this is to

make absolutely certain that the customer is happy with his order, and go over any concerns that he/she

might have. Also, any promotional campaigns by Heineken will be brought to the customer’s attention

as soon as possible. This is to make certain that the customer is kept up to date with all the campaigns

that Heineken has to offer, while giving them potential opportunities to receive possible discounts and

trade promotions. Heineken “We Love Beer” ambassador program, will be involved with The Dock Ellis

in order to train staff members in the concept of responsible drinking. Follow up calls and overall

supervision on my part to make certain that the program is working for The Dock Ellis, and listen to

feedback provided by servers/staff and manager. Finally offer up to date tracking on customer orders,

making certain the order arrives on time with the correct amount ordered, and the right product; listen

to any feedback that the customer may have, and suggest probable improvements to the distribution

process.
