PlaceCraft

SALES SYSTEMS FOR WINERIES

More tastings with the venues and bottle shops you want to be in.

PlaceCraft builds your sales system or runs your outreach and books tasting appointments. You pour, close deals, and keep the relationship.

Or take the 3-minute sales audit

Built by a winemaker with over $3 million of wine sold.

We are now in a relationships economy

The world is growing increasingly not real. This has left wine drinkers craving real experiences.

You create something that is deeply real. Something that has a story.

The closer you can get your story to the people who drink your wine, the more powerful your story will become.

I built PlaceCraft because I believe that winemakers are the best placed people to tell their own stories.

Great wine doesn't sell itself.

Most wineries win accounts through whoever the winemaker happens to know. Getting new accounts is hard work. Prospecting takes hours you don't have: finding the right venues, working out who buys, writing emails, following up five times. So it doesn't happen, and the wine stays in the shed. But it doesn't have to be that way. Install a system and grow your business.

How PlaceCraft works

01

We map your market

Venues and bottle shops in a target area that suit your wine style and price point.

02

We build your sales systems

Personalised agents, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, email templates and training.

03

We book the tastings

With Territory Growth and Territory Accelerator, interested buyers go straight into your calendar, with a briefing on each venue.

04

You pour and close

You do the part only a winemaker can. Every lead is tracked in a shared pipeline. You own the relationship.

BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE

Built by a winemaker, tested on my own wine

I'm Alex, the winemaker behind Alexander Direen, Little Brunswick, and Tidy Town. I've sold over $3 million of wine, and I built PlaceCraft because I had the same problem you do: great wine and no time to sell it.

Every part of the system was built and tested selling my own wine into restaurants and bottle shops first.

You own the relationship.

Questions

Do I need a distributor?
No. PlaceCraft works whether you sell direct or alongside a distributor.
Do I have to attend the tastings?

Which areas do you cover?
Australia and New Zealand.
What does it cost?
Campaigns start at $500. See what each one includes.
