Services

The Key to our wine consulting is an open, collaborative dialogue with all stakeholders engaged in the process.

Our Services

Each project begins with a brief, specific agreement on the action items and work to be executed together on behalf of your business. Our approach is often phased, with particular timelines or milestones to guide the process. We believe that changes – large and small – are often required of all participants, from production to marketing to sales. We want our solutions to be sustainable and long-term.

“I felt my situation was unique to my brand, but now realize it is common in the wine sales world; I had an established distribution network for many years that was not moving the needle required to grow and thrive in an increasingly competitive market. As distributors are requiring more of suppliers: partnering, brand differentiation and messaging are key. LWC is adept at distilling the information to define the message with clarity and conveying it to all parties along the distribution chain. We have seen distribution grow in the most challenging of times through consistent and persistent communication with our partners, while sticking to the fundamentals of salesmanship. With LWC’s deep and nuanced understanding of the intricacies of the wine market we have provided tools and messaging that facilitate sales efforts with our distribution partners, resulting in a mutually beneficial relationship, with easily accountable results. This approach has made Titus a rapidly growing priority for most of our distributor partners.” - ERIC TITUS, TITUS VINEYARDS
