GreatVines National Account Management Charts

Maximize opportunities with National and Chain Accounts by eliminating the disconnect between authorizations negotiated at the HQ level and their successful execution at the local outlet level.

Plan

Establish quarterly or annual goals for each national account, manage distribution and programming under an umbrella authorization, and measure against sales to retail to ensure goals are being met. Our solution also allows you to identify and flag underperforming authorizations for follow-up and bring all accounts into compliance.

Collaborate

Use our solution’s program announcement feature to foster improved communications with distributors and customers. Send emails directly to distributor partners, to keep them looped in on placements and other relevant reports, ensuring distributor partners’ compliance with authorizations.

Monitor

Gain insight into each account relationship you manage on a national level. GreatVines’ solution is perfect for managing chains, multi-unit stores, and on-premise national accounts, and lets sales teams monitor performance against authorizations and promotions. This visibility into activity and performance scorecards ensures effective sales execution.

Manage

Tie your authorizations back to depletions data (RAD/STR) to ensure all mandated placements have occurred in each outlet. Our solution provides exception reporting, flagging non-compliance so that sales teams can hold accounts and distributors to agreed-upon distribution and promotions.
