It's critical to understand that in the crowded and competitive world of beverage distribution, your track record speaks volumes. Demonstrating reliability and success isn't just about boasting past achievements; it's about building trust and showcasing your ability to deliver consistent results to potential partners. Why is this so crucial? In an industry teeming with options, the challenge for distributors and retailers is to identify genuinely capable and dependable partners. My near-decade experience in distribution has shown me the difficulty of distinguishing potential winners from the rest, akin to the high-stakes decisions of NFL draft picks. The clearer and more substantiated your value proposition, the more you stand out as a desirable partner, proving your brand as a 'first-round pick' in the distribution draft. As the number of brands vying for attention escalates, illustrating your success and aligning with the right partners becomes not just beneficial but essential for sustained growth. Failure to do so risks obscurity in an ever-expanding market. Is your brand poised to affirm its success and resonate with the ideal partners? Connect with Five Star Beverage. Let's navigate this dynamic landscape to build a legacy of reliability and market triumph together. #TrackRecord #BusinessPartnership #FiveStarBeverage #SuccessStories #MarketImpact #FiveStarStrategy

It is with great pleasure that CCA Global Partners spotlights another one of our influential leaders within ProSource Wholesale, Vice President, Product & Merchandising, Neal Ross! Since joining ProSource Wholesale for its unique business model over 18 years ago, Neal suggests that adaptability is the most important trait in those who build success, explaining, "Market, societal, and industry changes have been extreme over the last five years and those people that have adapted best to those changes have come out on top." In addition to his everyday tasks & adventures in merchandising, Neal touches upon something his team does that most people don't guess, revealing, "Our team is hands-on. Literally. When convention time comes around, everyone's hands get dirty and that can include installing flooring, building walls, or anything that needs to get done to create the envisioned convention experience for our franchisees." ProSource recently wrapped up another successful annual convention in January. Outside of work, Neal I'm is an avid generalist; enjoying much of everything. "You'll find me at live music, on the golf course, hiking trails, traveling, and spending time with family. I also like to seek out new places to eat & drink with an emphasis on the three B's: Barbecue, Bakeries, and Beer." #TheCCAWay #ProSource #franchise #employeespotlight #leadership #leader #merchandising #product #VP #inspiration #spotlight

💡 "The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do." - Michael Porter. Had a fantastic time at the Food4Thought event on "The Power of Vision and a Business Plan” with keynote speaker Markus Koch, Growth Strategist, Board Chair, and Director of ASX listed companies. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 🎯 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀: Be specific, measurable, and aspirational. Strategy is the pathway to achieve them. 🛤️ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆: Differentiation is key! Have a clear point of differentiation. 🛒 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲: Inspired by ALDI SÜD's "good different" strategy. Special buys and cost efficiency set them apart. Shoutout to Sean Sacher, Group Managing Director at ALDI - from our law grad days at Allens, who knew I'd be writing about ALDI now? 🔍 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 is crucial. During Markus' tenure as Chair and CEO of Daniels Health, they uncovered valuable consumer insights. For example, consumers purchased syringe disposal bins for aesthetics, not just safety. I've seen this firsthand while interior decorating my husband's dental practice! Great to catch up with Yak Yong Quek, Founder and CEO of Prime Value Asset Management, and John Sikkema, Chair of Prime Value, at Prime Value's offices sponsoring the event. Kudos to Markus Koch and Stephanie Woollard OAM, National Director of Engagement for F4T, for organising such an enlightening event! #Strategy #Vision #BusinessPlan #Differentiation #Innovation

It was a great pleasure to attend the social function of Food4T. I have such valuable insights not only learning a Business Strategy but also the spiritual story. Thanks Belinda Loke for the invitation and it was a great pleasure to meet Food4Thought Representatives especially Stephanie Woollard OAM and John Sikkema. Also to learn the Strategy Business Plan from Markus Koch. My take away is to focus on 5-year-plan. This is my first journey to inspire and add value to people, especially for Women in the Construction Industry, particularly the Women of Colour (the Minority of Minority). My mission is to empower women to bring out their greatest potential that is still hidden. According to the research, human in general, we only use 10% of our potential. What would happen if we could maximise our potential to reach 90%, the world would become a better place. One of human's greatest enemies is to focus on money instead of people. If we focus on people's potential, everybody will be prosperous. So My mission is to change the people's mindset from fixed and limited mindsets to abundant mindset. May Their Kindness in Helping Others will receive abundant blessings. With Gratitude and Blessings Yuliana (the Positive Culture Community)

Domino’s did this brilliant marketing strategy to stand out in the pizza market. They found the answer to this one question,” How do I create a brand in this cluttered market?” The answer was that whatever results your competitors are promising, you just make it faster. That's what Domino's did. We have all seen one of the greatest Domino's strategies "Get your pizza in 30 minutes of placing your order, or it would be free." A strategy that helped them be the category leaders, even today when we think of pizza in 30 minutes, we think of Domino's first. P.S. Which other brands are category leaders? Tell me in the comments! #marketing #marketinganalysis #branding #brandingexpert

The Auxis QSR webinar today threw up some interesting insights: 90% of the respondents said their frontline store associates and brand’s idea of excellence is not the same! This was the response even with almost 50% of the respondents visiting their stores more than 5 times a year. Today, #restaurantbrands aiming to provide consistently good #customerexperiences and improve store-level performance need to be able to visit their stores more frequently, review store performance and give constructive feedback together, and execute coaching for store managers consistently and with empathy.
