Section 1: Why Become a Guinness Distributor

There are two major reasons why a person would choose to become a distributor.

The first reason is simply to gain more sales! The ideal benefit to gain from becoming a distributor is to be able to sell Guinness anywhere, at any time. The more you make, the more Guinness you can stock. More customers means more sales and more sales means more money.

The second reason why you may want to become a distributor is to have the pride of being a Guinness Distributor. Being a distributor has many advantages as well. You will be able to network with the best in the industry. You will also be able to share Guinness and be introduced to people who will be able to help you take your business to the next level. You will be able to travel and learn about other cultures.

What’s Required Of a Distributor

The eligibility requirement for Guinness distributors is pretty straightforward. The most important thing is that you must be a genuine person with genuine business interests. If you’ve been saving up a half-year’s salary for a car or a mortgage, or are in a leadership position in a school, or you’ve been busy teaching in a hospital, then you’re probably not ready for a Guinness distribution role.

Instead, it’s best to work for Guinness as an independent contractor, or to work within a larger company.

Many distributors work alone, with a handful of partners, but others will be part of a distributor network. Many retailers and restaurants will have their own teams of distributors, but there are more corporate customers for Guinness distributors.

The Steps To Becoming a Guinness Distributor
Before you can become a distributor, you need to have a professional NIP, C-class license. To obtain a C-class license you must meet certain criteria such as having $2000 minimum sales, a minimum of three years’ experience, and good performance. Most distributors receive training in their area of choice.

You will need to submit your first three months of sales for review and approval. Once approved, you can apply to become a distributor.

Guinness does a thorough background check on all of their distributors. This is to make sure that they are reliable and qualified to serve customers. Once you’ve passed your background check, you’ll be sent an appointment to meet with a manager of the local store.

Conclusion

While you may think that being a distributor sounds like it’s all about sales, it’s not. You’ll still need to deliver exceptional service and commitment, and have a sound system in place to ensure you’re ready to accept all incoming calls. It’s important to note that being a distributor will also help boost your overall career and development. It could be a great place to start to break into the beer distribution business!
