Healdsburg CA: Bottleneck LLC announced the launch of their commercial growth advising service today. The mission of the company is to enhance the value of the 3-tier system for wine and spirits suppliers as well as distributors. The services will promote industry competition, efficiency, and ultimately increase product choice for U.S. consumers, a key to future industry growth.
“Over time we have seen an evolution that gives clear advantage to the larger producers. With increased consolidation of the Distributor and Retail tiers, there is a need to help smaller companies compete in the market through collaborative planning and results-oriented solutions that enable them to better control their destiny”, said Joe Rance.
Some of the Services Offered:
- Sales Strategy & Process
- Organizational Design
- Go-to-Market Strategies including Partner Selection
- Annual Operating Plan Development
- Channel and Account Strategy
- Price Strategy, Tactics, Modeling, & Compliance
- Distribution Analytics & Insights

- Talent Acquisition and Training
Bottleneck believes that consistent and efficient ways of working between Suppliers and Distributors is critical to achieving desired business outcomes. “Distributors react favorably to suppliers that are efficient, informed, and value-add. By optimizing the route-to-market, Suppliers and Distributors can free up resources which can be re-invested to drive the brands”, said Joel Janulewicz.
