If you’re a former consultant or one of my customers, I’m all for your buying wine from wherever you like. It’s awesome to try other peoples’ wines. We WineShop consultants often joke that the wine we buy is a tax deduction as -ahem- research for our industry so, of course, we tend to buy a lot of wine (that’s a joke, people! Check with your accountant before taking tax advice from your friendly neighborhood wine lady).
Even if you’ve decided that the business doesn’t work for you, that doesn’t mean you have to stop buying from WineShop. When you buy from a WineShop consultant, you’re supporting a small business run by someone just like you who’s trying to put their kid through college, or save up to purchase their first house. These are real people!
Buy Your Wine from Real People
With WineShop, you always know who you’re buying from. You know your consultant. Our wines are Artisan and handcrafted, not made by a computer that’s programmed to add things to it at just the right time.
WineShop isn’t Gallo or BevMo. We’re a small business. We don’t have big stores or huge distribution networks. Real people run our customer service desks and our warehouses. Real people take your orders. My son was with his tutor one day and she asked him, “What does your mom do for work?” He told her, “She teaches people about wine so that I can have toys!”
We Know Why You Joined
And I mean that in the least creepy way possible. You joined WineShop because you love wine, and even if you ultimately decide that selling isn’t for you, you can still drink our great wine. Buy it from yourself and earn your commission back. Buy a case a month or a case a quarter to keep your membership active!
When you decide to leave the business, other consultants will often hesitate to call you because they don’t want to appear pushy. We know you might have left the business for a reason so when you call us to place an order, it means something and we really appreciate the support.
We Love Making You Happy with Our Wine
We know that you could go to a discount wine shop or buy your bottles at Target so when our phone rings and it’s you on the other end calling to order our wine, we’re really excited to get your call.
WineShop employees and consultants are passionate about what they do. When you choose to spend a little more money by purchasing through me, I’m so grateful. I like to think that I’m returning the favor with great wine and excellent service.
