Appointment Setter for a Canadian Wine Agency (Hospitality Clients)

About us
Carpa Vino is an independent wine agency in British Columbia, Canada. We import wines from Chile, Portugal, Austria and Burgundy that aren't sold in stores, and we help independent restaurants build wine lists that make money. The owner, Trina, meets every client in person.

The role
You open the door. Trina does the rest.

You research, qualify, book, confirm and follow up. Trina pitches, pours, prices and closes. You never sell wine or discuss pricing. Your job is to put Trina in front of the right person at the right restaurant.

What you'll do

Research independent hospitality venues (restaurants, hotels, clubs, etc.,) in target areas: owner or manager name, seating size, wine list, opening hours, social handles

Call venues to find the person in charge of the wine list

Book 15-minute tastings on Monday afternoons, grouped by area

Invite operators to the free trade series, Inside 50 Wine Programs

Send confirmation email s and sign-up links after each call
