Background

About Gregory Kraus

State territory manager for Georgia, North Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Job duties include managing spirit sales with multiple distributors in the Southeastern U.S. I have monthly goals, quarterly goals, and yearly goals, in order to achieve them I have to manage my business with the distributor support I have in the surrounding states. In order to achieving goals and setting standards for Western Son vodka, I have to make sure pricing is correct, adjacency to competition, inventory on hand is accurate, and partnership with distributors are all working together for one team and one dream. I travel to meet with each of these distributors to work all markets to make sure we are diligently using every tool we have in order to be successful. Job is heavily focused on OP accounts along with Independent stores. I’ve worked in the alcohol/non alcohol business for the past 17 years with 16 of them working with wine for a distributor in Atlanta GA, and now approaching 1 year on the spirit side as a supplier.
