Barcardi-Martini. Enabling Better Customer Conversations Beyond the Slide Deck

Supporting More Relevant, Productive Sales Conversations

Bacardi-Martini is the world’s largest privately owned spirits company, with a portfolio of more than 60 brands spanning a wide range of categories and markets.

Its sales teams work with a highly diverse customer base — from bars and restaurants to clubs and hospitality groups — engaging with bartenders, managers and owners who each bring different priorities, challenges and levels of familiarity with the Bacardi portfolio.

Clarity in time-limited sales meetings

With limited time in customer meetings, Bacardi’s sales representatives needed a better way to move beyond static presentations and product lists, and instead focus on meaningful, two-way conversations.

The challenge wasn’t access to content, but how to use it effectively — enabling discussions around new brands, activations, menu opportunities and commercial challenges without overwhelming the customer or breaking the flow of conversation.

Enabling customer-led exploration through interaction

POPcomms supports Bacardi with an interactive sales experience designed to replace linear PowerPoint presentations with a more flexible, customer-centric approach.

The experience gives sales teams instant access to relevant content — including brand heritage, innovation, product ranges and cocktail recipes — allowing conversations to be guided by customer interest rather than a fixed narrative.

This approach helps:

  • tailor discussions to different customer types

  • adapt quickly within meetings

  • keep conversations flowing naturally

Making conversations more productive

By allowing sales representatives to navigate content dynamically, the interactive experience supports deeper, more relevant conversations — helping customers focus on what matters most to their business.

The sales tool POPcomms created helps our Customer Account Managers to have much more efficient meetings. The customer journey is polished, allowing them to navigate and tailor the vast amount of content quickly and easily, so conversations continue to flow naturally and are more productive.

Why this matters

For Bacardi-Martini, effective selling is about understanding customer challenges, not just presenting products.

By replacing static presentations with interactive sales experiences, Bacardi enables:

  • clearer communication across a diverse customer base

  • more engaging, tailored customer meetings

  • stronger alignment between brand storytelling and real customer needs

POPcomms’ interactive sales experiences help Bacardi’s teams turn limited meeting time into confident, value-driven conversations.

Take-up of a new platform can often be a challenge, even if it ticks every box. It’s so important to get the sales team involved in the development of the sales tool from the very beginning in order to get 100% adoption. POP ran an initial workshop for some of the sales team to offer their insights and requirements.
