To kick off 2016, the Kinnek team has been meeting a variety of small business owners and suppliers at events across the country including the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, CiderCon and our Small Business Social in Portland and the Hotel, Motel & Restaurant Supply Show of the Southeast in Myrtle Beach.
Last week, Kinnek was lucky enough to join hundreds of makers at the Craft Beverages Unlimited Midwest conference. Catering to craft brewers, winemakers and distillers, CBU Midwest featured a variety of workshops and vendors specializing in the small business sector.
As an online purchasing platform that’s disrupting the existing marketplace Kinnek is in a unique - and new - position. That means many of the challenges our Customer Success Team seeks to overcome stem from a misconception of how we operate. Getting lots of custom quotes from suppliers, free of charge and with no long-winded communication or leg-work is a new thing for our customers.
