Practical B2B prospecting advice for Xantar 2026
Tailor your prospecting to the Xantar profile to turn contacts into business:
- Segment targets by territory and offering. Spain, Portugal and Latin America have an active presence. Define which markets and buyer types matter to you.
- Prepare tasting formats. With showcookings and a Wine Tunnel, bring technical sheets and ready-to-serve tasting sets.
- Offer hospitality packages. Present volume pricing, logistics terms and menu proposals adapted to restaurants and tapas areas.
- Schedule short demonstrations. Classrooms and tastings favor 20 to 40 minute slots. Create a concise demo pitch that leads to follow-up meetings.
- Book meetings in advance. Reach out to exhibitors and buyers before the fair and confirm demo times.
- Use the train promotion to invite buyers from other regions. The Renfe discount lowers travel friction for potential clients.
