Article Abstract:
Liquor companies are enlisting the services of bar staff in selling their products, especially beer. Bar staff are the best sales personnel, according to Paul Meehan, brand development manager for Guinness Imports of Toronto. One of them is Sarah Byford, bartender and waitress at the Old Spot Pub in Toronto, who urges patrons to try a new beverage.
