Haha! if you go in there lookin goobery, I laughed for 15 minutes. Bens right, if you telegraph a lack of confidence you will not sell yourself or your business. BELEIVE in yourself and what you're doing. You da man Ben! I have called everyone and then went in person and it wasn't until I got in people's faces that I was able to set-up at their location. and the ones i couldn't get into at all, I came back with left over dogs and gave it to the owners/managers for free and got the location. It took a couple fund raisers at tractor supply and one day when getting propane, the store manager approached me and said" you can set-up here anytime you want. So, also if you want to take the extra step of developing relationships with these folks, eventually, I get the place.
The Maestro. This is an updated version of the classic video script which was so valuable in helping me line up accounts. Thanks again Ben for the motivational info.
Mr Ben, I’ve watched what I think is all of your vids, I’m so grateful for how much you share. One thing I haven’t heard is how you ask for a location someone else is in. For instance, if someone is there on Thursday and Saturday, should I first talk to the owner or the vendor?
Thank you Ben for all the help you have given me. This right here was the icing on the cake. Tomorrow I have my health inspector coming to inspect my cart at the commissary and then I’m off to the races, So I can have that fishing freedom lol. Wish me luck and soon I will be on one of your Monday night shows.
Hot Dog Cart Store well I pass the inspection woo whoo now Im here looking on google for some spots where I can vend and thinking of a spew to sell myself so I can get started so excited
Hot Dog Cart Store lol are you spying on me Ben? I’m already there. Doing my due diligence. Lol I’m going to hit up the farmers markets and some used tire spots also.
Hi Big Ben. Hi. I'm still not where I should be with the Hot Dog Business. Need more organization. Are there forms I could use so I can easily check off sales (dogs, chips, soda, combos?) while selling dogs? My record keeping is BAD!!! Any sheets where you can mark things, certain items off,? Still having probs using my smart phone for credit card sales.
so would you recommend to someone just starting out to try and get as many different locations as possible? so as to find which ones are going to be most profitable?
I'd start with about 3 and keep records and days and times and then narrow it down while testing new ones. learnhotdogs.com/why-arent-you-keeping-records/
Hello my name is V Woods and I'm a beginner vendor / caterer / lemonade stand and my question to you is by listening to your video on UA-cam you said buying 22 carts was dumb and I want to know why?🐢
Because I had no clue how to manage all that. Eventually I figured it all out and made a course. Then about a year ago... updated the course. learnhotdogs.com/expand
Not in every case no. Once they say that, I take it as a no and move on, even asking someone else in the string of properties there. Say it's a strip center, with multiple businesses. I'd ask the main one first and then move to the secondary smaller businesses if necessary.
Hi Ben, thanks again for a great video! You mention a state license, my question to you, is do we actually need one if we are just going to do weekend events? Or is it possible to operate off of the events license? Thanks!

Het Ben doesnt this have to go threw the property management?
Not in every case no. Once they say that, I take it as a no and move on, even asking someone else in the string of properties there. Say it's a strip center, with multiple businesses. I'd ask the main one first and then move to the secondary smaller businesses if necessary.

It's always better to have one but not 100% necessary if doing the "under the event organizer" umbrella.
BEST video ever!! I'm in with both feet....and my wife's feet!! Lol
Wow, thanks
Bad this is Louis how do you join your group
Howdy Louie! VendorsUnited.com

Yup it's not easy. They mainly always say you have to call and ask cooperate. So sometimes I just go setup anyway and don't ask.
You go guuuurl!
🌭 👍
Ben you're better than Tony Robbins
😂 But thank you!
