Repetition is key-- visit these same people again, and again. Get to know them and their business. Question: are the vendors the true decision-makers or just helpers?

Focus on getting just ONE conversion as a pilot project. Hold their hand till it gets traction. All the other vendors will take note if this thing works. Mindset is helpful, this is part of the market discovery process.

Helpful one. I actually met a CEO of a local wine company. He was excited (at least he asked a lot of questions), pointed me to his VP Marketing. Some are helpers. I will lock one and follow up.
