Street fairs - Talking to vendors

  • Do ten reps of:
    1. Walk up to a street vendor who isn't talking to anyone and doesn't look busy doing something (the best ones to approach are just watching people walk by)
    2. Ask them a question or two.
      • Example: "Hi, did you make these yourself? (wait for an answer.) How long does it take to make one of these?"
    3. Say, "Thank you!" and walk away.
    4. One rep should take generally less than 2 minutes. Don't ask follow-up questions.
