      @flog have you ran a food truck? Or are you a patron or foodie for kickass food, like me?

      1. 2

        @helengriffinjr I've never ran a food truck, but it's something that always interest me. I'm more of a cook, and a street food lovers. I traveled lots and I've observed the difference in this industry from country to country.
        I cook galette because of my origins (brittany, west part of France), which is a family typical meal, but also sold as street food now. I also cook Loc Lac (cambodgia), which can be sold in bowl.
        What are your favorite plate to cook?

      thanks!

      What went wrong with the webinar?

      Anything I can learn from? :)

      1. 1

        Running late for work. But I'll circle back this evening to give the blow by blow!

    2. 1

      @Janice now that you tried webinars, try to do something smaller like a one on one session with a target 🎯 customer to work out the kinks. Nail down & understand the customer problem like the back of your hand. Plus, that’ll get you a testimonial and advocate aka word of mouth. You could build on this and gain yourself ambassadors organically 😁
