Subject to product approval. One product, one SKU. Steve Terrano pitches physical store owners in Manhattan directly. A store counts toward your 5 placements when the manager agrees to a trial of 30 days or more. Average timeline is 6 weeks (maximum 90 days).
Building a brand solely online has become a vicious, high-friction battle. Here is what physical retail solves:
Facebook & TikTok ad prices keep rising while conversion rates drop. You spend more every month just to stay flat.
Handling single-item shipping, damaged boxes, returns, and customer service eats up your profits and time.
Hiring "growth hackers" and marketing agencies that charge huge monthly retainers without delivering real revenue.
Physical retail stores order case packs, pay predictably, and expose your brand to thousands of foot-traffic buyers daily.
We offer two distinct pathways depending on whether you want Steve to pitch for you in Manhattan or learn the system yourself.
Steve pitches Manhattan stores for you
Learn to pitch & distribute in any market
We take your single product SKU and directly pitch independent Manhattan store owners for trial space.
To qualify: Submit business name/address, product name, GS1/GTIN registration, and scannable UPC. No barcode = no offer.
Product is supplied on consignment. The store pays only for items sold during a trial period of 30+ days.
If the store reorders, Steve hands the active wholesale account directly over to you. The store pays you directly going forward.

No. The course starts from the basics.
Plan on $10,000 or more beyond the course to get your business going.
No. It works anywhere enough people physically shop in stores.
No. The method has worked for UTZ, Pepperidge Farm, Tropicana, TBD Brands drinks, and beauty products. You can use it with any brand that has distributor pricing.
Not for remote distribution. If you distribute your own products, you'll need a vehicle. Your home can be your warehouse until you outgrow it.
Yes. You can deliver before or after work. Managers are flexible on delivery times, and some stores receive 24 hours a day.
Check your state's rules for the details. You can start distributing as a sole proprietor.
No, I don't provide financing. The course shows you how to negotiate owner-financed deals, where the seller finances the route.
It depends on you. I've gotten many yeses on my first walk-in. Practice your pitch, bring a good product, and catch the manager at a good time.
Yes. Stores need a scannable UPC barcode on your product.
Instantly after purchase, inside Whop. It's self-paced, so you go through it on your own schedule.
Yes, a 60-day money-back guarantee. Request it in Whop under Orders, then Request Refund. It refunds the course price. It doesn't cover the separate done-for-you placement offer.
No. The course teaches the method, the scripts, and the numbers. Results depend on you, your market, and the deals you make.
Yes, through a separate done-for-you service: $1,000 for 5 Manhattan stores on a 30-day+ trial. It's not part of the course. Book a call to ask about it.
Request a refund within 60 days of purchase in Whop: Orders → Request Refund. The course price paid is refunded. This does not cover the separate done-for-you store placement offer.
