If you don’t ask you don’t get, I’m cycling to one of the largest cycling companies in the UK to ask for sponsorship, the scariest cold call ever.

Nicely done Ben – good people at Zyro Fisher btw…
This is a first class lesson for the under 30s who are struggling to find jobs – showing up in person works surprisingly well – putting a name to a face and leaving an impression…
Hey Ben check the title shouldn’t it be “will they sponsor me” 😎😎😎 have a great day everyone.
No shame in biking on that path, it’s shared use and that stretch of the A167 is lethal. I use it nearly every day.
The saying goes “if you don’t ask you don’t get” well done, great result for you😀
Love the hustle and your channel. This is a great message for the young generation. Old School ways make you stand out.. Personal communication and interaction.. I love it!
Great video. Good things happen to good people , and isn’t it funny , the harder people try, the harder they work , the luckier they get 😉. Good things are coming I can feel it .
Contact Zwift too !
Amazing day out for you Ben..Francis better keep his eye on you coming for his crown 😂
Brilliant Ben hope your channel goes from strength to strength my new favourite channel 👍🏼
Good job, Ben.
Im 1.74 n ride 52 cm frame
Top man👍 Great video & content.
Not you turning up to Zyro with a Shimano groupset 🤦♂😂
Riding on the path? Highway Act 1835 Section 72 😮☝️❌️
Get a few freebie Pinarello bikes like Amy has. She's got a blue one, a brown one, a pink one, a red one, two green ones.😮😮😮😮😮😵💫
I was always told "A closed mouth never gets fed". I feel a lot of people come to these platforms expecting to get something, you didn't, you freakin' went for it. You rock!
Nice work Ben. The irony is this "old school" method now makes you stand out even more, in a good way of course! Actually speaking to people face to face works, who'd have thought it! 🙃
Class mate! Great concept thinking outside the box 🔥
who dares wins Rodney
Shy bairns get owt 😉
Good luck with it Ben. 'Don't ask – Don't ever get'. Keep making it happen. 🙂
Great video
As someone who owns a brand, we look for someone who can actually sell our products. Just wearing it, talking about it, and taking pics and posting doesn't work. Thousands of consumers wear and post on social media. It's not so much of what a brand can do for you, it is what you can do for the brand. Sales matter. That is what sponsorship and branding are all about.
Thanks Ben, love your work. It’s just great watching you.
That was Very positive and motivating
I am 5’8 and I ride a 52cm Emonda (SL6 pro) 👌👌 …. My previous Emonda was a 50cm and arguably slightly more comfortable …. A 54cm would be WAY too big for me.
Well done Ben a little bit of initiative which looks to have been appreciated by the brands you spoke to 👌
This reminds me how we used to get Jobs go to the place and sell yourself
Shy bairns get nowt. Great message to put out there Ben.
Well done Ben!
Great effort!
The old skool approach works!
👍
Nice! You are very deserving of a sponsorship, good luck!
😊
Great plan Ben and frankly they would have been foolish to have turned you away, you’ve got exactly what it takes with your thought provoking and encouraging content and just the right sort of personality without being bland or brash. As others have said, a tremendous example to youngsters who are looking for work. Originality usually pays off. Simon
Superb Ben, delighted tgat worked out, bet it was a quick trip back home. I’m in Barcelona for the first two stages, maybe see you cutting about. 💃🕺
Cheers, and all the best,
Buzzing for you, Ben. Really hope all of them come on board! Let’s goooo
Hi Ben from Australia. Enjoy your videos, keep it up and good luck going forward.
I definitely agree re mixing kits, I do it all the time and think it's mad not to. Who cares about some silly rules. I also don't shave my legs 😂.
Congratulations mate, very happy for you, the time you've invested and initiative you've shown is paying dividends. Well done.
Nice one Ben, top job 👍
Good luck Ben. Great to see you giving it a go. Cheers from Illinois
Good on you Ben!
