I would start small - perhaps with the manager of a local coffee shop? Maybe advertise in a local network for volunteers of people who want to get started? There may be more than you think.
However, you need to think about what is in it for them, and how you can help.
I would assist them set up a Lightning Network terminal (e.g. https://bitfurypeach.com, which is specifically designed for business, or BitPay, if transaction sizes are bigger). Explain the benefits of using it, and then ensure that you find them some customers who pay that way - e.g. local blockchain network, student blockchain society, tech groups etc. Put the business on local maps & directories of bitcoin merchants, and explain how this can be free advertising for them. Maybe see if the local newspaper wants to run a story for more publicity?
If it works well, you'll have hundreds of customers who will be intrigued and might want to try it out for themselves, plus a business owner who will talk with other small business owners.
