Anybody need help finding locations ?

Recommended Posts

I have been working as a locator now for about 3-4 months. I was employed by a third party vendor and sine then have parted ways with that Co. Now I would like to do this on my own.

I have been involved in Marketing pretty much my whole life, and am very good at what I do, and I am an honest and ethical person.

I will try to find you locations that not only produce, but will be in close proximity with youre other locations. And if for some reason I cannot find you a location ( sure I can though ) you will not pay me anything, and I will replace a location if it is not producing.

Hope someone will give me a chance, I really need to work and I really need to build up my reputation so I can be successful in this field.

prices? Looking for a locator that can produce at least 5 locations a week, and only targets quality locs. Not interested in hair salons, tire shops, car dealers, mechanics shop, or office buildings. Locs need to be kid friendly places that will support single head gumballs and/or toys. Restaurants, bowling alleys, indoor fun parks, grocery stores, coin laundry, etc. Service radius of 100 miles with a lot of decent size towns.

Uh... no offense, but your username would be a bit of a red flag to me if I were looking for a locator and read your post. A usurper is somebody who takes a postion or place of authority illegally or by force. Doesn't really convey the image of ethical and honest. For the sake of attracting business, you might want to change your username to something a little more inviting.

I have to say that as much as vendors hate to pay locators and deal with us..... Look what we have to put up with.... Do I want the location or do I not,,,, Should I trust them or should I not.... How do I go about securing the location,,,, Blah Blah Blah.... Its stupid.....

The bottom Line here is,,,, sure you can find youre own locations youre self,,,, the question is, do you have the time to do it :huh: Ask youreself that,,, can you dial 80 - 100 #'s a day to get a location, do you think this is easy..... If you do then do it, dont call us.......

We find you a location, give you the contact and the specs, its up to you to secure the deal,,,, its that simple, this is not rocket science,,,, this is vending 101, and if you dont get it,,, go back to doing something else Geez,,,,, This idustry id not for you or youre service,,, or do it youre selves.

We find you a location, you pay us,,,, Its really pretty simple..

I understand rants, they let off some steam, but posting one on a board full of potential customers doesn't seem like the best of ideas. I mostly use locators since my regular job consumes a large portion of my time, but I can tell you I wouldn't want to work with you with that attitude. Yes, as a locator you have some concerns in dealing with vendors, just as we have concerns in dealing with locators. It's just part of the process. Personally, I find a locator that does well for me and by me, that locator never has to worry about getting paid or me worrying them to death, but until you prove yourself to your customer, and this goes for anyone in any business, then you will have to deal with issues.

You come off as sounding like you could careless about your customers, and NO ONE wants to work with someone with that attitude.

I used to be in sales, customer service and collections, if all you can dial is 80-100 a day vs an hr you sir/mam are in the wrong business. IJS

I'm not here to argue. I was just stating a point. So for the folks that think imbeing negative. I'm just being honest. Does that bother you ? I can and will give you advice on how to go about doing this on you're own. I'm just saying its not that easy. And I have been in sales and marketing for over 15 years. So I know what I'm doing. If you have the time then do you're own locating. But please spare you're negative comments about locators.

one of the points of this forum is to share are experiences with machines, products, locators, etc., the good and the bad. hope you weren't relying on TVF members to pay the mortage this month. anyone remember lewisx, them two should do business together.

Well I gotta say, this site is a waste of time.... Way too many Naysayers and people that are way too negative....

Good Luck to you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was considering calling you and having you get me a location until you made a fool of yourself... This site is amazing, but only if you use it properly.

As my mammy used to say "Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya!" and now a moment of silence and quiet contemplation over the loss of a fine locator who really knew how to sweet talk the possible clients.....

Negativity breeds negativity. This whole post started off as a negative rant, and yet he is surprised that he got negative responses. Yet he says he is not a fool. He also says he has been in sales for 15 years, yet has not learned to be professional.

Ok, I would like to make a sincere apology to the people I have offended with my post. In reviewing my rant I have realized that it was unnecessary to post what I said. I guess I was kinda venting on here for someone I was doing business with and that was totally wrong on my part... Not very proffesional.

I can assure you folks that I am an honest and sincere person and I truly enjoy helping vendors secure good locations for their Soda and Snack machines.

Hope you guys can and will give me another chance. I have references that you can call to verify my work.
