corbin Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So I managed to Lay New Rails in my Vending Operation, Ive been so relentless in staking out amazing deals on machines in my area; Ive already managed to Stash away 34 Northwestern 60s 7 Northwestern 7s 9 Beaver Shootin hoops in my little apartment. I tell ya if you guys seen it you would laugh your asses off at my Tetris abilities. Finnaly Bought some Gumballs, And began Locating! So I filled a beautiful Bright Yellow Northwestern 60 Glass filled with Shinny Double Bubble Gumballs, packed it in a carry bag , and began the easiest 30 Minutes of locating ever. So with my bag I walk to the bank 4 blocks away to stop by to talk about some business, (specifically, Im buying my own Condo on the Beach of the Atlantic Ocean by Christmas It will be my first house, and I am very excited.) And also to provide my vending services for their Breakroom(Ive asked prior about the lobby area, but the said corporated don't like that.) So after saying hi to everybody in the bank(Im on first name basis with them all.), and showing them the beautiful northwestern, and asking them what they all wanted inside the single head ill have back there, they all want Peanut Ms. After all that fun stuff, I go to talk serious business with the banks manager; who is very sweet might I ad. We talk about the house, about some business Loans. I tell her about a deal im about to close on(Ill let you guys know after I close it, lol), which she seems very excited for me. She then tells me she will email corporated discussing the machine ill be placing back there, and will let me know what they say in a week. So then I ask her for a referral of anyone she knew who owned business in the area, she Gives me three names, She calls the first one, Ali the owner of a cell phone shop, but he didn't awncer. She then calls the owner of a salon across the street, but she explained the vending machine, and presentation very wrong.(God Bless her heart for trying though.) and they say no. Then she tells me about a guy who owns a resturaunt close by but I could not find him, and she doesn't have his number. So then I shake hands with her, tell her goodbye and was off to locate. I first go to the Salon across the street to clarift about what sort of service I offered, and the charity I work with. but she claimed its not a good place for it, and says no; after a couple more rebuttles, and probing abit(but not to deep to annoy) I leave. I then go to Alis Cell phone shop right down the road, and he was there chilling on the computer. I walk in and instantly say "are you Ali?!" enthusiastically with a smile on my face. He says "No, im his cousin, Ali is on vacation." I then say "Jen from Regions Bank sent me" So I give him my presentation, asking for a donation of space for The Childrens Home of my city(Local Charity) and Immediately, No questions asked he says "Yea, No problem, and told me where to put it." DING! So after getting my first location threw referral, I then was feeling HOTT, and IN THE ZONE! I walked abit looking at shops to provide my services to, and walk into another cellphone shop 1 block away, I walk in, straight to the counter while the owner is 4feet back on his computer chilling; Hey how are you doing today Him "Im doing Great, How about yourself" Me "Im doing phenonomel, thanks!" He then gets up from him desk, and we shake hands, and exchange names. I then give him my presentation, and he asks about a countertop stand, Luckily I had one so I confirmed, and told him id bring it there asap. After Dropping off the Machine to him with the countertop stand, he then says "hey, I have another cellphone shop 4 blocks away you can put one there, it has more space." GLORIOUS! So with my new location handed to me, I went to my crib and picked up a sexy northwestern 60 on a cast iron stand to drop off at the third cellphone shop. Pretty Great for my first day I think I plan to Locate some more on Monday, I tried abit today but think its not too great of an idea to locate Friday with all this tourist traffic, atleast not the restaurants I also Find That I like the color a lot more on Oakleafs bubble King more than Double bubbles. So from now on Im sticking with OakLeaf for my gum. Stay Tuned for more Adventures with Corbins Vending. Have a Blessed Day!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huynhhh Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 That's great! I'm going locating for my first time this Monday, how do you present your business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 depends, I read the situation; then present that Im a vending machine operator in collaboration with my given local charity. Truth is really all ya need. Also remember being a operator, your in the service industry; so a lot of business owners will love the fact they get a FREE machine With Candy they don't have to buy or worry about; because you maintain and keep it clean yourself. So Sell the fact its a awesome free service that YOU maintain and take care of. I also carry a machine with me in a bag, and pop it out and show them the Glory on the spot. haha Goodluck!

Makes Cents Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Im glad your doing good, enjoy it. Theres a story I read when I started locating that helped me, especially on the bad days. Its about two encyclopedia salesmen. It goes something like this: There were these two encyclopedia salesmen, one old veteran who had been in the business 30 years and a newer salesman he was mentoring. They were working a residential neighborhood one day going door to door. The newer salesman was jumping at the bit, enthusiastically trying to get the sale. Every door he knocked on he was sure he would close. The older man just smiled and shook his head moving slowly onto the next house. By early afternoon the young salesman was getting tired and irritated, he couldnt figure out why he couldnt close and what really irritated him was that the more tired he felt the more energized the older salesman seemed to become. The later it got the happier the old man seemed to be. Finally, around 5 pm they closed a sale for two full sets of encyclopedias, one for the homeowner and one for her grandchildren as a gift. At the end of the day the younger salesman asked the older one why he seemed more energized and happy the later in the day it got. The old man exclaimed 'slow and steady wins the race, sales is a numbers game, thats all it is'. And with that the young salesman understood, the more houses they went to, the closer they were to getting the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks BlindVending for your Congrats!, Huynhhh- For Charity I give whatever percentage I feel is great, no set percentage yet; I plan to later us my charity vendors to create my own charity to improve the local fitness community's beach gym, I envision something sorta like Muscle Beach Venice California. For commission, I give 20% commission; and will expand my services into ATM machines to Maximize account Net, and Shared profits with the business owner. I also study marketing, sales, and networking; and have a super idea regarding creating a marketing network with my clients(or as I like to call my friends) for more exposure. They will LOVE me. cant Replace Genius. Anywho MoonDog, and Makes Cents - This ones for you; So my discussion right now is regarding the Fire Within, and Enthusiam(or as the Greek called En-Theos, or The God Within) That excitement you first had was a Burning Desire that came with the Awesome Vision, and Potential you saw in Vending. Also more or less how much thought you put into the Charity you work with if you do, But what it boils down to is MINDSET, VISION, MOTIVATION, POTENTIAL, BELIEF, and KNOWLEDGE. And all these principles are connected as is all facets of life. Your thoughts control how you feel. So the Key is to control your thoughts, AND your habits. Believe in yourself, and your abilities to tap into your potential. Believe in the Vision you have, and Put into practice your imagination constructively. Image those yes's from location owners, Imagine the Joy on the faces of the Children you service, and help. You wanna burn hot and bright? You want to keep that Fire with you? Strive to be the best in everything you do, No not just to do it, but that is great too. BUT TO BUILD THE MIND SET OF CONSTANT NEVER ENDING IMPROVEMENT, STUDY SALES, GET CONNECTED WITH YOUR CHARITIES, THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN SEE THE LIFESTYLE YOU DESIRE, See how much more time you would have to enjoy life, your kids, enjoying your loved ones. It is us as human beings who hold the power over which we let our potential become reality. Believe, if you Believe you will think thoughts of belief, you will feel empowered because over all it is us who determine how we feel, and think in regards to circumstance. Lets say you go into a place you know would be an awesome venue for your BULK MACHINES, you see this place has enough space for them, ect. You go talk to the owner enthusiasticly, and give your presentation, but he instantly says no. you talk it over some more with him, but he wont budge; you even offer him free 20$ gift coupons to the best stakehouse. and he still says "no!" In that moments there could be a lot of things going on in your mind. It is here in these moments between Stimulus, and Your Response that you choose your response. You can either take it personally, and feel like a failure, Or you Can See it as a challenge, and a call to greater effort; and thus study more, rehearse presentations in the mirror, ect. Or you can use your empathy to think maybe He is in Massive Debt, and Losing his Restaurant, but to proud to say so; so his no would be a favor for you saving you time. NEVER Let anyone's No, any setback, seemingly defeat or failure derail your enthusiasm! Between Stimulus, and Response there is a Gap; and in that gap lies our power. our power to CHOOSE our Reactions With these Endowments that lie between that Gap, Imagination, Conscience, Willpower, Self Awareness. Choose the higher thoughts, We have the power to act out of our imagination with self awareness instead of reacting from negative paradigms of the past. I say Keep you Enthusiasm, FEED that Fire; Make it Burn Bright. Stay Educated Innovate Anyone of us can accomplish far more than what Roger Folz did, He paved a strong way for Bulk Vending, But this Industry is not done yet. Any more direct questions mates? Thanks for reading all that; I have a lot on my mind. haha P.S. I Love Bulk Vending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like corporations? For example dollar giants that are franchises and bell and Rogers, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Depends on if it's corp or private. Franchises that don't have corp contacts you can approach the owner. Private cell shops can be as well. Cricket, and a other big names are franchise. Just have to track the owner. Basically, for myself, I'll try almost everywhere! I've learned that it only takes one person that wants what you have and your in business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I think the Cellphone shops will average around 10$ a month, not bad at all considering they are single heads, Take 1 Minute to service, and they are all three within a 2 Minute walk from me. Ill try to get any location Some corporates will take some more work in finding the right people to talk to, but.... THATS THE FUN OF IT!\ I love networking Did some Locating Today, with some Advice I heard from a Network Marketing discussion on youtube. Its the Go for No technique. Set a goal of how many NOs you want to hear a day, and go after it and all its Glory. With that in Mind, and my growing Superb Presentation skills I located 4 Machines within an hour and a half. Got A tabbaco/head Shop 2 Clothing stores and A restaurant/ Sports bar. Honestly I only got like one no, and a couple ill fallow up on Tomarrow. I plan to Located Atleast 5 Tomorrow.\ So my current machine count is 7 Locations, all Single Head Gumballs for now. Ill have a Foundation of Gumball, then upgrade the ones that need be to Candy, and Racks with stickers and toys. I seriously LOVE Bulk Vending. Dat Self Employed/Time Freedoms!

corbin Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 So I checked all my Locations after 1 week of my single head gumballs spots. its funny actually, you never know if a location will be great or not, the ones I expect to be gravy do a little lower, then the locations I expected to do little. Tshirt Store after 1 week- 6.50$ BUT the manager who I placed it with told me she was waiting for me because the owner wanted the machine gone, But after I opened it and found 6.50$ in it I was Excited because even though I lost the location, I SEE the potential of the area I live in. Clothing store after 1 week- 6.25$( turns out the dude who owns the places girlfriend LOVES gumballs, and Noms on them all day(she works in the adjacent shop), so I brought them a small bag of free Bubble King Gum) =] TINY resturaunt and bar- 87cents(AND WHEN I MEAN TINY I MEAN TINY 350Sq Feet, turns out someone found it amusing to keep feening pennies in the drop through coin mech, there was about 20 pennies in the thing haha) Pipe Shop- 50Cents That's all for now guys! Ill update after more of my adventures! Stay Tuned in! I Love Bulk Vending =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrybrooks vending Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You should stagger the t shirt place as long as you can..so you don't have to take it home..just to a new business..tell them you have to arrange. A pickup day so you will come back to pick it up..nothing lost.. Sent from my Ally using Tapatalk 2 What I mean to say is...find a new customer for the machine..that way you're not bringing it home.the object is is zero downtime..you don't have to worry about making the customer mad..they want you gone anyways..longer you take to move it..the more quarters!!
