Poplady1 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 When my sister started her honor box route a member on here sent us Ned's phone number. We contacted him and he did a great job. I contacted him today to see if he wanted some new business. He has sometime now. If you want someone that we had great luck with and did a great job here is his contact information.

sherlock Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks for sharing. Solid recommendation from an established/respected TVF member. Hopefully anyone using Ned will be as happy as you. Coming from you...I may just give Ned a try myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Unless you all swamp him, he really was great for the past 8 months with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Unless you all swamp him. Unfortunately, I fear that's what will happen. TVF has a history of doing that to good locators. The amount of traffic that we send to them can gum the wheels of even the best locators. Thanks for the referral. Hopefully Ned will realize the steady volume of new business that we can provide him and take steps early to handle it appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hoping he knows how to say no when too many call. If he would just post notices on the forum when he is full and communicate it might work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 So someone gave him a call to start. Let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h20g8tr Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thank you so much for the recommendation and the kind words! I would be glad to help you if you have single, double, or triple-heads. Feel free to give me a call if you would like to try me for a small order. Best Regards, Ned 904-377-6409 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboJet427 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 So what is the name of Neds locating business? does he have a web site ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makes Cents Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I tried a couple small orders with Ned, here is my report: Overall good locations, fast turnaround (gonna get slower now as he gets more biz), good communication. No surprises when showing up, all were expecting me. I got kicked from one but that was because a mgr. gave approval & owner wanted it out. Ned was good about a replacement. Types of locations I get on a 5 location order: Taco restaurant, BBQ place, hotel, hardware store break room, cafe. Overall 4.5 out of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes Cents Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Great review! Those sound like they'll be good locations! How much does he charge per location? It depends on what type of equipment but for a standard bulk @ 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Because Ned was recommended by someone I highly respect (poplady1) I decided to try him myself. Overall - It was an A+++ experience. I have nothing negative to say about Ned and his service. His communication was great. Turn-around time getting locations was fantastic. His demeanor and phone presence are superb. Answers to my questions and the fulfillment of my order could not have gone any smoother. He is a true professional. Easily the best locator experience I've been a part of...and I've had my share.

Guess I better get in line before he gets swamped! I hope he has a sound plan to deal with the volume of orders he will get from TVF. Sure would hate to see another good locator fail due to poor planning. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure would hate to see another good locator fail due to poor planning. I am not going to speak for Ned. But, I will say that he mentioned his plan to avoid this problem and it was sound. Now, it was only a brief mention and I didn't prod him any further. However, it was good to hear he had given it some thought and come up with what seems like a good strategy.

h20g8tr Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi Folks, Thanks for the awesome reviews. Folks, it is a numbers game anyway you see it whether you do it in person or through a locator. Nothing is guaranteed until you place your machine in the location to see if that dog will hunt. It takes a good location, good customer service, and schmoozing skills with or without being affiliated with a charity as well as having a good locator to see if the location represents possible positive producer. You have to be aware that the business opportunities being presented to you are also being over-selled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h20g8tr Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 By the way, I do have a sound plan in place if i do get swamped which is a good problem these days. I have been swamped before and the turn around time averages 1 to 2 weeks. I have to do my jobs in the order I receive them to be fair to everyone. But once I get on your job, I am on it like a hound dog and can get it done in a few days to a week depending upon my luck and the number of locations you need. I can always send the locations out to you as I get them as well to keep the location fresh. If you have any question or comments, feel free to call me 904-377-6409 or email through this awesome web site. I will get back to you or answer any questions you may have.
