AngryChris Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Tell us about the account. I can't imagine a decent account wanting machines from a rookie. I get the feeling it's a small account that wanted the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryChris Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I strongly recommend walking away. That's a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Not to discourage you, but for someone just getting started, I would stay away from am account that massive. Also, there is a big difference between working for someone else and heading out on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe101us Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Anyone willing to go in on this with me as a partnership just for this account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 A dream come true, but what if you paid for the equipment and got fired, happens more than most people know. If you can bear the expense, then jump on it with some really good equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 And don't forget you need a vehicle that can service that much and a place to store the products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe101us Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 I've got two e450 Econo line vans and a 6500 foot warehouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe101us Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 I just can't afford all th equipment by my self but would love that contract the funny thing is they don't even ask for but 3% is that bad I've been told that's to high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 That's $15,000 minimum even in cheap used equipment.... just a thought, you might contact Gilly Vending in Miami. I think they might do leasing or partnerships; but you would still need inventory, storage, and a good vehicle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 And 3% is not bad at all for a good account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe101us Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Yes I'm looking to find someone to help me out with this contract I live 2 miles from it so service ain't a problem it just not having the machines if someone in fl had them we could work out a partnership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that you've been working it for five years, you should already have a good idea of the product flow and income generated so being a new business owner should not be that much of a hurdle. I'd contact A&M out of Georgia (Atlanta area I believe) as they have some very nice refurbed equipment (AMS snack and Royal sodas). They also offer a lease program. I do have a couple of questions though; the first being what happened to the existing vendor and two; how the hell did you land a location this large not being in the business already? This account could be either a dream or a nightmare if you F it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe101us Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 The other vendor does not fix broken equipment or take out stales only shows up once in a while and then don't want to fully stock the machines. My mom is the office manager and secertery for the CEO. The company I use to work with had the contract and I know what the account will make with all working equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I am interested in what you would like the partnership to involve? If you would email me at gcarpenter21@tampabay.rr.com, we can discuss what we both would need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryChris Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 My suggestion is to try to get an account with about 20-30 blue collar workers and provide snacks and cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe101us Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 I got two or three of those already this account just kind of fell in my lap I wasn't even seeking it when they called me like I said my mom works there and when they started talking about getting a new vending company she gave them my number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
