dperry Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I honestly believe your time would be better spent by packing up your car with machines and product and go door to door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkvendingwizard Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I was considering doing the door to door method but someone informed me that I would have just the same amount of luck and would not have to spend any gas costs doing so. I have a vacation coming up which is a one week long vacation all 7 days ill have machines loaded in the van and going door to door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I honestly believe your time would be better spent by packing up your car with machines and product and go door to door. +1 I think you increase your odds of placement if you have machines with you going door to door.should have went yetsreday or today while it was nice.

dperry Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 well i had a personal business day to use up for the month so i decided to take tomorrow off. Shawn, Happily, my job allows me to take personal days off too. I will sometimes use those days to do my locating. Doing the door-to-door locating is best done during the week, and that's when I have the greatest success. I have too many machines in my garage right now, and I will be pulling several location for bad performance, so I will be taking one of those personal days again sometime this month.

KPHudson Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I make phone calls and it's sooooo easy! If I made 10 calls, I can place 2-3 machines.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I make phone calls and it's sooooo easy! If I made 10 calls, I can place 2-3 machines.... That's a far better closing rate than professional locators. Perhaps you should telemarket locations for others? At $30-$50 per location, you could make a killing just from the members here.

All too often just getting through the gatekeepers is hardest part about securing locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulkvendingwizard Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I got through the gate keeper by calling later in the evening and speaking to just the peion. For example of restaurant i got i called and the employee answers the phone i said: Hi jackie my name is shawn, i was returning a call that i recieved from the general manager. Do you know when they wil be in next. Jackie replies, well mark usually gets here between 9-10 every morning. I thanked her for her time and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask for the owner or manager....if they are not in, ask when is the best time to reach them, or a good time to stop by to see them would be......to be honest, I haven't had a ton of trouble with that.....The workers will usually tell you the best times to catch the owner or manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
