sherlock Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The truth is that whether it is a single head versus multi head racks our locating services and techniques are basically the same for both. Just a little larger foot print and a little more money for you in the long run. So why should I make more for the racks simply because you have more potential to make more money? Our work is the same either, and in reality if I charge the same then we have made a life long customer and quite probably a friend because I did not take advantage. Man...that sure was refreshing to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will.vend Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hello everyone my name is Mike and I am co-owner of www.allprovendinglocators.com If anyone is looking for a good locator give us a try. We require no money up front and we have a 90 day no questions asked policy for a new location.you mention your staff besides you and bill. Where are they physically located? Are they in the states or overseas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Pro Vending Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 you mention your staff besides you and bill. Where are they physically located? Are they in the states or overseas? They are all here in the states. Texas, Idaho, Ohio, South Dakota, and Georgia. I don't hire from overseas. Hopefully will be hiring and training a few more over the weekend so they are ready to go by Monday. We are placing over 80 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 They are all here in the states. Texas, Idaho, Ohio, South Dakota, and Georgia. I don't hire from overseas. IMO, THAT right there is a GREAT reason for anyone looking for a locator to give you guys a try. I don't pretend to know your business as I've never located for anyone but myself. But, the one thing I would hope you guys stress to your trainees is that they should NEVER, under NO circumstances, mislead locations with lies or misrepresentations. The downfall in my relationship with more than one locator came because someone on their staff lied to business-owners while finding me locations. One of their lies even cost me a lot of trouble with a charity I really enjoy supporting. There are still plenty of honest vendors out there...and they expect to be represented honestly by their locating company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, please make sure your staff receives legitimate permission from a REAL decision maker. Too many times, we vendors walk into a location and are told that nobody (with REAL authority) authorized a machine. For charity spots, make sure the location understands they are getting a machine on a stand - and NOT an honor box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adog Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I am curious if anyone has heard from the new locators? I placed a order for a rack location last tuesday and still haven't heard anything from them. I am seeing other people place orders as well yet haven't heard them say they have received any locations as well? Just curious if anyone on the forum has received in locations or had their orders filled? If so chime in and post your experiences!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be a good location. If you end up not liking it let us know and we have a second location that wants a rack. Should be sending some more of you emails tomorrow and Weds.

adog Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Well I am happy they are coming through. Put that locator on my account lol jk. Keep us posted on how it goes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Pro Vending Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 I have put together a vendor request form so all future orders I will email this to you for you to fill out and email it back to me. It basically ask questions as to how many locations, type of machines, commission percentage, etc. This way its easier for both you, me, and the locators so we don't have so many emails back and forth.

All Pro Vending Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 New policy.....all orders that have already been placed with us we will go on and commit to finding those locations but any new vendors from this point forward we are requiring payment in advance. The reason for this is we have found locations for 5 vendors and have only been paid from 1 vendor. The other 4 vendors are not returning phone calls or emails. Also, if you are currently our client we will continue allowing you to pay us after we find locations as long as you are in good standing with us. This new policy is only for new clients from this point forward. Hope everyone understands. The rest of the location request that were put in on Weds. the 8th should have appointments by Tues.

sherlock Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 This is just sad. All-Pro is experiencing what other post-service pay locators have suffered. So many times we vendors come on here and gripe about the lack of ethics or poor professionalism of locators and I don't know that we, as a group, are any better. This is not the first time we hear about deadbeat vendors not paying for services already provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adog Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I would love to pay them. Am always up and on good standing with locators. However I need a good location first to pay for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
