cramlow82 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I've been doing a lot of research on here... planning out how I want to start off. I've gotten a lot of good info and suggestions... so I decided it was time to hit the pavement!!! So I went out for my first time. Took a while to get my confidence up and work on my technique... but it continually got better. I obviously got lots of "No's" and I kept telling myself to remember that it's nothing personal, and to keep moving on. Finally I got my first "Yes"!!! felt Great! I kept on going with many more no's and at the end of the day 6 yes's and a few leads on other places that people gave me recommendations on. So I ended up with 2 autobody/tire shops, a tattoo/airbrush/vinyl graphics shop, bakery, bicycle shop, and music shop. I figured that wasn't too bad for only 4 hours of trying (and I didn't want to go to any real restaraunts considering it's Friday and they would be getting ready for the dinner rush). I think a few will do good, and a few will eventually get moved... but time will tell. Either way, It was quite the experience. Feel free to tell me how you think I did? or share with us your first time out locating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Six yes's in one day is great! Locating usually requires follow-up. For whatever reason, maybe the decision-maker isn't in, they want to have a meeting, etc. I've only had a few locations where I self-located and was told yes on the spot; so six in one day is really good; congrats! Follow up on those leads and good luck on making some money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainor5251 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 You nailed it, job well done. One thing you'll learn is you never know about some accounts. I gotten locations in the past where I was sure I would eventually be pulling it and come to find out it was a gravy account and vice versa though.

timberframe50 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 6 is a fantastic day. My last placement took me 6 meetings with the decision maker to get the elusive YES. But I think the location is worth the effort. I hope you have more days like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
