zactho1 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I have been searching for a week and a half now and have not yet found a location. I have tried skating rinks, laundromats, and restaurants. Is it common to get this many "no's"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 What type of equipment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zactho1 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Bulk Triple Vend machines. I am only buying them one at a time as I get a location, though. I don't have the funds to buy a lot of ten yet. Since I posted this I have found two: one at a oil change/tire shop and the other at a new hot dog restaurant. I am a little nervous about the hot dog restaurant since I have no idea how many customers it is going to get or if it will be a successful business. I still have yet to get a laundromat......however, I did speak to one owner. He and his brothers own 7 laundromats in this area. He said he bought 7 machines a while back but does not have the time to mess with them. He offered to sell them to me, then said he would get back to me as he was going on vacation for three weeks. It has been three weeks. Should I call him or wait? Unfortunately I don't have the $$ to buy all of them at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I have gone huge stretches without success. Sometimes things just aren't aligned for what you're looking to do. If you keep on looking, you will eventually get a yes, but you may need to mix up your tactics a bit depending on your area. Give it time, and the state of things will change- almost always in your favor, so don't give up or slow down. You will get one sooner or later. Good luck!

rodney69 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It looks like you're also looking in one of the harder to get types of locations. Those are more of a honed skill to get. Restaurants are borderline, but the rest would be ones I would target after you learn to read people and know what percentages they are getting. Don't get me wrong, it never hurts to ask, but most of those will have contracts or high commission. You'll need to bring your A game for those. Practice at restaurants and ask questions if your going commission. If your going charity, have your pitch down tight. Go only between 9-10:45am and 2-3:45 pm to restaurants. They're busy other than that and even during those times the manager may be on break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zactho1 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks for all your replies. I am in central South Carolina. I ran into some financial trouble and currently have a night job as well as my full time career job during the day. I still have my two locations, and plan on getting more. I'm not giving up on it. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
