maestro489 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I was lucky enough to start my vending business by striking a deal with my uncle for 10 accounts. But as you can imagine the time for more accounts has come quickly. Befor I just go walking into some company I feel like I need to know at least how many employees they have so I know if it would be a good account for me. Where can I find this information?

AZVendor Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Count the cars in the parking lot. Online databases are not that accurate and you have to pay for most of that type of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Count the cars in the parking lot. Online databases are not that accurate and you have to pay for most of that type of info. Been my method for years is ridding around looking at parking lots with cars. The next question is do you know what to do once you get to an account you would like to have?

RJT Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 RJT do you have suggestions, please share. I have an idea but would love any advice you could give Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk That subject is far to complex to do in a single post. However, I have spoke about it many times on here in the past. Where is your uncle? How did he get the accounts you bought? Are you happy with the current revenue your current accounts are producing? However a few things to remember. 1. Find an account you would like to call on. 2. Knock on their door and introduce yourself and find out how is in charge of vending. 3. Try speaking with them or making a future appointment to do so. 4. Once you speak with them find out how you can earn their business. That can be by finding things they are not happy with their current vendor or by offering them something they are not currently getting. This could be something as some "healthy selections" better variety, etc. 5. Once they give you permission to do a proposal then make sure the proposal makes sense to not only them but also to you and your company. 6. The end result is closing the deal with everyone involved in the deal happy with their decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro489 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Also is the car counting one for one. Meaning if you count 100 cars you assume there are 100 employees Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't answer my question about your uncle and your current accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
