frankie Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Has anyone ever gone through National Vending Source? They are out of Ohio and are a full service company which provides new machines through the manufacture, and locations in your area. Or does anyone know of a reputable company which does. ..thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have no direct info about this company good or bad. I will say that the problem with companies that supply machines and locations is the issue of acquiring quality locations through telemarketing. It is almost impossible to get the quality locations through telemarketing. The sale process to acquire good vending accounts is going to require face to face interaction to access the accounts needs and written proposals that are presented in person to the decision makers. Like I said I have no knowledge either way about this particular company but in the end IMO to be a competitive and successful vending operator you need to have an in house sales program. I am ok with companies that offer appointment setting but even that has its draw backs and limitations and especially more so with the better more sought after vending locations. You need to speak with the locations first hand and see what their needs are and what it is going to take to earn their business then decide if it makes sense for you to do business with them.

AZVendor Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 This sounds more like the vending management arm of Wittern Group (USI) where they try to sell you USI machines for accounts they are managing. I believe they go by the name of National Vending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so vending management situations like this are not a terrible option and have some decent accounts to offer at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thank you for the feedback....the new machines come from Wittern, National Vending states they come to your area and meet face to face with locations....which all sounds great, it ain't cheap though. Again, thanks for the response, much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
