123tony456 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I am new into the bulk vending business (and very passionate on getting quality locations and growing a successful business). I hired Robert to Locate 10 of My Dentyne Ice that I purchased from the man (Steve @ Superpro Vending). After reading some of the posts on locators, I expected to wait 2-3 Weeks for a few locations...... (6) DAYS LATER!!!!! HE LOCATED ALL (10) OF MY MACHINES!!!!!! THE SAYING IS TRUE: YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET May god bless and help all of us to be successful vending operators and spend countless hours (ROLLING THOSE QUARTERS)!

tooldini Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Has anyone taken kickstart up on there bar/restaurant only and or the next day location for the extra 10.00 each? Last Friday I paid for the bar/restaurant only so I will see what happens. Last time I was sent a location for a shootin hoops to a speedy print shop LOL nobody there would use a shootin hoops so I placed a triple head there. The women there were very happy and spent $5.75 in the first week haven't used much the next week cause of halloween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 If I got a speedy print shop for a shooting hoops I would've sent rob back a "seriously...?" I am clear about the kind of machines I'm locating (IE, does it have toys, gb, shooting hoops, etc) and what I expect to get for targeting that demographic. So far, he hasn't sent me any that I wouldn't have thought "this looks like a good place". When you order a shooting hoops, the requirements should be implicit, and the price reflects the more exclusive location desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 LOL I was gonna but I figured I could make it work with a triple and I think it will be ok. I did get a price from someone else to do a shootin hoops and it was much more so I know there was no thought put into that speedy printing location LOL but it did work out luckily I had a triple head available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 If I got a speedy print shop for a shooting hoops I would've sent rob back a "seriously...?"me too.shouldn`t a shooting hoops cost less then a triple to locate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman007 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Shootin' Hoops should go in Kid Friendly places, I agree! We're always here to make things right. Shootin' Hoops are a little more expensive for a few reasons. - They are a little bit wider of a machine. - We generally target kid friendly locations which are more difficult to get into. Have a great one you all! It is my pleasure working with each and every one of you. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Update in regard to shooting hoops. I did have Rob place a shooting hoops for me. It brings in quarters at a rate of aprox 15$/month. Given that it is all gumballs, this is not too bad. I think the real test is after this experience, will I hire him to do another shooting hoops? If I can get my hands on another SH machine, I will send the order to Rob again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kai1836 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi , I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in here real quick. I have got Rob after a couple locations myself and it has been a very positive experience so far. He has a nice website with some pretty ineresting order entry and management software. I have had extremely fast responses from him when I have contacted him( we're talking in minutes here). I am looking forward to continuing to work with him. Good luck to everyone, and thanks to Rob.

candyman007 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Love the positive response! Much appreciated. My job everyday is to improve the way we do things. Regards, Rob P.S. Kai, what do you think of our new online system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kai1836 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The system is very easy to navigate and is very useful in keeping things organized. It automatically updates your location status and alerts you when new ones are found. It is a really helpful tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colorful buttons always make me want to buy things, even if I don't have that kind of machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I do not see the login to look at my locations Glad to hear there are more things going on at KS though. I'm excited to see the new features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman007 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just order 100 more locations and I'll get you on the new system Lurts! I've only been putting new clients on there to avoid any switch over issues. I'll get you on for your next order though. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman007 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 You're not on yet Josh! On your next order I can switch you over. Too difficult to do it mid-order. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BnDVending Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 At first we had trouble getting into the right location and I was getting a bit frustrated. However; Rob stayed on top of things and was responsive in getting me a very good grossing location that I am excited to say is doing very well. Rob was consistent and had good communication to keep me updated. I will continue to use his service in the future. Thank you, Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mage Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Just received my locations from Kickstart, and am placing 2 of them today. Local Pizza/BBQ rest - Sticker Papa Johns - Triple I am very happy with these two, but wondering about the third. A sticker machine in a bakery, and it closes at 2 p.m. I will give it a shot, and have the guarantee ready. (Hoping I won't have to use one this quickly though.) That one goes in Monday. My first time dropping off machines, so hoping things go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb5580 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 The 2 sound great, good for you! I am waiting for 2 single gum locations since before Christmas, hopefully they will come soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paraflier Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 A Papa John's?? Nice! All those people waiting for their pizza to get made. Nothing says patience like a guy with a handful of Mike and Ike's. I'd be interested to know how that goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mage Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Papa John's, no problem. The manager did have to call the person who approved it, but that only took a couple of minutes. And coincidentally I knew this manager. Didn't know he was a manager there. And he was stoked that the machine went in, telling me that he thought the Skittles would be gone in a day. Now the other place, they thought it was going to be a candy machine, not a sticker machine. I showed them the sticker machine, and informed them that if they wanted a candy machine instead, I could do that. He wanted to talk to his higher up, and get back to me, so I left my business card. If I don't hear back, I will call him back though. So it sounds like I might have the location, just not sure what machine they are going to accept. But I see the big possibility of loosing it while they discuss it. Now the question is what is going to happen at the bakery? Are they expecting a sticker machine? I think I might know how the mistake was made. They normally work on candy machines, having just added in the sticker and toy machines. So they probably fell into the habit of selling a candy machine. Problem is I put the NCCS sticker on the sticker machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Those do sound nice I am jealous since I am going on 6 weeks and only 1 location out of 5. I hope I get some nice ones like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
