Rick Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sounds to me like they've strictly become a resource for the SERIOUS full-time venders looking to make the leap from full-time to taking over the world. At least that damn well better be the case for 50 grrrrrrrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 50 grand? forget it. had planned to visit their office while i am out in vegas this august but that is f******g absurd. you could hire a full time sales guy and do a better return than that.

rdendy Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 We're vendors, we negotiate everything whenever we can, he may just be starting out high to give him room to come off that price. that's my guess anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkjake Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hey everyone, Has anyone else used Got Locs? Considering using them to place some commission racks I want to get placed. Thanks, Brian Just FYI; I purchased my route from a guy who used Got Locs a few years back (We track all locations with what locator was used). I still have most of the locations they placed for the previous owner of the route. All the locations we have from Got Locs do very well. We have a taqueria that is killing it every 2 weeks. (the tray is overflowing with quarters) I have only 1-800 triples. I do not want to post what was paid for these locations because it was so long ago and I am sure his prices have increased. I can tell you that it was no where near $500 per location. I have his information and I will probably call him again based on the number of machines we have remaining after several years and the performance of the machines / return. I hope this helps.

amc-vending Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It seems like a year or maybe a 1-1/2 yrs ago some here used them and the total cost worked out to be around 185.00 per location Total cost was like 4-5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdydre Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I had contacted them about a year or so ago and they did not have a minimum just a few months wait time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderJerry Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I think the $500 quote is for full line snack and/or soda units...not bulk racks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc-vending Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I think the $500 quote is for full line snack and/or soda units...not bulk racks... That is a reasonable price for soda / snack locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecent@atime Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That is a reasonable price for soda / snack locations No its not reasonable at all 150-300 is 300 tops I have locations that do 20 a month and others do 250 and there are no guarantees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulkjake Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Just a thought, not trying to hijack this thread, what do you guys think is a fair cost per location for an 'In Person Locator' like Got Locs (Given the cost of Airfare / long distance travel, motel, food, over night stay, ex...) I originally wrote this specifically for Bulk Vending however, I would like all input for your line of vending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 No its not reasonable at all 150-300 is 300 tops I have locations that do 20 a month and others do 250 and there are no guarantees i dont think "locators" are really any good at full line locations. A full line acct is not one you can easily slam dunk. If it is odds are the location isnt very good anyway. A $250 a month snack/soda location sucks. A $250 a month soda-only location is OK but again, you can find these yourself free all day long by dialing thru the phone book. bev (poplady) had a great post on this i wish i could remember where it was.

I originally wrote this specifically for Bulk Vending however, I would like all input for your line of vending. depends what they are finding for you. I have a guy working for me that lives locally. I pay him $30 for an appointment with the DM. I think this is very fair and I have a decent close rate. I told him some people are just going to say yes right away. If thats the case, i will pay you $100 or 2 months net revenue, it is your choice. I also feel this is fair. If he is able to close a bowling alley or movie theater acct on his own, this is worth way more than $100 but a smaller acct he should at least have an incentive to try. By letting him chose it makes it easy so we dont have to figure out an agreement on which type of accts get which commission structure. If he thinks the acct will be gangbusters, its up to him.

bulkjake Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Has anyone heard from Lee Park of 'GOT LOCS?' or used his locating services recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Has anyone heard from Lee Park of 'GOT LOCS?' or used his locating services recently? talked to him about 2yrs back, nice enough guy but he wanted a LOT of money and I ended up really hitting my stride a few weeks later so i didnt bother following it up further. he claims he can get A+ level locations but the cost is very high and its much more affordable to hire someone in house for what they are asking. my only point of curiosity was that they claim to get the comm. percentage down.

I know it's not cheap and I think you read my thread on my in house strategy...so I am sure you know that I am all about in house when it comes to locating. BUT, I was reviewing my numbers last night and my locator % figures. Got Locs has gotten me the highest and best performing locations (and longest lasting) out of any of the locators my charity route has ever hired since inception (2008ish) ... (in house or not). I have never personally outsourced it to a locating company but, I have records going way back as to what machines were placed by what locator/company... I was just curious if anyone had gotten locations from them recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
