dsimms Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I know eddie pulled through with his first placement for me very fast...was it luck? how can you tell if a certain area is over saturated with bulk vending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 It doesn't matter if it is oversaturated - it matters if you can make $ there. There are areas with lots of machines that we do well in. There are areas with only us and we don't do well. I don't mean that to be flippant - I am serious. It really isn't a black and white issue like that. As for Eddie getting "lucky"...this is his job. I'm not sure luck has anything to do with it. If you read the reviews on him, everyone has gotten their locations quickly and, in general, people are pleased with his results. Right now I think he is the highest rated locator - but he doesn't have the volume of the others. Once that happens, we'll see if he can keep his approval rating Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope luck had nothing to do with it. I hope he is just that good at what he does, and continues to provide good locations. I can not say that I live in a tiny area, but the area I would like to stay in is fairly small in comparison to minneapolis-st paul... I just hope he keeps it up...start inward, and expand outward if you have too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Vending Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I would say most areas are saturated; ease of entry has a lot to do with it. Just be persistent, offer superior service and be likable and you will be fine. Friday, I ran across a Vendstar with no chutes that the owner wanted out..no service.. and I slid in; another Vendstar abandoned and the dealer put that one in the back and I got in. Timing is everything and you have to be out there showing your face. There are many "vendors" who have given up, no service you name it... the more you pound your territory the better you will do.
