bostonvendor27 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Well after about 20 no's I was able to get one location today!!! It is a large pizza shop with a kids play room. Very exited about this one!!! It took a while but I seem to be getting more comfortable with locating. When I first started locating I wanted to go into this place but the size of it scared me away.It's amazing what a little experience will do for you.

whaletail116 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 30 straight no's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Vending Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yep, a bad streak for sure. I am very selective though and could get 10 straight ok's in places I've learned don't have any staying power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonvendor27 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 After I secured the location the owner told me that two other men came in before me and tried to get a machine in but she didn't trust them and they were very pushy. I think the reason I was able to land it was because I was just being myself and not trying to sell her anything..... plus I ordered some food and I think that helped a bit lol....

mtsoccer4 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 30 no's in a row? Nuts. I'm still sort of a newbie, but I might have a suggestion. When I locate I will sometimes go blindly into places, some of which already have machines. Most of the time I like to call in advance and normally talk to a regular employee to see if they have a machine or not. If they do, ask if they think the machine looks clean or is filled regularly or something like this. Could be a lead...if they don't have one, of course then you should ask when the manager is in next, so you can go speak with him/her in person. This might cut your driving time down and raise your stats a little bit. I visited 10 places yesterday and got 2 yes's, good for 3 machines total. Some days are good, and others are terrible!

mainor5251 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The no's don't bother me anymore the ones that are on the fence about it but end up saying no or let me think about it, always wonder if there was something else I could have said to sway the decision in my favor.

lurtsman Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 When I'm having a decent day locating, I feel like my acceptance rate is much higher than it is. I frequently forget that a location said no within 3 minutes of leaving the place. After visiting 12 locations and getting 2 or 3 of them, I can only remember visiting 5-6 of them. I am not huge on locating, but I feel incredible when I get new locations.30 in a row is a pretty awful streak though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Falcon Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hey Boston kudos to you, pizza shops make great locations. What kind of machine did you set up in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonvendor27 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks Rick! I set up a triple but I would like to get a rack in there eventually. I am building a good relationship with the owner so maybe next month I will talk to her about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Falcon Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Boston I'm excited for you please push for that rack of course with giving time a triple is good but its holding you back from doing so much more just imagine two toy machine on top with three globes on the bottom with skittles, PMM, and a nice gumball mix.
