bulkyguy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I retained the services of Kickstart to place 10 u-turn machines 2 weeks ago. I provided Rob with 2 zip codes (suburb of Chicago) with an approximate population of 75,000 people and a plethora of businesses from restaurants to manufacturing. In those 2 weeks Rob has secured 1 pizza place. After discussing this with him via email he responded that there is a ramp up that they have contacted 300 businesses and are waiting to callback the decision makers. All of this does not sit right with me. At this rate it would take 4 months to place 10 machines. I hired a professional locator to place my first 10 machines because I have a full time job and time is limited. In know way did I think it would take this long. I believe I could have placed these machines myself by now. Am I way off base and being too impatient? Is this a standard placement time with them. Has anyone had a similar experience with Kickstart. Any feedback would be appreciated. Regards, Bulky Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakevending Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 If you check the poll under locator discussions, 2-3 months is pretty typical. Sure, you might get them within a week (and there have been many posts saying that that's what they got), it seems like it realistically takes longer then that.

Dorado Vending Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Locating takes time when its a REAL professional locator. Unlike Melaines locating service that gets you terrible but quick locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
