How does Bulk Vending Machine Locating work?

1. Do I need a Charity? Locating bulk vending machines is predicated on the fact that bulk vendors associate themselves with a charity. The reason for affiliating with a charity is so you have something to offer the business owner for allowing you to place a vending machine in his or her business. Commission vending doesn’t work well with bulk vending machines unless you are in a very saturated market. Therefore, the primary outlet to placing bulk vending machines is with a charity. What charity do we suggest for bulk vending machines? We suggest the National Children’s Cancer Society for three simple reasons: it’s affordable, you can signup online, and children are hard to say no to. http://www.children-cancer.com

2. After I affiliate with a charity for our bulk vending venture, then what? You hire us! Simply stated we are a specialized tele-placement company for bulk vendors. You provide us with zip codes in your area, we use our discerning online database of businesses, and we begin making calls. It’s that simple.

3. What do I do after you call or email us with a location? The first thing you do is get your bulk vending machine ready. Put the candy in it, clean it up, and make it shine. We also suggest you wear a name badge with your charity affiliation.  Then you head off to the address that we provided you with. We will also have provided you with the person whom we spoke with and the best time to reach them.  

4. When I arrive with my bulk vending machine what should I say? We work for you, you work for yourself, and we all work for the charity you represent.  This is how we suggest you begin, “Hello my name is John with the National Children’s Cancer society, and I’m here to place your candy machine.”  Wait for response. “Great, where would you like me to place it?  Wait for response.  “Thanks you so much for your generosity, my number is on top of the machine in case you have any questions.  We will be back to service it and keep it clean once a month.  Thanks again.” 

What is the difference between the Platinum, Gold, and Silver locating plans? The platinum is our basic plan and the plan most of our customers prefer.  It provides a full two year warranty with the location. What does that mean? It’s simple, for up to two years we will replace your bulk vending location for any reason for only $20. What if the location is not generating enough revenue, is that covered in the $20 replacement guarantee? Yes, it is covered, we will replace it for the discounted rate of $20. Our goal is to make your vending route profitable so you choose us again in the future. The Platinum Plan and the two year extended warranty protect you 100% and is by far our most popular plan.   

Referrals? YES!  We have instituted a new $2 program.  Let’s say you refer John Smith to us and he orders 10 locations.  That will result in a $20 check made out to you!  This way if John continues to order locations, you will continue to earn.  It’s a great system and has unlimited profit potential!
