Frequently Asked Questions...
How do I get first access to locations by
being on the
Priority Notice List?
Usually, you can get on this list after showing us that you
are honest and professional.
Here are the things we look for:
- Cooperation
throughout the process
-
Professionalism & timeliness
- Impression
made on the location
- Keeping us
updated on status (even if you decline it)
- Prompt
payment
If you do well on these areas through a couple of transactions, you
will be eligible to be on the short list for PRIORITY NOTICE!
We reserve the right to refuse this preference from anyone for any
reason. Mainly withheld from rude people.
Why do you need the last 5 digits of my
credit card before sending me the agreement?
The location agreement will Not ask for your credit card number, but
we do need to include only the
last 5 digits of your credit card number on the agreement as another
way to prove you are the cardholder.
What happens after I sign the online
Location Lead Agreement?
You will receive an email from us either providing the location
contact information or stating that you are in line to receive the
location contact info. Only 2 or 3 vendors are normally allowed to
call a location at a time. So, the first 2 or 3 to sign the
online agreement are given the contact info, and the rest are placed
in line to receive those details should another operator not meet
the needs of the location or decide to Pass on the account.
The order of the line is based on the date and times of the
E-signatures on the agreements.
Are there any
guarantees on location income?
No. This is why we allow you to meet with the location
before making a decision. You should gather any information needed
when you meet with the location, view their current machines or
break area, etc... to make the business decision of accepting
a location.
What about refunds?
The only case in which refunds may apply are if a
location has chosen you as their vendor, but then the location
changes their decision DUE TO NO FAULT OF YOURS after you
have made payment and before you install. For example, if a
location decides against you because you never showed on the planned
install date, the lead has been wasted because of your actions - No
Refund would apply.
How much are the fees?
The fees will vary with each location, but those details
will be included in the initial email making you aware of the number
and type of machines needed. However, they are considerably
less than a locator would charge; plus, unlike a locator, we allow
you to meet the location before making a decision.
Can I hire you to find 10 locations for me?
Actually, we don't go out to find locations in any one
area. We advertise and let them find us when they are
looking for a vending service. So, our leads do
not normally come in groups from one area at a time.
So, no, we do not accept locating jobs.
Do you get leads for bulk candy or medical machines?
We do, but not nearly as many as we do for snack and
soda machines.
Is a combo machine counted as 1 machine or as 2 separate
machines?
A combo is counted as 1 machine, but you can only use a
combo if it is adequate for a location. In other words,
don't try to use a combo in a location of 100 employees.
If a location is requesting machines that are just
unreasonable, such as a cold food machine for 25
employees, should I even consider taking that account?
Keep in mind, when a location fills out the form
requesting service, the person making the request may
not be the decision maker and may just pick everything
that sounds nice without first considering what is
reasonable or how feasible this is for a vendor.
So, don't disregard requests such as this because often,
when you meet with them and explain what all is involved
and the food waste that would occur, they will come back
to reality and do what you suggest.
What is the best way to close
on a location lead?
Anyone can provide a vending service; so what are they
really looking for in you... Confidence.
Ultimately, they simply want to feel assured that you
know what you are doing and handle your business in a
professional manner - not as a hobby that may change.
Usually, they have experienced poor vending service in
the past and are evaluating you on everything from your
business cards to your attitude. Be Professional!
