How to start in the vending business?
Unfortunately, here is how MOST people start in the vending business.
Answer a newspaper ad or magazine ad; watch a dreamy videotape of attend a vending business opportunity seminar. Listen as the salesperson gets you dreaming of dollars dancing into your bank account as your sleeping or playing golf. Gladly pay way too much money for a few machines without doing any comparison shopping. Go into debt before learning anything about actually operating a vending machine business. Take every word the vending business opportunity salesperson says as the whole truth. Get disappointed in a month or two and sell your machines for pennies on the dollar. OR, do the research; find out what the bizop salespeople aren't telling you. Buy machines for very little money and slowly build your business.

Testimonial
I wanted to thank you for the great information in your e-book. I read it as soon as I received it. I am sure you get many of these types of letters, but I though it wouldn't hurt for you to hear one more story.
I was very seriously considering buying one of the packages you spoke about, machines, location services, product etc. I was actually in the process of rounding up the money. They wanted all the money up front, which actually made me uncomfortable, no 50% down and 50% upon receipt.
So the rest goes without saying.
I also zeroed in on the locating company section of your book. I was so excited to here they would be doing the locating. Silly me, I had envisioned a professional high end company with talented marketing and sales teams calling all there wonderful leads placing my machines in the best of the best locations because they had market research and demographic info on the communities businesses, educational institutions, hospitals, factories etc. and that they had working relationships with them.
Thank you, Thank you! So now if I still decide to proceed with this venture I would be going into it with my eyes wide open. Not sure I want to do it at this point.
Thank you for saving me from a potential mistake...they do not have any of my money or contracts from me. Now if I choose to do this I have some good information and directions as a result of your book. $20 was well worth it!
Thank you so much,

Make sure that a location is aware you want to be their vending solution. We once walked into a snack/pop location we had serviced for years only to find a full size coffee machine right beside our equipment. When we asked why they didn't ask us to put a full size coffee machine in, they said, "Oh!, we didn't know you do coffee too!". (A costly mistake for us)
