I am often emailed and ask to recommend locating companies for vending machines. I simply can't!

In all the years we vended, and all the conventions we attended, we never met a successful vendor who was happy with ANY locating company. It seems that the great majority of the locating companies for vending machines are fly by night operations who hire down-on-their-luck salespeople to blitz a town. They pay these "placement specialists" very poorly and they work on a commission basis. These locators will say whatever it takes to convince a location to put a machine in. Then you walk in and have no idea what was said. So when asked to recommend locating companies for vending machines I simply can't. Locating is one of the most important parts of building a successful vending business. Learn to do it yourself. Once you start you'll realize it really isn't all that tough.

Would you start a painting company without learning how to paint?
