You are one good location away from a different month. Most weeks, the hard part is knowing which door to walk through. This week we worked on that.
What shipped this week
Subscribers hear about these first. All five are live now.
Company info is free. In the Lead Finder you can now see what a building is, roughly how many people work there and how it rates as a location without spending anything. Credits are only for the contact: the person's name, email and phone.
Every email is checked before you see it. When you unlock a contact, the address has already been tested. Fewer bounces, fewer wasted mornings.
A meeting kit for each building. Once you have a contact, the app can write what to bring to that meeting: talking points, questions to ask, answers to the objections you'll hear, which machines fit, and a one-page leave-behind.
A Home tab. It shows where you are on the way to your first signed location, and the next step from there.
Verify Business is free on every plan. Check that a business is real and open before you drive there.
What's working: three questions before you pitch
Operators who place machines that earn tend to ask the same three things before they ask for the spot.
How many people are in the building on a normal day? Count the cars in the lot at 10 a.m. if nobody will tell you.
What hours are they there? A second or third shift has nowhere else to buy food at 2 a.m.
What can they already buy without leaving? A break room with nothing in it is an easy yes. A cafeteria down the hall is a harder one.
If the answers are "a lot", "long hours" and "not much", you have a building worth a walk-in. If you get two out of three, pitch it anyway.
Do this today
Pick five buildings within 15 minutes of home. Answer the three questions for each one from the parking lot or from your phone. Circle the best one and walk in on Monday.
If a manager asks whether you have a website, have one. A single page with your name, your area and a way to reach you is enough, and you can build it in an afternoon with Wix. (Partner link: VendBuddy may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.)
