In partnership with

Most people who want a vending business read about it for months. Three things changed this week to cut that short, and all three start in the VendBuddy app.

1. The 30-Day Sprint is open for four days

One email a day for 30 days. Each one gives you a single job toward your first signed location and a "done when" line, so you know when to stop for the day. Build the list, find who decides, write the pitch, walk in, follow up, handle the objections, get the agreement signed, pick the machine, stock it, set up your numbers.

It takes about 30 to 60 minutes a day. Most operators we talk to put in 5 to 10 hours a week at the start, and the sprint is built for exactly that. Nobody can promise you a signed location in 30 days. What the sprint does is make sure you did the work that gets one.

It costs $9.99, because people who pay, pay attention. Day 1 arrives right after you join, and the launch window closes four days after this email lands.

2. Android users: test the app before it goes live

The VendBuddy app for Android is in testing, and we want operators using it in the field before it reaches the Play Store. If you are on an Android phone:

  1. Open the tester link on your phone: join the Android test.

  2. Tap "Accept invite", then install it from the Play Store page that opens.

  3. If Play says the app is not available to you, reply to this email with the Google account you use on your phone. We will add you and send you the link again.

Tell us what breaks, what is slow, and what you reach for that is not there. Every reply gets read.

3. On an iPhone? Tell us you want it

The iPhone app comes next, and how soon depends on how many of you ask. Two quick questions: would you use it, and what do you like or dislike about VendBuddy so far.

4. Referrals now pay 30% for 12 months

If you know someone starting a route, sending them our way now pays a lot more than it did:

  • 30% of every payment they make for their first 12 months.

  • 35% once 5 of your referrals are paying, and 40% once 10 are.

  • 10% on the paying customers of other affiliates you bring in.

  • 25 credits for each person who signs up through your link, verifies their email and uses their first credit.

Your link and your current tier are on the referral page. Commission is paid on money we actually collect, after a 30-day hold.

Silver Miners Have Outrun Silver Since 2020

Since March 2020, silver has returned about 402%. The silver miners returned 445%.

That gap is the leverage our research team focuses on. When silver rises, a producer's net asset value can rise much faster, and share prices tend to follow. It works in both directions, and a mine is only as good as the company running it.

The Ultimate Silver Playbook shows how the team separates the miners worth owning from the rest, and which silver stocks are on its watchlist now. It's free.
