A must read for anyone running a vending business, September 7, 2005
This review is from: Cash Locations: A step-by-step guide to securing the best money-making locations for your vending machines (Digital)
It is no secret that vending, like real estate, is a location game. You can have beautiful, state-of-the-art vending machines. But if you put them in bad locations, they won't make any money for you. Conversely, you could still make money if you put old, run-down machines in great locations. The challenge is finding these great locations that will make you lots of money. Ronnie Talent is an expert in this area, having grown his business to 428 machines in only 18 months.
While most books on vending include a chapter or two on how to get great locations, Cash Locations is the first book devoted entirely to this important subject. Here are some of the topics covered in the book that I found to be most valuable for someone running a vending business:
* The basics of sales for people who don't have any previous experience in sales. (The book also includes lots of advanced techniques for people who have experience selling.)
* Scripts that you can use when talking to locations.
* Techniques for getting referrals for potential locations for your machines from almost anyone you talk to
* How the ideal place to put a machine varies for different types of machines
* Examples of other types of creative, location-specific products you can sell in your machines
* Case studies of real people who have succeeded in vending (and how they did so)
* Examples of flyers that you can give to businesses
I strongly recommend this book for anyone who owns a vending business. For someone who is just starting out in vending, I recommend first reading both Talent's other e-book, Vending Jackpot, and Vending Business-In-A-Box. (Full disclosure: I wrote Vending Business-In-A-Box.) (Both of these books will help you to avoid scams and to get your business off to a fast start.)

Best Guide, September 21, 2005
This review is from: Cash Locations: A step-by-step guide to securing the best money-making locations for your vending machines (Digital)
If you are considering going into the vending business or already in it, this is the book to get. You can save yourself a lot of time and money by following the advise that is given here. I just got into vending on a part time basis and I saved myself over $6,000 by following the authors advise.
I was ready to spend about $7,500 for 20 machines from a business opportunity I found on the internet. I bought 13 machines on ebay and am placing the machines myself and I have only spent about $1,300.
Thanks again Ronnie for your great easy to follow advise.
