Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Do I need a contract with my locations?
“Gramps” David J. V., Ludington, Michigan
Answer : It depends on the type of vending machine you have. In general, contracts are used with snack and soda machines. A contract is merely a way to set out the terms that the parties are agreeing to. The use of a contract can often resolve issues that might arise later. I typically recommend having one.
But realize your contract will mean nothing, regardless of the words, if they don’t want you there. If you’re not servicing your equipment or not paying commissions timely, they will put your vending machine in their back room – or if it’s electrical, just unplug it.
You stay in a location by the way you conduct business. Not by a piece of paper.
Question : Do I need experience to start a new vending machine business?
Walter R., West Bloomfield, Michigan
Answer : No. This is a simple business.
Question : How much money do vendors make?
Marge F., Toledo, Ohio
Answer : That’s up to you. I know vendors that are satisfied earning $1,000/month, others who panic when their income drops below $20,000/ month.
Question : Do I have to sell or have sales experience?
Leland K., Mission Viejo, California
Answer : No. But if you do have sales experience, you will save money in locating fees if we contract for me to teach you how to locate. See the section: “Locator Training”.
