Many vending businesses try to start by buying an existing vending route and then attempt to expand that route. Especially if you know of a route for sale, or know a lot of business owners in a given area, or plan to use a vending locator to secure additional locations to expand your route, this may be a very logical way to proceed.

Finding the vending machine locations you want and then talking the business owners who run those businesses into letting you use their establishment for your vending machine location, are two completely different things. No matter how well you know the local business owner you are trying to sell on your machine, you must remember he is focused on growing his business, not helping you grow yours.

In fact, there are times when presenting a vending machine location to a friend can even work against you in that your friend may expect additional perks from you because you are friends. Certainly, you want to focus on what's in it for him and for his business as he allows you to use his vending location for your machines. Paying him a generous commission is never an economical way to secure a candy machine location, for instance, because there really usually isn't enough activity or profit in that type of vending location to be able to afford to share the profits.

You need to exhaust all of the arguments you have for why or how your vending machine location can be good for this business' growth or be able to explain how your machine has better selection, better candy or is less expensive to operate than the machine you are trying to replace. What is in it for the business owner, his business or his customers? Perhaps you can fit a machine with multiple selections into a vending location where the existing machine offers just one type of product.

The aggressive vending machine entrepreneur  may want to hire a vending machine locator to secure vending locations for his machines. Especially as his route begins to expand and his personal contacts begin to be exhausted, a vending locator brings new possibilities to the table through contacts of his own, prior local area vending placements he has made, and a completely different presentation as to why the business owner may want to allow this machine into his business.

A vending machine locator may already have placed a machine in several locations along your vending route and be on a first name basis with an owner you have never met. He may be able to offer a package of machines of which your candy machine location or soda machine location is only part of the package. He may have numerous other options to present to a business owner that you do not have or have never thought of at all.

As convincing location managers to let you place your machines on their premises is his main function, a vending machine locator may simply be better at making all of the necessary assertions in the right order than you and just be able to convince more owners to say yes. He may also be more persuasive or spend more time, be more patient or be more objective than you. There is also no question that two people contacting businesses can make more contacts and secure more locations than one person.
