Stay away from Target Marketing for your locations. I just fielded 25 machines about 3 weeks ago and I am invoking their "replacement location" warranty on at least 20 of them if not more. Has anyone worked with the telesales locators that are housed in the same building with CC? They do everything over the phone instead of sending a sales rep out and have supposedly scored some great locations; again this is according to CC, so who actually knows.

Just curious if I had a few new CC machines, should I trust your offer of $2,000. I mean would you send a cashiers check or wire part of the cost to cover the shipping. I would need a good deal of trust to accept your deal.

Good faith in a deal works both ways. Actually if possible, if I were you, I would fly out and look at the machines before laying out $2,000 each. Like I have said before, I'm very conservative when it comes to doing deals with new companies or private parties. I hate parting with my hard earned money.

mwhite,
I think they are called costal locators, they are just as bad as Target, if not worse. I paid for 3 locations, they goot me 2, in the process of locating the 2 I actually landed the 3rd location on my own. They still have not sent me a credit for 1 location yet. In this business I am finding out more each day to just try to locate yourself. Also stay away from Aron at All City Locators, he is a scam too.

Very well put Entre- this is still sales- the ultimate goal here is to buy low and sell high. Do your homework and don't expect something to be handed to you. I don't fault CC at all for selling at high prices. If people don't buy, they can't sell.

One does about a can a day and the other does 1 1/2 cans a day. there not moving until I get another location, a can a day is better than my garage. I am hoping that they pick up with summer coming

Mr. Zabe (although you don't have any machines heheh), and others that want to sell their machines from CC, please email me at:

CVenergyvending@gmail.com

The cost to fly out to see a $2000 product wouldn't be cost effective. We can discuss all the details and come to a mutual agreement on terms.

Cool. I try and bring up points that might help but as you can see,I do fly blind in that I do not know the details of each situation.

My Dad and I play this brain storming game. We will read or hear a news story and then try to pick out all the possible key elements. My brain has been trained to think like that. The problem is that I am forced to make some assumptions that may or may not be true for each person or situation.

Veruca- I actually am getting a 3 machine package from CC. After a few weeks daily calls, and my repetative answer of "I am coming up with the funds", they lowered the minimum package.

For those of you that are selling less than 5 cans a day- spend every day hitting new locations, reformulating your sales pitch, research sales in general, and GET MORE SALES heh. In my performa, I am using 8 cans a day. In my own calculations of expanding, I am assuming 10. I will not be suprised if the locations I have secured sell upward of 20-50 on a good day. Veruca brought up a good point- the location isn't everything, promotion will increase the sales. IE I have been authorized to put flyers on every apt door informing the 1000+ college residents about the new vending machines...ooo finals are coming up...anyone think I will sell Red Bulls?
