Why Speed Matters in Finding a Vending Location? 🤔

Finding the right vending location doesn’t have to take weeks or months. In fact, with the right strategy, you can secure a high-traffic, profitable location in just 7 days.

The key is to work smart, not hard—leveraging digital tools, outsourcing key tasks, and making data-driven decisions.

By following a structured process, you avoid wasted time and maximize your chances of landing a prime vending spot quickly.

Step 1: Use a Data Scraper to Generate Leads in 48 Hours 🔍

Why it Matters

The key to landing a vending location quickly is targeting the right businesses. Driving around aimlessly looking for spots is inefficient. Instead, use a data scraper to build a targeted list of high-traffic locations in just 48 hours.

How to Do It

First, hire a data scraper from platforms like Fiverr or Upwork. These freelancers can quickly gather a list of businesses in your target area.

Next, provide them with specific criteria:

• Location type: Gyms, office buildings, bars, apartment complexes, laundromats, car washes.

• High foot traffic: Places with at least 500+ daily visitors.

• Business contact details: Name, phone number, and email of the key decision-makers.

In 48 hours, you’ll have a ready-to-go list of 50+ potential vending locations.

💡 Prefer DIY? Use tools like Google Maps, Yelp, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator to find locations manually.

Step 2: Hire a Cold Caller to Pitch Your Vending Services ☎️

Why it Matters

Reaching out to decision-makers is the hardest part of securing a vending location. Cold calling is time-consuming, and many owners struggle with rejection. Instead, hire a professional cold caller to do it for you.

How to Do It

As per usual, first thing you need to do is to post a job on Fiverr or Upwork for an experienced cold caller.

Next thing, provide them with a script that highlights:

• How your vending machine benefits the business (convenience, extra revenue, employee satisfaction).

• Minimal effort required from the business (you handle everything from stocking to maintenance).

• Success stories from similar locations.

But, you should expect to pay $150–$200 for a caller to reach out to 100+ businesses. With that, they’ll book meetings with interested locations within a few days.

Pro tip: You can do it yourself with our Cold Call Playbook Script. Grab your copy and pitch your vending services confidently 😉

Step 3: Secure the Location by Day 7 🔐

Why it Matters

At this point, you have meetings lined up with business owners. This is where you close the deal and lock in your vending location.

How to Do It

Come prepared: Bring a one-page sales flyer or brochure (design one on Canva, or use the template we prepared just for you).

Pitch effectively: Explain how your vending machine will keep employees or customers on-site instead of leaving for snacks or essentials.

Address concerns: Be ready to answer common objections (maintenance, revenue share, machine placement, etc.).

Seal the deal: If they’re interested, don’t wait—get a signed agreement before another vendor moves in.

Pro Tip: Offer a trial period (30–60 days) to lower resistance; that’s what you’d call your “guarantee”—once they see the value, they’ll be more likely to sign a long-term contract.

🚨 Bonus: Alternative Ways to Find Locations

If you have more time and want to go beyond cold calling, try these methods:

• Networking & Referrals: Tap into local business networking groups, attend chamber of commerce meetings, and connect with property managers.

• LinkedIn Outreach: Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to find and message decision-makers.

• Direct Mail Marketing: Send personalized letters or postcards to potential locations (Vistaprint is great for this)

• Door-to-Door Visits: Sometimes, walking into a business and introducing yourself is the most effective approach. Bring a flyer and business card!
