TL;DR:
Securing new locations on Vending Village isn’t like buying a product off the shelf. When working with an Agent, introduce yourself and position why you’re the best operator to be selected. When the meeting time comes, show up professional, on time, and ready to pitch your service.
1) Securing the listing: it’s not automatically yours
When you secure a vending machine location on Vending Village, the listing is not automatically assigned to you. The Agent is acting as a coordinator between you and the location’s decision maker. With both parties best interest in mind.
Your role is to position yourself as the right operator.
Let the agent know:
- Who you are and your experience
- Why you’re the best candidate
- What services you offer (machines, restocking, maintenance, payments)
- Your goals for the location
Also confirm your availability for the introduction and site visit. The agent is working with both you and the property manager, so clear communication helps move the deal forward.
2) Run the meeting like a service introduction
When you arrive, avoid positioning it as ownership.
Do not say: “I secured this location on Vending Village, it’s mine now.”
Instead, show up:
- In person
- On time
- Professional and prepared
- Treat it as a new client meeting. Let the location speak first -understand their concerns, goals, and requirements.
- Take notes and align your service to what they need. If required, have a contract ready for them to review and sign so next steps are clear.
This is especially important when evaluating vending machines with location - the location has final say to agree to work with you.
3) Update the agent after the meeting
After the meeting, close the loop with the agent.
Share:
- How the meeting went
- The outcome and next steps
- Any concerns raised by the location
- Any concerns on your side
The agent is on your side as well as the location. Keep them informed so they can support the process and help resolve any issues.
