There is the real vending business, and then there are people salespeople trying to sell you a "vending business opportunity".
We got started in the vending business after attending a business opportunity showcase. It took us some disappointment and mistakes to realize that there was a lot of information missing from the vending opportunities presentation. "The Vending Business" is sometimes slickly packaged by the bizop guys and usually presented in a seminar, slick magazine ad or internet website. They get you counting all that change and dreaming of all that cash, instead of focusing on the basics of running a vending business.
Why?
Running a vending business ISN'T glamorous! It actually requires some work. It is sometimes hard, and it’s a REAL business. The "business opportunity promoters" sell the idea of "making hundreds and hundreds of dollars per hour WILE YOU SLEEP!" It's a very desirable, emotional sales technique. We'll admit it. We fell for it! The emotional pitch is what is sold us when we decided to spend to much money on a "vending business opportunity package".
Please, if you have been to a vending seminar, or answered a magazine or newspaper ad, do some research on the actual business. Find out about the vending business and don't solely rely on the information from the vending opportunities.
