I didn't even know 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 5: that there were new use machines. How where do we 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 5: even get this? 31 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: Like? 32 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 6: Where am I finding a new machine? Where do I go? 33 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 4: So, I mean new machines you could get from like 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 4: the man the manufacturers actually making like coke, PEPSI like 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 4: those type of places you can buy and trade from them. 36 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 5: Those are where the new machines come from. And we're 37 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 5: talking about actual what I mean, there's different types. We're 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 5: talking about food vending machines. 39 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 4: So we're talking about soda snacks. They do have food, 40 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 4: they have ice cream machines. There's a lot of different 41 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 4: different types. So if you're talking about used machines, which 42 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 4: is you know, I use use machines, and that's what 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 4: I recommend everybody else use, mainly because it's easier to 44 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 4: maintain and it's a lot more affordable. 45 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: Like the price is nowhere close to you know, five 46 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 3: thousand dollars. 47 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 4: You can get a used machine for around nine hundred, 48 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: which is what my first machine was. And you can 49 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 4: find those on places such as like crackslists offer up Amazon, 50 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 4: let go, it might be a little more Amazon. And 51 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 4: then the only reason I wouldn't I would say not 52 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 4: to get it off like a platform where it's like online, 53 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 4: because I would recommend you checking the machine out first. 54 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: You don't want to get it and get it in, get. 55 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: It where you don't put it, and then it's not 56 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: working right, and then you have to ship it back 57 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 4: like that's a that's a long process. 58 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: You said, let go, Yeah, what's what's that? So it's 59 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: an app? It's a app. 60 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, so let go offer a Facebook market. But it 61 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 4: just depends that. And another thing is it matters is 62 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 4: how are you how are you trying to scale this? 63 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: Do you wanted this to be on some side hustle 64 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: passive income stuff or do you want to grow it 65 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: into like a full time business, Because if you're just 66 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 4: doing it as a side hustle just turned maxtual Baldom assign, 67 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 4: you know, using those resources such as like you know 68 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 4: Cress is fine, but if you really want to do 69 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: it like for a time, you want to find like 70 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 4: what I what I call vending warehouses. So a vending 71 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 4: warehouse is just a vending company that is large enough 72 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: to sell you vending machines. So that's kind of how 73 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: we make our money. On the back end, I might 74 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 4: have some machines setting around and then our cellos to 75 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: anybody who's looking to buy it. 76 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: Where do you find vending warehouses? 77 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: So you would have to. 78 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 4: Google vending machine companies in your area and then contact 79 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 4: them and see if they say. 80 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: It's all like regional. It's all regional. 81 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, after I order it, I'm thinking to myself, right 82 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 5: now I'm ordering machine. Uh, probably need the location first, right, 83 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 5: because they're going to send that to your house, right, 84 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 5: So do they send it to What happens after. 85 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 6: I order it? 86 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: So you could you could pick it the machine up 87 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 4: first for our I recommend to people always always always 88 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 4: get the machine after you have the location, for multiple reasons. 89 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 4: Because if you go out and you get excited, Okay, 90 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: I'm going to vending thing. I see a cheap soda machine. 91 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 4: This is a great deal. 92 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 6: You buy it. 93 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: Maybe you got it in your garage or something like that. 94 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 4: You don't know what type of location you're gonna get first. 95 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 4: So that means you don't know what that location is 96 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: going to need. Maybe they already got a sort of machine, maybe. 97 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: They need a slack machine. Maybe it won't fit right. 98 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 4: And then that's another thing. You don't know what the 99 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 4: measurements are for the space they have to put the machine. 100 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 4: So it could be the machine you make you could 101 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 4: have maybe too big, maybe it's too big to fit 102 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 4: through the doorway. Maybe it's too big for the space 103 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 4: that they actually want the machine. So it's always best 104 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 4: to wait until you get that location you know, on paper, 105 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 4: and then you go out and get your machine. But 106 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 4: on the flip side, you also want to know your 107 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 4: resources first, Like you want to know where you're getting 108 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: that machine from prior to you know, finding your location. 109 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: So like what what's some typical are they like typical 110 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: profit margins? Like how much money can should a person 111 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: expect to make off of like one machine? 112 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 4: So an average a good a good location, Well you'll 113 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 4: see around five hundred dollars for the foot per machine. Right, 114 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 4: most locations have two machines, you know what I'm saying, 115 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: unless it's like a combo if most of the time, 116 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 4: if you'll find a combo machine, it's in a smaller 117 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 4: in a smaller space because they can't fit two machines, 118 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 4: or it's because maybe it's a slower that has slower traffic, 119 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: lower traffic, and you don't want to put two machines 120 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 4: in there, you know that type of situation. So like 121 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 4: a thousand dollars, if you have two machines and one location, yeah, 122 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 4: that's about that's right. 123 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 5: When you have to find locations, you obviously looked at 124 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 5: your life. You said, look, I played ball here, I'm 125 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 5: gonna put one here. That's my high school, that's my barbershop. 126 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 5: What does the average person have to do in terms 127 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 5: of finding locations? 128 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 4: So step one now, now to be honest with y'all, 129 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 4: Like I had experience in like different marketing before beforehand, 130 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 4: so I was already kind of seasoned season with UH 131 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 4: networking and more and reaching people and calling all that 132 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 4: type of stuff. The wholesaling I did do whole something, 133 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, so I use those same type of tactics 134 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: to find locations, because it was I learned a lot 135 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 4: from actually going out and trying to find properties, you 136 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying when I was doing the whole 137 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 4: selling thing. 138 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 3: So the first thing I did was network. 139 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 4: So I reached out to everybody around me, all my friends, 140 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 4: all my family members, let them know what I was doing. 141 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 4: And this through doing that, it led me to having 142 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 4: like my first few locations, you know what I'm saying. 143 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 4: So that's how I ended up getting a school I 144 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: do this name, which is my prior high school. I 145 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 4: talked to them, you know, they let me place a 146 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 4: vending machine in there, and it led me to you know, 147 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 4: getting a few other spots. 148 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: You know, I'm just thinking about it. A lot of 149 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 2: places that yeah they have two vending machines, like a 150 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: community center, a school. Yeah, you have two vending machines. Thought, 151 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: I never thought about that before. I mean, or trying 152 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: to cut you off. You can have two vending machines 153 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: right next to each other, Like one is sodas and drinks, 154 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 2: the other one is candies and chips and stuff. 155 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, they always like right next. 156 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 2: To me, right next to each other. So that's not 157 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 2: bad if you think about it, Like a thousand dollars, 158 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 2: that's it's like you could be getting rental income easy, 159 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: but it's a lot less overhead as far as buying 160 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: a home. 161 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, So that was what I was gonna say two things. 162 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 5: Well, first, when these big corporations, like if I see 163 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 5: a Coca Cola machine, right, that's a vendor machine. Can 164 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 5: I purchase that from it? Or is the corporation putting 165 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: that in that location? Because you could have two vendom 166 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 5: machines and then they have all coke products? Can you 167 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 5: purchase that? 168 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: Can you purchase it from from like Coca Cola? 169 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 6: Is that like a thing? Can you get a vendom 170 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 6: machine from a corporation. 171 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: You're talking about as far as have if the machine 172 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 4: is placed somewhere or if there is manufacturing the machines. 173 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 5: Well, so I'm thinking in terms of I have my 174 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 5: vendom machine, you right, I have two of them there, 175 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 5: and then there's like a coke machine those coke products. 176 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 6: Is that something like the average person can purchase or 177 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 6: is just straight from the corporation? 178 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: So so all right, so Coke does Coke actually places 179 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 4: machines themselves. So but what they'll do is they don't 180 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 4: they actually just will place the machine, right, But the 181 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: thing is the person they would have to like charge 182 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 4: a certain amount the products, so the products. Once you 183 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 4: buy a certain amount of products from from Coke, they'll 184 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 4: play they get you, they get a place of vending 185 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 4: machine for free, so and then they'll service it or whatever. 186 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 7: Like. 187 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 4: So if you're talking about like if that machine is there, 188 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 4: most more than likely your machine won't be there because 189 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 4: they'll have some type of contract with Coca Cola and 190 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 4: they're not gonna let nobody else in there. 191 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: So as far as location, because I know you said 192 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: that you had a couple of different keys, foot traffic, isolation, 193 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: waiting rooms, so all of these different things. But before 194 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: you even get to that, how do you approach somebody 195 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: to put a vending machine in their place? 196 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 5: Like? 197 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: All right, so you you see a school, like, what's 198 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: the process to say, Hey, can I put a vendo 199 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: machine here? I talked to the principle, Yeah, how does 200 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: that work? 201 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 3: So that's that's a good question. 202 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 4: Man. That's a lot of questions everybody asks us. But 203 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 4: at all I really do is I'll approach whoever the 204 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 4: receptionist is that that first point of contact, and I'll 205 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: ask them who I need to speak to to place 206 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 4: a machine here. So it's usually the person that everybody 207 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 4: usually has a person who's in charge of doing business. 208 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 4: So the high school as a you know, a business manager, 209 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 4: I had to talk to them. So if you're if 210 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 4: I'm going into a motel or something, most of the 211 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 4: time they have a business managers, you talk to them. 212 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 4: So it's just about asking that first point of contact. 213 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: Get you know, obviously if you can find a manager 214 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 4: or something like that, reach you, you could reach and 215 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 4: but then ask that person, who's the person who's that 216 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 4: I have to talk to? 217 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: That actually makes the decision. 218 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 5: So once you get in the high school, you get 219 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 5: into the recreation center, is there a fee that you 220 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 5: have to pay for being there or it is just 221 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 5: part of the profit margin you have to give to 222 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 5: the places? 223 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 6: Like how's that work? 224 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 4: So it's all about from my experience, it's all about 225 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: how you get that how you get that spot. So 226 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 4: if you have you have different resources you're using to 227 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 4: get locations. Right, If one thing that you could do 228 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 4: is you out, you go out yourself and you actually 229 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 4: look for locations, like you know, when we talk about 230 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 4: the whole other thing, it's called like driving for dollars, 231 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: Like you're he of that term, right, So that's a 232 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 4: method you go out driving around. I actually found the 233 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 4: laundrymat the other day just driving around. I wasn't even 234 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 4: looking for it, but I just happened to see it, 235 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 4: and actually I'll put it on Instagram. So I put 236 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 4: it on a live just to show people like this 237 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 4: is like, you know, how easy it is to find 238 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 4: something and if you're paying attention to what's around you. 239 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 4: So that's one method. And another method is like cold calling, 240 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 4: which is you just make a list of multiple places 241 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 4: and that that may be suitable for a vending machine 242 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: in your area that you're looking at place one like 243 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 4: using zip codes or whatever, and you know, and you 244 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 4: just call them if you're doing that method. Most of 245 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 4: the time I found when you found it like a 246 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 4: location like that, they ask for a commission because you're 247 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 4: asking to come into their space and do business like 248 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 4: you're asking for something from them right now. On the 249 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 4: flip side, you get a website right the top, the 250 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 4: most the top that the most common thing people do 251 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 4: is when they're looking for vending services. If you know, 252 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 4: you're just opened up your store, your business or whatever 253 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 4: it may be, it's Google, so they go right to 254 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 4: Google vendom Machine service and Philadelphia my joone is like 255 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 4: one of the top ones on there. So you click 256 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: on that, they they call you, They contact you, and 257 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 4: then they're going to ask you to place a vending 258 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 4: machine in their place of business. So most not in 259 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 4: that scenario. Most of the time they don't ask you 260 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 4: for a commission because they just want your service. They 261 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 4: want your service for their customers or for their employees 262 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 4: off for whatever reason. 263 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 3: It's just like, yoah, we just want your service. We're 264 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: not worried about commission. 265 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: So if you approach them, you got to pay them 266 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: most of the time. If they approach you, you don't 267 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: have to. 268 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: Pay most of the time most of the time. That's 269 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: how that goes. 270 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 4: That also depends on what type of place it is, 271 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 4: you know, because if you're dealing with like recreation centers 272 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 4: and schools, a lot of times those those facilities are 273 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 4: are like the prob the funds already, so they always 274 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 4: looking for different ways to supplement, you know, some income. 275 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 3: So they're going to bring that up. 276 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: So what kind of commission is fair? Like if somebody 277 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: I'll let you they had but heres, you gotta give 278 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: me twenty percent temper, Like, what's a fair amount that 279 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 2: a fear amount. 280 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 3: Really depends on the traffic and that location. 281 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 4: But you typically it's around ten percent, Yeah, ten percent 282 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 4: is like it's like a fear amount most of the 283 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 4: time if it's a good location. 284 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 6: So you you sit down, you say that we can 285 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 6: have the vending machine here. What we do next? Are 286 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 6: we jowing up a contract? 287 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: Right? 288 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 4: So at the point where they give me the person 289 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 4: of contact and they said they're interested and they I'll 290 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 4: schedule a meeting with them, so we're sit down like 291 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 4: we're talking. Now, I'll have a proposal, which is something 292 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: I came up with this from doing the meetings, and 293 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 4: it's all the information is in the proposal, which just 294 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 4: cuts down the meeting time. 295 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: So you know, in there is this about your business, 296 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: a little bit about yourself. 297 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 4: You want to put the products that you use, what 298 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 4: makes you different than other companies, your price points for 299 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 4: your products. Just present all that to them and then 300 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: you know, if they like that, then I also have 301 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 4: the contract there, so and if they're good with the contract, 302 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 4: you know we signed it right there. Do the deal 303 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 4: right there. Now, Sometimes it doesn't go that way. Sometimes 304 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 4: they might want certain contingencies or whatever in the contract. 305 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 4: So if they want that and you you asked, you 306 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 4: have you know, obviously you have to go back and 307 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 4: draw up a new contract. And get them to sign 308 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 4: that one. 309 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thinking of like the school, right, so I'm 310 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 5: thinking like one of the contendencies they may have is 311 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 5: like you can't certain a certain amount of sugar. 312 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, its certain certain products. And then it's like 313 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 4: some people will want your actual service hours in there, 314 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 4: or they'll want like if basically like if if something 315 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 4: goes wrong, you have to repair it by all this 316 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 4: amount of time type of thing like, so that stuff 317 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 4: is usually people usually tweak, but for the most part, 318 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 4: they did go about what's on the paper. 319 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: So okay, So as far as let's go back to location. 320 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 2: So like you said, you said foot traffic, accessibility, isolation, 321 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: and waiting rooms, those are like your four golden rules, right, oh, the. 322 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 4: One second toe. And then for the commission that I 323 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 4: never bring up commission. So never never sit down with 324 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 4: a location and say, all right, well this is the 325 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: out that we're paying commission. If they don't mention it, 326 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 4: oh yeah, no, no, no. Some people think that that's 327 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 4: like the pitching like point is like we can pay 328 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 4: you this much in commission, don't mention. 329 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 2: That, because it's not that that's a good that's a 330 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 2: good point because you might automatically assume that you have 331 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: to pay because you're you're in their space. But like 332 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: you said, it's kind of like an attraction where it's like, 333 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: like my son goes to camp. Every time I pick 334 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: him out, he's like, can you give me something on 335 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: the vending machine. So it's like, you know what I'm saying, 336 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: It's like the vending machine is actually helping in that 337 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: situation because it's like people something you might just walk 338 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: into a space just to use the vending machine. 339 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 5: Right, So that I'm now I'm thinking about from the 340 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 5: business standpoint, Having a school during the year is great. 341 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: Having a recreation center during the summer gold month all 342 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: kids want, well, no recreations. 343 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 4: Recreation centers doing the school year are good too because 344 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 4: they have different programs and they have basketball games and stuff. 345 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. So all right, so location, location, location is the 346 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: most important thing in real estate period. And I guess 347 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: it's no different from vending machine either. Right, you got 348 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: the best vending You could be giving away gold bars 349 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: if it's in the desert, didn't matter. So how do 350 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: you know what's a good look? I mean, obviously, well 351 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: I ala say, obviously, how do you know what's a 352 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: good location or not. 353 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 4: So I mean from what you just basically what you 354 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: just mentioned, but I picked them up as time went on, 355 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 4: just noticing different things. So when I'm walking into a location, 356 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 4: I go with a checklist. I don't really use it 357 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 4: anymore because I kind of like know now, but it's 358 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 4: best to have a checklist and use this. 359 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: And this is what you want to look for. 360 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 4: So you want to look for when you pull up 361 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 4: to the space, is it any stores around that building? 362 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 4: So when I say isolation, that that's what I'm talking about. 363 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 4: So I'll take a lap of two laps around. See 364 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 4: I'm looking for corner stores. I'm looking at this for 365 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 4: other places. 366 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 3: To eat, all right. 367 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: So if if I don't see no other places to eat, 368 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, so that's that's a good sign. 369 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: Right. 370 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 4: And then when I walk in the door, I'm looking 371 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 4: in terms of moving I'm looking for steps and all 372 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 4: that type of stuff because you have to move the 373 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: machine in there. When it terms of what makes it 374 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 4: a good location, I'm I'm looking to see where the 375 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 4: machine will be placed, all right. So I'm like, all right, well, 376 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 4: is it placed somewhere where it's visible and people could 377 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 4: see it? Because I had one situation where I had 378 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 4: a it was a hotel, wanted me to put a 379 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 4: machine in there, but they wanted a machine like in 380 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 4: the in the back way in the back where nobody 381 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 4: would see it. And on the flip side, it had 382 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 4: a gas station right next door. So when I was watching, 383 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 4: I'm watching people come in and they just making the 384 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 4: left turn right out or right to the gas station. 385 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 3: I'm like, the gas station is the place now that 386 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: they're gonna get. 387 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 4: They see the gas station because it's right because it 388 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 4: was a big glass you know door obviously, and it's 389 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 4: right there. Versus if that machine was placing in the lobby, 390 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: they just would have used the machine. Then nobody wants 391 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: to walk all to me over there if you ain't 392 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 4: got too only in the next show, right, So so 393 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 4: you know that's that's real iportant. It's important is is 394 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: it being visible and it being accessible to everyone? So 395 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 4: if everybody can use it, if it's visible, that that's 396 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 4: a good sign. Another thing I'm looking for is hours 397 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 4: of operation. So how long is this place open? Like 398 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 4: you said night shift? Some places open twenty four hours, right, 399 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 4: That gives you more selves versus it only being open 400 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 4: for nine to five, Like, so that's another that's another 401 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 4: cafeteria clothes now. 402 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 3: Right, So. 403 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 4: And then probably the last thing I'm looking for is 404 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 4: foot traffic, right, which is one of this is the 405 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 4: most important thing. 406 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 3: You want to see. 407 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 4: How many employees they got, how many people are visiting 408 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 4: this place, how many people are in and out coming 409 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 4: past this machine. 410 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the things you said, And as you 411 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 5: said it, I was like, wow, that's brilliant. Places that 412 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 5: have ideal time where people are just waiting. So I 413 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 5: would say that hospital, But when you just said laundry, Matt, 414 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 5: I'm thinking like, oh my gosh, yeah, like people are 415 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 5: sitting in there all day watching machines. 416 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: Though, No, laundry mats are big. Schools are big. Recreation 417 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: centers are big. Hospital is a. 418 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 3: Big, huge, and that's the number one. 419 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: Office buildings are big. Dorms dorms, college dorms. College dorms 420 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 2: are big. Yeah, yeah yeah. 421 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 3: And give give an example is Temple. We have a 422 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 3: Temple dorm. 423 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 4: God was doing business with that location that was around 424 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 4: thirty five hundred a month. 425 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 2: How many machine how many machines? 426 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 6: Who machines? 427 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 428 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,479 Speaker 6: Cosge kids don't have a lot of money and they 429 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 6: don't have the transportation. So if you put the vend machine. 430 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: And that's that's you, that's your machines. 431 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 3: This these to those two are mind it's the guy. Actually, 432 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: I know we were talking a little camera. 433 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 4: So another guy, one of my first my first mentee, 434 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 4: I helped him find a spot and that was the 435 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 4: spot that we got. 436 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty five hundred. That's that's the bread. 437 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 4: Two machines to two machines, thirty five and then on 438 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 4: top of that, since that building is to build the 439 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 4: way built, it could be more machines placed in there. 440 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 3: And you said, there's a difference in what I mean. 441 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 5: The older machines don't have something that's very important that 442 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 5: you said, and that's the card readers, right, because now 443 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 5: a lot of people don't have cash, but they do 444 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 5: have cars to use. 445 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 4: So what we do is we'll take the older machines 446 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 4: and add upgrades. So we might change the door. We 447 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 4: might use what we call like the lead lighting, so 448 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 4: you know the little light strips. Put that in the 449 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 4: door makes it a little brighter. Yeah, and we can 450 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 4: add to car readers, but we would just have to 451 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 4: change what's in there. It's called the circuit board. Okay, 452 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 4: expensive circuit board cross about two hundred dollars. Car readers 453 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 4: are about four hundred, so you're looking at to use 454 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 4: that as about additional six hundred dollars. But on the 455 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 4: flip side, those usually increase yourselves by at least thirty 456 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 4: forty percent, Like, so you know it's worth for actually 457 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 4: getting those on there if you know you planning on 458 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 4: doing it on a serious note. 459 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 2: So, okay, so as far as installation, right, how do 460 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: you know which products to put? So you're just buying 461 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: a machine, and you can put anything in the machine, correct, 462 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 2: anything you want? How do you know which products do 463 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 2: you do? 464 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 5: Like? 465 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: Okay, I like three those? So like how do you 466 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: how do you know like which is a good product? 467 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 4: Way, that's as asking the question, because all right, So 468 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 4: my first location that I got when I when I 469 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 4: said it was only doing only a few a few 470 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 4: dollars or whatever I was putting in there when I like, 471 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 4: so I had what I like, I'm walking through Sam's 472 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 4: cub like okay, this is good, this is good. 473 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 3: But after a while it was like, no, you you 474 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 3: have to put in what they want. 475 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 4: So what I like to do is in my first 476 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 4: if it's an office building or something like that, I'll 477 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 4: use a newsletter and outside the newsletter introducing my services, 478 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 4: and I'll give them an opportunity to put to tell 479 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 4: me what they want in the machine. That's like step one. 480 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: Other than that, it really comes down to demographics like this, 481 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 4: certain certain demographics certain to go avocado closing. The certain 482 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 4: groups of people like like like certain things. So from 483 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 4: my experience, I know if I'm dealing with a mostly 484 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 4: like Carcasian group, they tend to like more of like 485 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 4: the plane chips and like for like it for the 486 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 4: Plaine tips, where though if it might be more like, 487 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 4: you know, the flavorful barbecue type. Yeah, man, it just depends. 488 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 3: It depends what you're at. 489 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 4: But it's it's definitely dust to always let the people 490 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 4: tell you what they want and the inventory you're actually 491 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 4: going to get. 492 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 3: Right, So, like you will go into these warehouses market. 493 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: I go to. 494 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 4: I go to Sam's Club, so I go to most 495 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 4: mostly shop at Sam's Club, but I do have a 496 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 4: warehouse that I go to to get products. Now, the 497 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 4: thing with Sam's Club is it's good if you're just 498 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 4: doing it like small scale, but if you're buying like 499 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 4: variety boxes and chips and whatnot. They're going to put 500 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 4: a few, they're going to put the good tips in there. 501 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 4: Then they're going to put like a they always do 502 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 4: that selection and that right, and that's the way that's 503 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 4: not going to sell. So when you're doing that on 504 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 4: a larger scale, you have to keep buying those boxes 505 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 4: and boxes.

Remember you 675 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 5: used to put a quarter and then you don't remember, No, 676 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 5: I haven't seen it. Hosts like you put a cord 677 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 5: in and get a contraception. 678 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 2: That wow, yeah, that is that even legal? 679 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 3: I know, I know they got him out there like 680 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 3: the like here weave and eyelashes. 681 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: So you know what, what about medical marijuana? Marijuana period? 682 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 6: That too? 683 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 3: They got those out in California, they got the America. 684 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 4: So I'm not exactly sure how those operate because you 685 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 4: know that's that's regulated. So you need I D and 686 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 4: whatnot security that machine probably, Yeah, that's a little different, 687 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 4: but they do have dudes out there. 688 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 5: What about vandalism, Like, if somebody destroys your machine, how 689 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 5: does that you have insurance on it? 690 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 6: Yeah? 691 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 3: I haven't. 692 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 4: I had that happen before once. But yeah, so basically, 693 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 4: if somebody destroys it, messes up. You just if you 694 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 4: got insurance on it, then you cover. 695 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 3: If not, you know, you can go through any insurance company. 696 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 3: Got close State Farm and literally. 697 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 4: I'm not sure if it's any I know State Farm 698 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 4: is one, but it's this regular regular insurance companies covered. 699 00:29:59,080 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 6: Is it crazy? 700 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 3: No, it's not price at all. It's not price at all. 701 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: You would recommend always having that, I would record. 702 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 4: I would definitely recommend having insurance. But the thing is 703 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 4: when you actually go through the process, but picking out 704 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 4: a good location, if you're meeting the criteria, it's hard 705 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 4: to do vandalism because if the machine is somewhere open 706 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 4: and somewhere is you know, it's if it's in that 707 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 4: and if a place is always you know, has long hours, 708 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 4: most of some of their security, and mostly nine times 709 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 4: out of ten that's that been the machine is somewhere 710 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 4: near that security, like wherever it's sitting at in the 711 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 4: lobby somewhere, so it's always gonna be somewhere where people 712 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 4: where people see it. And like it's always if it's 713 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 4: foot traffic, it's gonna be. If it's good foot traffic, 714 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 4: then people are always going to be around. So it's 715 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 4: hard to vandalyze. 716 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know machines or some place with cameras like 717 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: a school or community center. 718 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 6: Mins. 719 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,719 Speaker 4: Minds happened more so when I had it in that motel, 720 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 4: were talking when it's shut down. It was like when 721 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 4: I went back there, it. 722 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 2: Was over what's the what's the life span of a machine? 723 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 3: That's a great question. 724 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I have some machines I haven't had any 725 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 4: issues with, like since I had and some of them 726 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 4: you get it's just like problems I had woman machine 727 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 4: in particular, that's it's always giving me a problem. 728 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 3: I actually switched it out recently. 729 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 6: What type of problems? Like the mechanical doesn't dispense the merchandise. 730 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 4: No, So a Bendom machine really is only about it's 731 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 4: about three parts. You got your your bill accepted. A 732 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 4: lot of people think like, oh what about that's that's 733 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 4: one of the questions. I get a lot too. What 734 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 4: about the cost of maintenance. I don't really mainten The 735 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 4: cost of maintenance isn't high at all. Like it's really 736 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 4: like it's rare that something goes wrong with those machines. 737 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 4: But you got your bill acceptor your coin mechanism which 738 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 4: is where you put the coins in and then you 739 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 4: have your your board. 740 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 3: So your board is like the thing everything. 741 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 5: Is connected to the press east four No, but yeah, basically, 742 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 5: but that that runs to a little board that's inside 743 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 5: of the machine, right, And those are the main three 744 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 5: parts that the coils and stuff don't really that. 745 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 4: Those are run by little motors, but those don't really 746 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 4: go bad. Those are typically okay with the with the 747 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 4: The thing that gets the most used is the bill 748 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 4: accepted because people are always putting the bills in there 749 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 4: or whatever. I probably switched that out probably ever, like 750 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 4: maybe like two years or something. But if you're if 751 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 4: you're taking care of the right way, you're gonna have 752 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 4: to do that. I'm bad at that part, but you 753 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 4: know you could have. You could order a thing off Amazon. 754 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 4: It's like a little sticky It looks like a sticky card. 755 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 4: You put it in there and then pull it out 756 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 4: and it pulls all the dirt and stuff out of 757 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 4: the the bullet accept that, which helps it keeps it 758 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 4: clean because what's in there is it's a reader. So 759 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 4: once that reader gets to like dirty or too like 760 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 4: you know, beat up, it doesn't work anymore. 761 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,479 Speaker 2: So how do you all? 762 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 7: Right? 763 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 2: So the money you collect just you know you're going in. 764 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 2: But like the credit card that gets goals in that 765 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 2: process and that goes like directly to like a PayPal. 766 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 3: Account, it goes directly to the bank account, the. 767 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 2: Bank account. 768 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 3: Right in, but it goes it doesn't go right in, 769 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 3: it goes to. 770 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 4: That that service. It goes to that provider's account. Then 771 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 4: they have a payout and then they put similar to 772 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 4: what you. 773 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 3: Would use like what I can shop. 774 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, like shoot your payout date and then on those 775 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 4: dates you get paid out for whatever card read of 776 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 4: seals that you had. 777 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 6: What about the process of buying and selling routes. I 778 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 6: know sometimes you said that if there is a. 779 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 5: Slow time, you might want to sell that machine or 780 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 5: sell that route, and talk about that a little bit. 781 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, So I mean in the business, you know, obviously 782 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 4: the bulk, the bulk of your money is going to 783 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 4: come from you selling products out of your machine. But 784 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 4: it's also other ways to make money once you get going, 785 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 4: of which one of the best ways is, like you 786 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 4: just said, buying and selling routes. So I might like 787 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 4: for the perfect the perfect scenario or the best scenario 788 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 4: I had with buying, buying a route, and selling it 789 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,719 Speaker 4: was I brought a route for thirty five hundred. Now, 790 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 4: originally the guy was trying to charge me like seven 791 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 4: thousand forward or something like that. I was like, no, 792 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 4: I'm okay, I'm not even really desperately, I'm not really 793 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 4: looking for anything. 794 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 3: But you know, he couldn't sell it. So he came 795 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 3: back to me. He was like, you know, I still 796 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 3: got this route. I'll give it to you for thirty five. 797 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay. So I'm looking at it. 798 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 4: It's six it's six Vendom machines, and it's three locations. 799 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 4: So I'm like, man's that's that's like a giveaway. 800 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I'll take it for thirty five. 801 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 2: So I brought it. 802 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 3: I checked out the locations. 803 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 4: Two of the locations I didn't I didn't like, so 804 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, this location is bad, but it was 805 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 4: good machines in there. 806 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 3: The other location was bad. One location was good. 807 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 4: So what I did was I kept a good location 808 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 4: and I sold the other two locations for thirty five apiece. 809 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 4: So I ended up making a profit of seven thousand 810 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 4: off of that situation. So that's just another way to 811 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 4: make money on the back. And so if you're into. 812 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 3: Buying routes, you could just buy a route out. Maybe 813 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 3: you could you. 814 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 4: Could keep the machines, you know, sell the machines, or 815 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 4: you could just try to sell the machine on location, 816 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 4: which is easier to sell them if they already placed 817 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 4: like that that takes work off of the next man. 818 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 2: Is any way to get a machine for free, like 819 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 2: financing or pay it back on the back end through 820 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 2: money that you make and future or no. 821 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 3: It's a great question. 822 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 4: So you can rent machines from the same type of 823 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 4: people that I talked about before, as far as like 824 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 4: with the if you're going through a vending warehouse, they 825 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 4: do allow you to VNT machines. Sometimes if you look 826 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,919 Speaker 4: online you can find some people that rent machines as well. 827 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 3: I don't really. 828 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 4: Suggest doing it because it gives you like an overhead, 829 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 4: you know, well, you know, if that's your way in, 830 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 4: and that's your way you you know what I'm saying. 831 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 2: But you can also. 832 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 4: Once once you get to a certain point in the business, 833 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 4: like like I mentioned before with Coca Cola and Pepsi 834 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 4: with one of the one of the programs that they 835 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,959 Speaker 4: have is once you buy a certain amount of their product, 836 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 4: they give you machines, so but. 837 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 3: It has to be on contract. 838 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 2: So can you say, like buy their products, like you're 839 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 2: putting their sodas in your machines. So they got like 840 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,839 Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars worth of coke. 841 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 4: It's not ten thousand dollars, but it's like it's definitely 842 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 4: a good amount, and you have to buy. You have 843 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 4: to you're committed to buying that amount at least at 844 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 4: minimum every month. But they'll give you the vending machine 845 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 4: for free because obviously it's helping them, it's helping you 846 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 4: move that product, you know. But that's the way to 847 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 4: get through vendom machines too, But that's not you probably 848 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 4: won't do that until, like you know later. 849 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 6: That about the the contracts, what are the typical links 850 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 6: of the contract?

PCD is a 859 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 2: big thing. So what's your thoughts on like junk food, 860 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 2: because you can have healthy stuff in there as well. 861 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: Obviously it's not as popular. Do you ever think about 862 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: that or Yeah. 863 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 4: That's something that actually comes up a lot of times 864 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 4: in the meetings when I'm talking to like the potential locations, 865 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 4: so they you know, they always want the healthy selections, 866 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 4: which I'm big on healthy selections anyway. 867 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 3: Definitely want to get people with choice. 868 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 2: So I like to put. 869 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 4: Half traditional and then I'll put half healthy. I try 870 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 4: the whole health thing. One didn't go that well, so 871 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 4: I definitely do. I do like like some of my 872 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 4: most of the time of Vendom machine will have multiple 873 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 4: rolls of like two roaster chips, two roaster snacks, and 874 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:13,959 Speaker 4: then you have your candy roll whatever. 875 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 3: So on my top one, I'll make half. 876 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 4: Of that like big or something like you know, like 877 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 4: a power bar something like that, not not not for 878 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 4: the chips, but like this like something big, and then 879 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 4: once we get to like the snack and the candy roll, 880 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 4: I'll just make sure it's like some healthy stuff like 881 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 4: trail mix or be like a power bar.

So it really just depends on where 891 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 4: you're putting that machine at, but it definitely, it'll definitely 892 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 4: always comes up in the conversation when you're placing the machine. 893 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 4: Is having healthy selections. Everybody, everybody wants healthy selections, and 894 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 4: I think that's more so a big wave now, yeah, 895 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 4: in the direction that we're doing as a as a 896 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 4: you know country as a country is getting more healthy 897 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 4: stuff out there. 898 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 2: So you know, yeah, you are the. 899 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 6: Food source for a lot of us, Like we don't 900 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 6: have a lot of us don't have time to go 901 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 6: out for lunch. 902 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 4: It's like, let me just got something quick, right, and 903 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 4: you want to make sure they get out the choice 904 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 4: to get something healthy versus having to get something you 905 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 4: know it's not. 906 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 2: Good for you. So like ramen, noodles and stuff like that. 907 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 2: I've seen that in there. I had those in there, 908 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 2: So like what's the what's what's your sweet spot? Like 909 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 2: you said, you don't like perishable goods for obvious reasons 910 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 2: because they expire. Just can't they expire? 911 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 6: Yes, it has an expision. 912 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 4: It's a long one though, yeah, a long like a 913 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 4: long time all right, It takes a while, but it 914 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 4: really it depends on the conditions, like your temperature and 915 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 4: all that. So if you in the summertime, snickers bar 916 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 4: in the sun ain't gonna last long because it once 917 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 4: it wants to sets most of the time. When it 918 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 4: resets into being like the regular form, it's like like 919 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 4: not really molded, but it's just like this colored and 920 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 4: it doesn't look at peeling for people to eat. 921 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 3: They're not gonna eat. 922 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 2: It, So you try to have your but it's always 923 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 2: inside though, right, try like air conditioned. 924 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 4: Most of the times it's But I'm also talking about 925 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 4: like storage, so that's where you're storing your too. 926 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 2: I never thought about that. You gotta store. Do you 927 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: store it or do you just do you just buy 928 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 2: it as you go? 929 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 3: I stored, but when I first started out just buying as. 930 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 6: I go, So your your liver was full of boxes, 931 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 6: you know, so I got a Halloween I. 932 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 4: Gotta spot in my career, WI like something similarly like 933 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 4: this area here, but like a little smaller.

But 936 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 4: once you get it down to a science. So the 937 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 4: thing about buying that you go with you gotta take 938 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 4: trips to the store every week.

Is it's well under six machines. 957 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 2: Let me see if I have it's run down something 958 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 2: like passive passive and dan, Yeah, can you explain that? 959 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 2: Like the numbers? 960 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 4: So it really now, honestly, it depends on your location obviously, 961 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 4: but we're talking about this standard average. Like if you 962 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 4: have around six machines, that's kind of still passive, like 963 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 4: that's not gonna take up too much of. 964 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 3: Your time and you know, you can still get whatever done. 965 00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 3: Once you get to like. 966 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 4: Around like ten machines, you more so like on like 967 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 4: a part time type of thing, like if you was 968 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 4: working part time, because it's going to take up a 969 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 4: little more time as far as you keeping up with 970 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 4: your products and you go into your spots, depending on 971 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 4: how far your spots are. Once you get past like fifteen, 972 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 4: that's more like a you know, once you get like 973 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 4: fifteen twenty, it's like a real business, full time, full 974 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 4: time situation, and now you're now you're doing that full time, 975 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 4: like you're making you should be if you're doing the 976 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 4: right you should be making good money. 977 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 3: But that's going to take up a lot of your time. 978 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 2: So if you have twenty, if you have twenty machines, 979 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 2: theoretically you should be making like fifteen thousand around that 980 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 2: at least at least twenty on the good. 981 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 3: End, at least fifteen at minimum. 982 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 4: At minimum, you should at least be doing like ten 983 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 4: even if you don't have good locations, like you should least. 984 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 2: R ten of months right right now. The thing about 985 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,399 Speaker 2: the Vendom machine thing is an interesting situation because it's 986 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 2: one of these things where I always say, it's never 987 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 2: about home runs. It's not about home runs in life. 988 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 2: It's about base hits. Like if you play baseball, you 989 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 2: gotta get base hits cansistently. And the Vendom machine thing 990 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 2: is like a base hit. Like even if you got 991 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,320 Speaker 2: you know, a couple going and you're getting two thousand, 992 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,879 Speaker 2: like that's that's two thousand, Like you know what I'm saying, 993 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 2: three thousand whatever. It's like, now that takes pressure off 994 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 2: of you. That's a nice passive stream of income. You 995 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 2: build that up, you know, however large you wanted to grow. 996 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 2: But it's one of these things that's extremely practical. Everybody 997 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 2: has seen vendom machines or used it or used it. 998 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 2: It's not rocket science, and it's not really that difficult 999 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 2: as far as to understand that. The general idea of. 1000 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 5: It mak people thinking in mind like, oh, somebody spent 1001 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 5: a dollar. Somebody spent a dollar twenty five. It's not 1002 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 5: a lot of money, but enough dollars make sense. 1003 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 2: Now, you know, it's not even about that. A lot 1004 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 2: of times we just mentally priced off. We just mentally 1005 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,399 Speaker 2: psych ourselves out of everything. So it's like you see 1006 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 2: a vando machine every single day.
