So I mean the cheapest you're 21 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: going to find it is always going to be somewhere 22 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 3: run one thousand dollars if you're using a used machine 23 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: versus if you're coming in with something new. You're looking 24 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: at about five grand five grand for a brand new 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: one brand like brand new team in the top of 26 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: the line of new or used. 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 4: I didn't even know that there were new use machines. 28 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 4: How where do we even get this? 29 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: Like? 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: Where am I finding a new machine? Where do I go? So, 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: I mean new machines you could get from like the 32 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 3: manufacturers actually making like coke, PEPSI like those type of 33 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 3: places you can buy and trade from them. 34 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 4: Those are where the new machines come from. And we're 35 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 4: talking about actual what I mean, there's different types. We're 36 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 4: talking about food vended machines, so we're talking about sodas, snacks. 37 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 4: They do have food, they have ice cream machines. It's 38 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 4: a lot of different different types. So if you're talking 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 4: about used machines, which is you know, I use use machines, 40 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 4: and that's what I recommend everybody else to use, mainly 41 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 4: because it's easier than ain't team, and it's a lot 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: more affordable, Like the price is nowhere close to you know, 43 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 4: five thousand dollars. You can get a used machine for 44 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 4: around nine hundred, which is what my first machine was, 45 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 4: and you could find those on places such as like crackslist, 46 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 4: offer up. 47 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: Amazon, let go, it might be a little more Amazon. 48 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 3: And then the only reason I wouldn't I would say 49 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: not to get it off like a platform where it's 50 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: like online, because I would recommend you checking the machine 51 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: out first. You don't want to get it and get 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: it in, get it where you want to put it, 53 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: and then it's not working right, and then you have 54 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: to ship it back Like that's a that's a long process. 55 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: You said, let go, Yeah, what's what's that? 56 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: So it's an app? 57 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: It's an app? 58 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, so let go offer up a Facebook market. But 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: it just depends that. And another thing is it matters 60 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 3: is how are you How are you trying to scale this? 61 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: Do you wanted this to be on some side hustle 62 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: passive income stuff or do you want to grow it 63 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 3: into like a full time business. Because if you're just 64 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 3: doing it as a side hustle, just earn some extra 65 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: realdum assign you know you and those resources such as 66 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: like you know cress is fine. But if you really 67 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: want to do it, like for a time, you want 68 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 3: to find like what I what I call vending warehouses. 69 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: So a vending warehouse is just a vending company that 70 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: is large enough to sell you vending machines. So that's 71 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: kind of how we make our money. On the back end, 72 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: I might have some machines setting around and then our 73 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: cellos to anybody who's looking to buy it. 74 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 2: Where do you find vending warehouses? 75 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: So you would have to google vending machine companies in 76 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 3: your area and then contact them and see if they. 77 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: It's all regional, it's all regional. 78 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, after I order it, I'm thinking to myself right 79 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 4: now I'm ordering machine, Probably need the location first, right, 80 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: because they're going to send that to your house, right, 81 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: So do they send it to? 82 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: What happens after I order it? So you could you 83 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: could pick it the machine up first. Our I recommend 84 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: to people always always always get the machine after you 85 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: have the location, for multiple reasons. Because if you go 86 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: out and you get excited, Okay, I'm going to vending thing. 87 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: I see a cheap soulda machine, This is a great deal. 88 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: You buy it. Maybe you got it in your garage 89 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: or something like that. You don't know what type of 90 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: location you're gonna get first, So that means you don't 91 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: know what that location is going to need. Maybe they 92 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: already got a sort of machine, maybe they need a 93 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: slack machine. Maybe it won't right. And then that's another thing. 94 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 3: You don't know what the measurements are for that space 95 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: they have to put the machine. So it could be 96 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 3: the machine you make you could have maybe too big, 97 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: maybe it's too big to fit through the doorway. Maybe 98 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: it's too big for the space that they actually want 99 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: the machine. So it's always best to wait until you 100 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: get that location you know, on a paper, and then 101 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 3: you go out and get your machine. But on the 102 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: flip side, you also want to know your resources first, 103 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 3: Like you want to know where you're getting that machine 104 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: from prior to you know, finding your location. 105 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: So like what's some typical are they like typical profit margins? 106 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: Like how much money can should a person expect to 107 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: make off of like one machine? 108 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: So an average good a good location, well, you'll see 109 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: around five hundred dollars for the foot per machine. Right, 110 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: most locations have two machines, you know what I'm saying, 111 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: unless it's like a combo if most of the time, 112 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: if you'll find a combo machine, it's in a smaller 113 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: in a smaller space because they can't fit two machines, 114 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: or it's because maybe it's a slower that has slower traffic, 115 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: lower traffic, and you don't want to put two machines 116 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 3: in there, you know that type of situation. 117 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: So like a thousand dollars if you have two machines 118 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: in one location. 119 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's about that, right. 120 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 4: When you have to find locations, you obviously looked at 121 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: your life. You said, look, I played ball here, I'm 122 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: gonna put one here. That's my high school, that's my barbershop. 123 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 3: What does the average person have to do in terms 124 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: of finding locations? So step one now, Now to be 125 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: honest with y'all, Like, I had experience in like different 126 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: marketing before beforehand, so I was already kind of seasoned 127 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 3: season with uh networking and more and reaching people and 128 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 3: calling all that type of stuff. The wholesaleing I did 129 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: do whole something, So yeah, so I used those same 130 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: type of tactics to find locations because it was I 131 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: learned a lot from actually going out and trying to 132 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: find properties, you know what I'm saying when I was 133 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: doing the wholesaling thing. So the first thing I did 134 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 3: was network so I reached out to everybody, aroun me, 135 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: all my friends, all my family members, let them know 136 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: what I was doing. And this through doing that, it 137 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 3: led me to having like my first few locations, you 138 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So that's how I ended up 139 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: getting a school like you do this name, which is 140 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: my prior in high school. I talked to them, you know, 141 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: they let me place a vending machine in there, and 142 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: it led me to you know, getting a few other spots. 143 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: You know, I'm just thinking about it. A lot of 144 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: places that yeah they have two vendom machines, like a 145 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: community center, a school. Yeah, you have two vending machines. Yeah, 146 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: I never thought about that before. I mean, or trying 147 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: to cut you off. You can have two vending machines 148 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: right next to each other, Like one is sodas and drinks, 149 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: the other one is candies and chips and stuff. 150 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, they always like right next to right next to 151 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: each other. 152 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: So that's not bad if you think about it, Like 153 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: a thousand dollars, that's like you could be getting rental income, 154 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: but it's a lot less overhead as far as buying 155 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: a home. 156 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, So that was what I was gonna say. Two things. 157 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 4: Well, first of when these big corporations, like if I 158 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 4: see a Coca Cola machine, right, that's a vending machine. 159 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: Can I purchase that from? 160 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 4: Or is the corporation putting that in the location, because 161 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 4: you could have two venom machines and then they have 162 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 4: all coke products? 163 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: Can you purchase that? Can you purchase it from home 164 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: from like Coca Cola? Is that like a thing? Can 165 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: you get a venom machine from a corporation you're talking 166 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 3: about as far as have if the machine is placed 167 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: somewhere or if there is manufacturing the machines. 168 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 4: Well, so I'm thinking in terms of I have my 169 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 4: venom machine, you right, I have two of them there. 170 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: And then there's like a coke machine those coke products. 171 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: Is that something like the average person can purchase or 172 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: is just straight from the corporation? So so all right, 173 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: so Coke does Coke actually places machines themselves. So but 174 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: then what they'll do is they don't they actually just 175 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: will place the machine, right, But the thing is the 176 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: person they would have to like charge a certain amount 177 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: the in products. So the products. Once you buy a 178 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: certain amount of products from from Coke, they'll play they 179 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: get you. They get a place of vendo machine for free, 180 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: so and then they'll service it or whatever like. So, 181 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 3: if you're talking about like that machine is there, most 182 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 3: more than likely your machine won't be because they'll have 183 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: some type of contract with Coca Cola and they're not 184 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: gonna let nobody else in there. 185 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: So as far as location, because I know you said 186 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 2: that you had a couple of different keys, foot traffic, isolation, uh, 187 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: waiting rooms, so all of these different things. But before 188 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: you even get to that, how do you approach somebody 189 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: to put a vending machine in their place? 190 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: Like? 191 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: All right, so you see a school, like, what's the 192 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: process to say, Hey, can I put a veto machine here? 193 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: I talked to the principal. 194 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: How does that work? 195 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: So that's a good question. Man, That's a lot of 196 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: questions everybody ask us. But at all I really do 197 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 3: is I'll approach whoever the receptionist is that they're at 198 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: first point in contact, and I'll ask them who I 199 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 3: need to speak to to place a machine here. So 200 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: it's usually the person that everybody usually has a person 201 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: who's in charge of doing business. So the high school, 202 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: as a you know, a business manager, I had to 203 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: talk to them So if you're if I'm going into 204 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: a motel or something, most of the time they have 205 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 3: a business manager if you talk to them. So it's 206 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 3: just a about asking that first point of contact get 207 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: you know, obviously if you could find a manager or 208 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 3: something like that, reach you, you could reach and but then 209 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: ask that person, who's the person who's that I have 210 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: to talk to? That actually makes the decision. 211 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: So once you get in the high school, you get 212 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 4: into the recreation center, is there a fee that you 213 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 4: have to pay for being there or it's just part 214 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 4: of the profit margin you have to give to the places? 215 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 3: Like how's that work? So it's all about from my experience, 216 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: it's all about how you get that how you get 217 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 3: that spot. So if you have you have different resources 218 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: you're using to get locations. Right, If one thing that 219 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: you could do is you out, you go out yourself 220 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: and you actually look for locations. Like you know, when 221 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 3: we talk about the whole sort of thing, it's called 222 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 3: like driving for dollars. You're that term, yeah, right, So 223 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: that's a method you go out driving around. I actually 224 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: found the laundrymat the other day just driving around. I 225 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 3: wasn't even looking for it, but I just happened to 226 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: see it, and actually I'll put it on Instagram, So 227 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: I put it on a lot just to show people 228 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 3: like this is like, you know, how easy it is 229 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: to find something and if you're paying attention to what's 230 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 3: around you. So that's one method and another methods like 231 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: cold calling, which is you just make a list of 232 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 3: multiple places and that that may be suitable for a 233 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: vendom machine in your area that you're looking at place 234 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 3: one like using zip codes or whatever, and you know, 235 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: and you just call them if you're doing that method. 236 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: Most of the time I found when you found it 237 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: like a location like that, they ask for a commission 238 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: because you're asking to come into their space and do 239 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 3: business like you're asking for something from them. Right now. 240 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 3: On the flip side, you get a website right the top, 241 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: the most the top that the most common thing people 242 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 3: do is when they're looking for vending services. If you know, 243 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 3: you're just opened up your store, your business or whatever 244 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: it may be, it's Google, So they go right to 245 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 3: Google Vendom Machine service and Philadelphia my joone is like 246 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: one of the top ones on there. So you click 247 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: on that, they they call you, they contact you, and 248 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 3: then they're gonna ask you to place a vending machine 249 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 3: in their place of business. So most not in that scenario. 250 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 3: Most of the time they don't ask you for a 251 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: commission because they just want your service. They want your 252 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 3: service for their customers, are for their employees off for 253 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: whatever reason. It's just like, yeah, we just want to service. 254 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 3: We're not worried about commission. 255 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: So if you approach them, you got to pay them 256 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: most of the time. If they approach you, you don't 257 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: have to pay. 258 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 3: Most of the time most of the time. That's how 259 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 3: that goes. That also depends on what type of place 260 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 3: it is, you know, because if you're dealing with like 261 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: recreation centers and schools, a lot of times those those 262 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 3: facilities are like the prod the funds already, so they 263 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 3: always looking for different ways to supplement, you know, some income. 264 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 3: So they're going to bring that up. 265 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 2: So what kind of commission is fair? Like if somebody 266 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: I'll let you put ahead, but here's you gotta give 267 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: me twenty percent temper, Like what's a fair amount that 268 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: a fear. 269 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: Amount really depends on the traffic and that location, but 270 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 3: you typically it's around ten percent. Yeah, ten percent is 271 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 3: It's like a fear amount most of the time if 272 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 3: it's a good location. 273 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 4: So you you sit down, you say that we can 274 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: have the vend machine here. 275 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: What we do next we drawing up a contract. Right 276 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 3: so at the point where they give me the person 277 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: of contact and they said they interested, and I'll schedule 278 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 3: a meeting with them, so we'll sit there like we're talking. Now, 279 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 3: I'll have a proposal, which is something I came up 280 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 3: with just from doing the meetings, and it's all the 281 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: information is in the proposal, which just cuts down the 282 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 3: meet in town. So you know, in there it's just 283 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 3: about the uh, your business, a little bit about yourself. 284 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 3: You want to put the products that you use, what 285 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: makes you different than other companies, your price points for 286 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: your products. Just present all that to them and then 287 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: you know, if if they like that, then I also 288 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: have the contract there so and if they're good with 289 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: the contract, you know we signed it right there. Do 290 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: the deal right there. Now. Sometimes it doesn't go that way. 291 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: Sometimes they might want certain contingencies or whatever in the contract. 292 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: So if they want that and you ask, you have 293 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 3: you know, obviously you have to go back and draw 294 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: up a new contract and get them to sign that. One. 295 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm thinking of like the school, right, so I'm 296 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: thinking like one of the contendencies they might have is 297 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 4: like you can't serve a certain amount of sugar. 298 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, certain certain products. And then it's like some 299 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 3: people will want your actual service hours in there, or 300 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: they'll want if basically like if if something goes wrong, 301 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: you have to repair it by all this amount of 302 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: time type of thing like, so that stuff is usually 303 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 3: people usually tweak, but for the most part, they did 304 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: go about what's on the paper. 305 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: So okay, So as far as let's go back to location. 306 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: So like you said, you said foot traffic, accessibility, isolation, 307 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: and waiting rooms. Those are like your four golden rules, right, 308 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 2: oh the one second. So and then for the commission 309 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: that I never bring up commission. So never never sit 310 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: down with a location and say, all right, well, this 311 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 2: is the amount that we're paying commission. 312 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 3: If they don't mention it, oh yeah, no, give them money. 313 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, no no. Some people think that that's like 314 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 3: a pitching like point, is that we can pay you 315 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: this much in commission, but don't mention. 316 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: That, because it's not. That's a good that's a good 317 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: point because you might automatically assume that you have to 318 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: pay because you're you're in their space. But like you said, 319 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: it's kind of like an attraction where it's like, like 320 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: my son goes to camp. Every time I pick him out, 321 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: he's like, can you give me something? The venom machine. 322 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: So it's like, you know what I'm saying, It's like 323 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: the vending machine is actually helping in that situation because 324 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: it's like people something you might just walk into a 325 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: space just to use the vending machine. 326 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 4: Right, So that now I'm thinking about from the business standpoint, 327 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 4: having a school during the year is great. Having a 328 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 4: recreation center during the summer gold month all kids. 329 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 3: Want, well no recreations. Recreation centers doing the school year 330 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: are good too because they have different programs and they 331 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: have basketball games and stuff. 332 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. So all right, so location, location, location is the 333 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: most important thing in real estate period. And I guess 334 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: it's no different from vending machine either, Right, you got 335 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: the best vending you could be giving away gold bars 336 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 2: if it's in the desert, doesn't matter. So how do 337 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: you know what's a good look? I mean obviously, well 338 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: I don't say obviously. How do you know what's a 339 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: good location or not so, I mean from what you 340 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: just basically what you just mentioned, but I picked them 341 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: up as time went on, just noticing different things. So 342 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: when I'm walking into a location, I go with a checklist. 343 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: I don't really use it anymore because I kind of 344 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: like know now, but it's best to have a checklist 345 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: and use this. And this is what you want to 346 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: look for. So you want to look for when you 347 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: pull up to the space. Is it any stores around 348 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: that building? So when I say isolation, that that's what 349 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: I'm talking about. So I'll take a lap of two 350 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: laps around. See I'm looking for corner stores. I'm looking 351 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: at this for other places to eat, all right. So 352 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: if if I don't see no other places to eat, 353 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, so that's that's a good sign. 354 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 3: Right. And then when I walk in the door, I'm 355 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: looking in terms of moving I'm looking for steps and 356 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: all that type of stuff because you have to move 357 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: the machine in there. When it terms of what makes 358 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: it a good location, I'm I'm looking to see where 359 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: the machine will be placed, all right. So I'm like, 360 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 3: all right, well, is it placed somewhere where it's visible 361 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: and people could see it? Because I had one situation 362 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: where I had a it was a hotel wanted me 363 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 3: to put a machine in there, but they wanted a 364 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: machine like in the in the back way in the 365 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 3: back where nobody would see it. And on the flip side, 366 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 3: it had a gas station right next door. So when 367 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 3: I was watching, I'm watching people come in and they 368 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 3: just making the left turn, right out or right to 369 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 3: the gas station. 370 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 4: I'm like, the gas station is the place now that 371 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 4: they're gonna get that. 372 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: They see the gas station because it's right because it 373 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: was a big glass, you know door obviously and it's 374 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: right there. Versus if that machine is placed in the lobby, 375 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 3: they just would have used the machine. Then nobody wants 376 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 3: to walk all to be over there if you ain't 377 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 3: got too only in the night shift, right, So so 378 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: you know that's that's real important. It's important is is 379 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: it being visible and it being accessible to everyone? So 380 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: if everybody can use it, if it's visible, that that's 381 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: a good sign. Another thing I'm looking for is hours 382 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 3: of operation. So how long is this place open? Like 383 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 3: you said night shift, Some places open twenty four hours, right, 384 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 3: That gives you more selves versus it only being opened 385 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 3: for nine to five like, so that's another that's another 386 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 3: important brieteria close now right, So, and then probably the 387 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: last thing I'm looking for is foot traffic, right, which 388 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 3: is one of this is the most important thing. You 389 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 3: want to see. How many employees they got, how many 390 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: people are visiting this place, how many people are in 391 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: and out coming past this machine? 392 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, one of the things you said, And as you 393 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 4: said it, I was like, wow, that's brilliant. Places that 394 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 4: have ideal time where people are just waiting. So I 395 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 4: would say a hospital, but when you just set laundry mat, 396 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 4: I'm thinking like, oh my gosh, yeah, like people are 397 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 4: sitting in there all day watching machines. 398 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: Though, no, laundry mats are big. Schools are big, Recreation 399 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: centers are big, Hospitals are big. 400 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 3: I'm thinking that's a number one. 401 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 2: Office buildings are big. Dorms dorms, college dorms. College dorms 402 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: are big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 403 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 3: And give give an example is Temple. We have a 404 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 3: Temple dorm. God was doing business with that location does 405 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 3: around thirty five hundred? 406 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: My mom, how many machines? How many machines? 407 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 3: Who machines? You know what I mean? Cos kids don't 408 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 3: have a lot of money, and they don't have transportation. 409 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 2: So if you put the vend machine and that's that's you, 410 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: that's your machines. 411 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 3: These to those two are mind it's the guy. Actually, 412 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: I know we were talking a little camera. So another guy, 413 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 3: one of my first my first mentee, I helped him 414 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: find a spot and that was the spot that we got. 415 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty five hundred. That's that's the bread. 416 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 3: Two machines, two machines, thirty five And then on top 417 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 3: of that, since that building is to build the way build, 418 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: it could be more machines placed in there. And you said, 419 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: there's a difference in what I mean. 420 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 4: The older machines don't have something that's very important that 421 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 4: you said, and that's the card readers, right, because now 422 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 4: a lot of people don't have cash, but they do. 423 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 3: Have cards to use. So what we do is we'll 424 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: take the older machines and add upgrades. So we might 425 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 3: change the door. We might use what we call like 426 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 3: the lead lighting, so you know the little light strips. 427 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 3: Put that in the door, makes it a little brighter. Yeah, 428 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 3: and we can add to car readers, but we would 429 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 3: just have to change what's in there. It's called the 430 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: circuit board. Okay, expensive circuit board costs about two hundred dollars. 431 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 3: Car readers are about four hundred, so you're looking at 432 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: to use that as about additional six hundred dollars. But 433 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 3: on the flip side, those usually increase yourselves by at 434 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 3: least thirty forty percent. Like, so you know it's worth 435 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 3: for actually getting those on there if you know you 436 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: plan on doing it on a serious note. 437 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 2: So, okay, so as far as installation, right, how do 438 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 2: you know which products to put? So you just in 439 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: a machine and you can put anything in the machine, correct, 440 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 2: anything you want? How do you know what products do 441 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 2: you do? 442 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 3: Like? 443 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 2: Okay, I like three those, so like how do you 444 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 2: how do you know like which is a good product? 445 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: That's asking the question because all right, So my first 446 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 3: location that I got when I when I said it 447 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: was only doing only a few a few dollars or 448 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 3: whatever I was putting in there when I like, so 449 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 3: what I like, I was talking to I'm walking through 450 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 3: Sam's cub like okay, this is good, this is good. 451 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 3: But after a while I was like, no, you you 452 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 3: have to put in what they want. So what I 453 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 3: like to do is in my first if it's an office, 454 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 3: building and something like that. I'll use a newsletter and 455 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 3: outside the newsletter introducing my services, and I'll give them 456 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 3: an opportunity to put to tell me what they want 457 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 3: in the machine. That's like step one. Other than that, 458 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 3: it really comes down to demographics like this, certain certain demographics, 459 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 3: certain in the certain groups of people like like like 460 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: certain things. So from my experience, I know if I'm 461 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 3: dealing with a mostly like Carcasian, they tend to like 462 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 3: more of like the plane chips and like it, like 463 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 3: for the plain tips, whereas though it might be more 464 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 3: like you know, the flavor fold barbecue type. Yeah. Man, 465 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: it depends what you have, but it's it's definitely best 466 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 3: to always let the people tell you what they want 467 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,479 Speaker 3: and the inventory you're actually going to get. Right. So, 468 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: like you would go into these warehouses I go to, 469 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 3: I go to Sam's Club, so I go to the 470 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 3: most mostly shop at Sam's Club, but I do have 471 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 3: a warehouse that I go to to get products. Now, 472 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 3: the thing with sam Club is it's good if you're 473 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 3: just doing it like small scale, but if you're buying 474 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 3: like variety boxes and chips and whatnot, they're going to 475 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: put a few they're going to put the good chips 476 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 3: in there. Then they're going to put like a they 477 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 3: always selection and that right, and that's the one that's 478 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 3: not going to sell. So when you're doing that on 479 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: a larger scale, you have to keep buying those boxes 480 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 3: and boxes. It's like, well, that's not that's that's losing 481 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 3: making me lose money. So when you get to a 482 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 3: certain point, you could just cut that out and then 483 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 3: if you go find a source, you have to find 484 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 3: a So you could just get the straight fire products, 485 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 3: but as you have to buy it in a larger quantity. 486 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 3: So that box of Sam's Club comes in a box 487 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: of thirty most of the time, whereas though if I 488 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 3: buy that in the larger quantity, I got about sixty 489 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 3: four box of sixty four all one selection, which is 490 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 3: gonna cost you more money because now you have to 491 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 3: put that that that variety box points is gonna take 492 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 3: about four or five roads because it's different chips in 493 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: there versus it just being one whole box and one 494 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 3: product that's only one row a product.

But the thing is 660 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 3: when you actually go through the process, but picking out 661 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 3: a good location, if you're meeting the criteria, it's hard 662 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 3: to do vandalism because if the machine is somewhere open 663 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 3: and somewhere is you know, it's if it's in that 664 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 3: And if a place is always you know, has long hours, 665 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 3: most of some of their security, and mostly nine times 666 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 3: out of ten that's that been the machine is somewhere 667 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: near that security, like wherever it's sitting at in the 668 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 3: lobby somewhere, So it's always gonna be somewhere where people 669 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 3: where people see it. And like it's always if it's 670 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 3: foot traffic, it's going to be. If it's good foot traffic, 671 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 3: then people are always going to be around. So it's hard 672 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 3: to vandalyize, you know, machines. 673 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 2: With cameras like a school or community center. 674 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 3: Min's minds happened more so when I had it in 675 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 3: that hotel, were talking when that when it shut down, 676 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 3: it was like when I went back there, it was over. 677 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 2: What's the what's the life span of a machine? 678 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 3: That's a great question. I mean I have some machines 679 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 3: I haven't had any issues with like since I had 680 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: and some of them you get it's just like problems. 681 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 3: I have one machine in particular that's it's always giving 682 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: me a problem. I actually switched it out recently with 683 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 3: what type of problems? 684 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 4: Like the mechanical doesn't dispense the merchandise? 685 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 3: No, So in the machine really is only about it's 686 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: about three parts. You got your your bill accepted. A 687 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 3: lot of people think like, oh what about that's that's 688 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 3: one of the questions. I get a lot too. What 689 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 3: about the cost of maintenance? I don't really Mainly the 690 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: cost of maintenance isn't high at all, Like it's really 691 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 3: like it's rare that something goes wrong with those machines. 692 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 3: But you got your bill acceptor your coin mechanism, which 693 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,239 Speaker 3: is where you put the coins in, and then you 694 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 3: have your your board. So your board is like the 695 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 3: thing everything is connected to the press east four No, 696 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 3: but yeah, basically but that that runs to a little 697 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 3: board that's inside of the machine, right, And those are 698 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 3: the main three parts that the coils and stuff don't 699 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 3: really that. Those are run by little motors, but those 700 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 3: don't really go bad. Those are typically okay with the 701 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 3: with the the thing that gets the most used is 702 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 3: the bill accepted because people are always putting the bills 703 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 3: in there or whatever. I probably switched that out probably 704 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 3: every like maybe like two years or something. But if 705 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 3: you're if you're taking care of the right way, you're 706 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 3: gonna have to do that. I'm bad at that part, 707 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 3: but you know you could have. You could order a 708 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 3: thing off Amazon. It's like a little sticky It looks 709 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 3: like a sticky card. You put it in there and 710 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 3: then pull it out and it pulls all the dirt 711 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 3: and stuff out of the the bulletcept that which helps 712 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 3: it keeps it clean because what's in there is it's 713 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 3: a reader. So once that reader gets to like dirty 714 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 3: or too like you know, beat up, it doesn't work anymore. 715 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 2: So how do you all? 716 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 3: Right? 717 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: So the money you collect just you know you're going 718 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 2: in But like the credit card, how that gets goals 719 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: that in that process and that goes like directly to 720 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 2: like a PayPal. 721 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 3: Account, it goes directly to the bank account. The bank account, 722 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 3: so every time somebody uses goes right, in, but it 723 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 3: goes it doesn't go right in, it goes to that 724 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 3: that service, It goes to that provider's account. Then they 725 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 3: have a payout and then they pay similar to what 726 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: you would us like what I can shopify. 727 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, like shoot. 728 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 3: Your payout date and then on those days you get 729 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 3: paid out for whatever card reader selves that you had. 730 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 4: What about the process of buying and selling routes, I 731 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 4: know sometimes you said that if there is a slow time, 732 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 4: you might want to sell that machine or. 733 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 3: Sell that route, and talk about that little bit. Yeah, 734 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 3: So I mean in the business, you know, obviously the 735 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 3: the bulk of your money is going to come from 736 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 3: you selling products out of your machine, but it's also 737 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 3: other ways to make money once you get going, of 738 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: which one of the best ways is, like you just said, 739 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 3: buying and selling routes. So I might like for the 740 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 3: perfect the perfect scenario or the best scenario I had 741 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 3: with buying buying a route and selling it was I 742 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 3: brought a route for thirty five hundred. Now, originally the 743 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 3: guy was trying to charge me like seven thousand Ford 744 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 3: or something like that. I was like, no, I'm okay, 745 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: I'm not even really That's what I'm not really looking 746 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 3: for anything. But you know, he couldn't sell it. So 747 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 3: he came back to me. He was like, you know, 748 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 3: I still got this route. I'll give it to you 749 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 3: for thirty five. And I'm like, okay, So I'm looking 750 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 3: at it. It's six it's six Vendom machines, and it's 751 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 3: three locations. So I'm like, man's that's that's like a giveaway. 752 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I'll take it for thirty five. So 753 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 3: I brought it. I checked out the locations. Two of 754 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 3: the locations I didn't I didn't like, so I'm like, okay, 755 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 3: this location is bad, but it was good machines in there. 756 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 3: The other location was bad. One location was good. So 757 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 3: what I did was I kept a good location and 758 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: I sold the other two locations for thirty five apiece. 759 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 3: So I ended up making a profit of seven thousand 760 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 3: off of that situation. So that's just another way to 761 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 3: make money on the back. And so if you're into 762 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 3: buying routes, like you could just buy a route out 763 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 3: maybe set you could you could keep the machines, you know, 764 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 3: sell the machines, or you could just try to sell 765 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 3: the machine on location, which is easier to sell them 766 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 3: if they already placed like that that takes work off 767 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 3: of the next man. 768 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: Is the any way to get a machine for free, 769 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 2: like financing or pay it back on the back end 770 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: through money that you make and future or no. 771 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 3: It's a great question. So you can rent machines from 772 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 3: the same type of people that I talked about before, 773 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 3: as far as like with the if you're going through 774 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 3: a vending warehouse, they do allow you to rent machines. 775 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 3: Sometimes if you look online you can find some people 776 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 3: that rent machines as well. I don't really suggest doing 777 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 3: it because it gives you like an overhead you know 778 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 3: where you know, if that's your way in and that's 779 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 3: your way you know what I'm saying. But you could 780 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 3: also once once you get to a certain point in 781 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 3: the business, like like I mentioned before with Coca Cola 782 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 3: and Pepsi with one of the one of the programs 783 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 3: that they have is once you buy a certain amount 784 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 3: of their product, they give you machines, but it has 785 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 3: to be on a contract. 786 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 2: So can you say, like buy their products, like. 787 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 3: You're putting their sodas in your machine. 788 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 2: So they got like ten thousand dollars worth of coke. 789 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 3: It's not ten thousand dollars, but it's like it's definitely 790 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 3: a good amount, and you have to buy. You have 791 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 3: to you're committed to buying that amount at least at 792 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 3: minimum every month. But they'll give you the Vendom machine 793 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 3: for free because obviously it's helping them, it's helping you 794 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 3: move that product, you know. But that's the way to 795 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 3: get through your Vendom machines too, But that's not We 796 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 3: probably won't do that until, like you know, later down. 797 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 4: About the contracts. What are the typical links of the contract? 798 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,919 Speaker 3: Is it like six months of the year about two years? 799 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 3: I do two years two year contract, yeah, two two 800 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 3: year increments. 801 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 2: So all right, well that was a lot of information 802 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 2: for sure. So in the next second, we're gonna bring 803 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 2: you home, all right, so we're gonna close it out. 804 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 2: But before I got I got a few questions. So 805 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,959 Speaker 2: all right, it's in schools with kids and stuff like that. 806 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on because it's childhood. PCD is a 807 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 2: big thing, So what's your thoughts on like junk food 808 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 2: because you can have healthy stuff in there as well, 809 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 2: obviously not as popular. Do you ever think about that? 810 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 3: Or yeah, that's something that actually comes up a lot 811 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 3: of times in the meetings when I'm talking to like 812 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 3: the potential locations, so they you know, they always want 813 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 3: the healthy selections, which I'm big on healthy selections anyway. 814 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 3: Definitely want to give people a choice. So I like 815 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 3: to put half traditional and then I put half healthy. 816 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 3: I tried the whole healthy thing one and go that well, 817 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 3: So I definitely do. I do, like like some of 818 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 3: my most of the time of vendom machine will have 819 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 3: multiple roles of like two roaster chips, two roaster snacks, 820 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 3: and then you got your candy roll or whatever. So 821 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 3: on my top one, I'll make half of that like 822 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 3: big or. 823 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 2: Something like you know, like a power bar something like that. 824 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 3: Not not not for the chips, but like this like 825 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 3: something big. And then once we get to like the snack, 826 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 3: when the candy road, I'll just make sure it's like 827 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 3: some healthy stuff like trail mix or be like a 828 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 3: power bar, so it is something something that's you know, 829 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 3: it'd be good for something somebody grab quick that's still 830 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 3: healthy for you. 831 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 4: And depending on where you're at right like that, you 832 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 4: have to take that into account as far as inventory, 833 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 4: because like you said, Philly got the sugar tacks, right, 834 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 4: so when buying stuff. 835 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 3: You got to take that into account. So and we 836 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 3: also have also have an old people's home, so you 837 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,879 Speaker 3: know in there, I can't put a lot of sugar stuff. 838 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 3: So it really just depends on where you're putting that 839 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 3: machine at. But it definitely, it definitely always comes up 840 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,959 Speaker 3: in the conversation when you're placing the machine. Is having 841 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 3: healthy selections. Everybody, everybody wants healthy selections. And I think 842 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 3: that's more so a big wave. 843 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 2: Now, yeah, in the direction. 844 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 3: That we're doing as a as a you know country 845 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 3: as a country is getting more healthy stuff out there. 846 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 4: So you know, yeah, you are the food source for 847 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 4: a lot of us, Like we don't have a lot 848 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 4: of us don't have time to go out for lunch. 849 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 3: It's like, let me just add something quick, right, and 850 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 3: you want to make sure they get out the choice 851 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 3: to get something healthy having to get something you know 852 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 3: it's not good for you. 853 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 2: So like ramen noodles and stuff like that. I've seen 854 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 2: that in there. I had those in there, So like 855 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 2: what's the what's what's your sweet spot? Like kind of 856 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 2: you said you don't like perishable goods for obvious reasons. 857 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 2: Because they expire, just can't they expire? 858 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 3: Yes, it has an aspersion. It's a long one though, yeah, 859 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 3: a long like a long time, all right, It takes 860 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 3: a while, but it really it depends on the conditions, 861 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 3: like your temperature and all that. So if you in 862 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 3: the summertime, snickers bar in the sun ain't gonna last, 863 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 3: you know, because it once it once, it resets most 864 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 3: of the time when it resets into being like the 865 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 3: regular form. So it's like like not really molded, but 866 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 3: it's just like this colored and it doesn't look at 867 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 3: peeling for people to eat. They're not gonna eat it. 868 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 2: So you try to have your but it's always inside though, right, 869 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 2: like air conditioned more. 870 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 3: But I'm also talking about like storage, so where you're 871 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 3: storing your too. 872 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: I never thought about that. You gotta store? Do you 873 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 2: store it or do you just do you just buy 874 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 2: it as you go? 875 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,320 Speaker 3: I stored, but when I first started out with binding 876 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 3: as I go, So your your liver was full of boxes, 877 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 3: you know. So I got a Halloween I gotta spot 878 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 3: my career wild like something similarly like this area here, 879 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,959 Speaker 3: but like a little smaller. That whole area was filled 880 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 3: with snatch. Ok. But you know, if you buy it 881 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 3: that you go, it's a little easier, but once you 882 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 3: get it down to a science. So the thing about 883 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 3: buying that you go with you gotta take trips to 884 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 3: the store every week. Like so you really want to 885 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 3: figure out how much you need, so you could just 886 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 3: buy your month's worth and then have it just sitting 887 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 3: over there in the corner. So all you gotta do 888 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,240 Speaker 3: is grab the stuff and go fill up the machine 889 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 3: versus multip making multiple trips. 890 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 4: So a full time day is like, all right, I'm 891 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 4: gonna schedule. I'm gonna go to this location to refill, 892 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 4: this location to refill. 893 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 894 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 3: So it's like all right, so I'll do my day 895 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 3: before our prep full up, all full up, all my 896 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 3: my bens. I have bens that I carry the products 897 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 3: in full up, all my bens. Pick the spots. I'm 898 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 3: going to just knock the spots down one bout one, 899 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 3: but I do. I'll pack everything the night before. That's 900 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 3: the one man show yourself. 901 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah wow, So I saw you saying like it's far 902 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 2: the numbers on it, so it's like I think it's 903 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 2: like under six locations. Is it's well under six machines? 904 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 3: Let me see if I have it's run down someone 905 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 3: like passive. 906 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 2: Passive and Dan, yeah, can you explain that? 907 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,240 Speaker 3: Like the numbers, so it really now honestly it depends 908 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 3: on your location obviously, but we're talking about this standard average. 909 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 3: Like if you have around six machines, that's kind of 910 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 3: still passive, Like that's not gonna take up too much 911 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 3: of your time, and you know, you can still get 912 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 3: whatever done. Once you get to like around like ten machines, 913 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 3: you more so like on like a part time type 914 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,919 Speaker 3: of thing, like if you was working part time, because 915 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 3: it's gonna take up a little more time as far 916 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 3: as you keeping up with your products and you go 917 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 3: into your spots depending on how far your spots are. 918 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 3: Once you get past like fifteen, that's more like a uh, 919 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 3: you know, once you get like fifteen twenty. 920 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 2: It's like a real business full time situation. 921 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 3: And now you're now you're doing that full time like 922 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 3: you're making you should be if you're doing the right 923 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 3: you should be making good money. But that's gonna take 924 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 3: up a lot of your time. 925 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 2: So if you have twenty, if you have twenty machines, 926 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 2: theoretically you should be making like fifteen thousand around that 927 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 2: at least at least twenty on the good. 928 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 3: End, at least fifteen at minimum. At minimum, you should 929 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 3: at least be doing like ten even if you don't 930 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 3: have good location, like you should. 931 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 2: Least ten a months right right now. The thing about 932 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 2: the Vendom machine thing is just an interesting situation because 933 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 2: it's one of these things where I always say, it's 934 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 2: never about home runs. It's never about home runs in life. 935 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 2: It's about base hits. Like if you play baseball, you 936 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 2: gotta get base hits consistently. And the Venom machine thing 937 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 2: is like a base hit Like even if you got 938 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 2: you know, a couple going and you're getting two thousand, 939 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 2: like that's that's two thousand, like you know what I'm saying, 940 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 2: three thousand whatever. It's like, Now, that takes pressure off 941 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 2: of you. That's a nice passive stream of income. You 942 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 2: build that up, you know, however large you wanted to grow. 943 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 2: But it's one of these things that's extremely practical. Everybody 944 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 2: has seen vendom machines or use it or used it. 945 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 2: It's not rocket science, and it's not really that difficult 946 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 2: as far as to understand that. The general idea of it. 947 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,959 Speaker 4: Ma people thinking in mind like somebody spent the dollars. 948 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 4: Somebody spent the dollar twenty five. It's not a lot 949 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 4: of money, but enough dollars make sense now. 950 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 2: You know, it's not even about that. A lot of 951 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 2: times we just mentally priced off, We just mentally psyche 952 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 2: ourselves out of everything. So it's like you see a 953 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 2: vander machine every single day. How many people have ever 954 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 2: thought about owning a vending machine? But I've never thought 955 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 2: about it. You see it? Why not somebody owns it? 956 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 3: You're getting killed every summer. 957 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 2: Somebody owns it. Like you know what I'm saying, Like 958 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 2: why not? Yeah? 959 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people shot away from 960 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 3: it too, Like even when they think about that idea 961 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 3: is like they're scared of like the maintenance that we think, Okay, 962 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 3: well I don't know how to fix it. But you know, 963 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you it's not it's 964 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 3: not too complicated. But for any business, you're gonna have 965 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 3: hurt us where you have to figure stuff out. It's 966 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,840 Speaker 3: no different than that. Like, so once you once you 967 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 3: get it going and you run into an issue, of 968 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 3: course you have to. I mean, YouTube is your friend. 969 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 3: You probably to find a solution on YouTube. If not, 970 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 3: find a resource to call in and just watch what 971 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 3: they do, you know, and most of the time, you know, 972 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 3: that's that's how I how to fix it. 973 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, I'm going to ask you that, like 974 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 2: do you fix yourself if you hire like mechanics that 975 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 2: specialize in the machine. 976 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 3: So for the most part, I fix it myself. The 977 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 3: only thing I really I can't fix is the refrigeration 978 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 3: units is called the compressors. So the compressors are a 979 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,959 Speaker 3: little more complicated. I don't know how to fix those yet. 980 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 3: But like the builds sceptors and the coin mechanisms and 981 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,879 Speaker 3: like that, that type of stuff, I can fix those 982 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 3: because it's like it's just a common thing.
