From the desk of Rob Farnham
A few years back I wrote a book on what NOT to do in the vending business.
This was a result of our vending experiences (mistakes!) over about a 15 year period. When we started, we greatly overpaid for 5 vending machines after attending a business opportunity exhibition. Our pie-in-the-sky dreams quickly smashed down to earth after we counted our first week’s receipts. Our gross sales were $43, and we had a $15K bank loan! The locations that were initially given to us by our bizop company weren’t producing for us. We called and asked for more locations. When they told us the price per location, we almost fell over!
Of course, as we had already found out, there were absolutely NO guarantees with these locations.
Fast forward quite a few years. We turned lemons into lemonade and built a very profitable vending business, which we ran for over 12 years. We built a full time, full-line business that included small soda and snack machines, bulk dispensers, office coffee machines, hot dog carts and large cafeteria setups with multiple machines like drinks, water, milk, food, snack as well as bill changers, etc.,
If it looks like a vending machine, we’ve probably found a location for it.
We then sold our business and took some time to enjoy the fruits of our labor!
We saw many others falling victim to the same slick sales approach that caused us to drastically overpay for our initial machines. So I my first ebook and published on the internet on a site called MyVendingUncle.com
That book was written to help unsuspecting victims stay away from the Bizop scams and avoid overpaying for vedning machines. (That is the FIRST mistake we made!)
Since publishing that ebook we have received HUNDREDS of emails from readers who thanked us for saving them from making the same bad financial decisions we did. They learned from our mistakes and started out much better than we did.
Sadly, Patti and I have also noticed an increasing trend that has devastated many of our newer readers. More rookie vending operators are falling prey to unethical vending locating companies. The emails kept coming pleading for our help, advice or direction. We received some truly horrific stories about locating companies, unethical behavior and outright scams! It was obvious that there was a need for some helpful information on how to find vending locations, and how to deal with locating companies. And many new vendors who were trying to find locations themselves couldn't find any scripts or help to get them started. They we're frustrated, angry and desperate.
Here is an example of the type of emails we've received lately...
Locating Horror Story
Uncle Rob
Help!
We are in the throws of trying to locate some machines we purchased last January. The company that sold them to us said they could and would do the locating, but then started having staffing difficulties with their locators. We waited for them for weeks but then decided to give it a try ourselves - with no luck. We went back to the company but they were now too busy so they recommended a locating company. Having sent a deposit to that company in July, we are still waiting. This evening we received a call from a locator who had contacted us two weeks ago. He now says that he thinks the locating company that he was contracted by to do our locating may be a fraud (and possibly in cahoots with the company we purchased the machines from)
Any ideas?

We started searching for an honest, factual, helpful resource we could tell our readers about. There are simple clauses you can add to any vending locating company contract to protect your interests (and your money). And there are simple steps to learning how to secure your own locations. We felt sure that if we looked hard enough we'd find that someone has published this type of helpful information on how to deal with vending companies and Do-It-Yourself locating advice?
Here’s what we found
#1: The first product we purchased was a one-page report written by a woman who detailed the three times she was left stranded, defrauded and mislead by a locating company. She finally forced herself to locate a few of the machines in her garage by herself, and then she sold her business soon after. Now she’s writing a book on how to locate???
|
#2: The next was was the experiences of a man who had reportedly built a vending business from scratch. The book was very short (20+ pages), and directed readers to purchase vending equipment from his eBay store (most of it was overpriced!). The last chapter of his book (the longest chapter) was about building a traditional or Roth IRA to help with your retirement. (We had to wonder, "What does that have to do with FINDING VENDING LOCATIONS?") |
#3: Another well known vending author published his locating book. His book was an enjoyable read. He is a talented writer. But we were bothered by some of the ideas it offered. Some things were illegal, unethical or simply wrong. Ideas like hosting a party at your home and asking each guest to bring someone who might be able to help you get a new location seemed more like fantasy than reality to us. We wouldn't insult people by trying this idea. And, you simply don't need to resort to "tricks". |
After reading over a dozen “how-to-locate-vending-machines” books, we discovered a stunning fact about every single one of them. Besides the fact that we didn’t find a lot of helpful information, there was a HUGE piece of critical information that ALL these authors and publishers seemed to be "conveniently" hiding!
We’ve written a short report about their non-disclosure that you can receive today, absolutely FREE! This information might surprise you!

Readers Comments
Rob,
Your ebook is superb in the information you've imparted. I think it is well written and found it easy to read. The subject matter is very interesting to me and I found it hard to put it down (I printed it out so I could read it away from the computer). I've not had any experience with locating companies so haven't been burned. But I have tried my own systems with and without success. The one concept I've really wanted to exploit is the website but haven't spent the time or effort to start one. Your advice on the subject seems very sound and I will try it.
I'm starting on it this week.
Thanks
