Larry is a veteran vending operator who has had success in all areas of the vending business. Listen in as he answers another good question. "Ok, so somebody says yes, I want your vending machines in my office, then what do I do?" This can make or break a lot of vending companies. B2B sales involves an agreement, be careful what you agree to do. A good rule of thumb is to under promise and over deliver. Give yourself enough time to arrange the move. Have everything ready to go ahead of time. Make a list of items so people can select what they want at the location.   Vending Business Blog clean 8:24 Vendo 621 Vending Machine http://www.amequipmentsales.com/blog/vendo-621-vending-machine/ http://www.amequipmentsales.com/blog/vendo-621-vending-machine/#comments Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:00:25 +0000 admin http://www.amequipmentsales.com/blog/?p=342 More on Vendo 621 Machine – Live Display
