What we'll cover

What you'll learn at the workshop

01

How to find a location where your machine pays for itself in under 6 months

Which spots work, how to estimate foot traffic and how to check a location before you spend a dollar on a machine

02

How to get the owner to say yes, for free or for 10-15% of revenue

Who to reach out to, what to say in your first email and how to pitch the machine as a perk for their guests

03

How to get a machine at a wholesale price with little or no money upfront

Payment plans and leasing: $0 to $1,500 down, $500-1,000 a month. Plus how club members pay up to $1,500 less per machine

04

We'll run the real numbers for your first location

How much it can bring in: smart coffee, food, protein shakes, smart coolers, fresh juice or another format. Which one makes the most sense for you. Bring your questions and I'll answer them live

The big questions
Why share this if you could just place the machines yourself?

I do place them. I run my own machines in four states. But vending is local: a location is much easier to run when you live close to it. I can't cover every state and country on my own, and I'd never have the money for it anyway. While I'd be saving up, competitors would grab the open spots. I'd rather someone from our community gets them. So I share what I've already tested on my own machines

What's the biggest risk? What if the location doesn't work out?

It happens, and it's the main risk in vending. But this isn't a coffee shop where you sank hundreds of thousands into a build-out and now you're waiting for a buyer. A machine can be moved in an hour, and an hour later you're at a new spot. That's why you start with the location: you get the owner's yes first, and only then get a machine for that specific spot

Club members run 100+ locations between them. Here are a few of their stories

You have a job and want to earn more

Money and time
Is this a franchise? Do you sell machines?

No. I'm a regular business owner: I don't sell machines and I don't sell franchises. I share my experience and what's worked for me, and whether you use it is up to you. For people who want to launch alongside me, there's a club where I share locations, suppliers, machine prices and my ready-made playbooks. I'll go over the details live. Membership pays for itself on your first purchase: we buy machines and supplies together at wholesale prices, so a machine costs up to $1,500 less

Do I need my own money?

Machines are bought on a payment plan: $0 to $1,500 down, from about $500 a month. The machine earns more than the payment, and you keep the difference

How much time does it take?

At the start, about an hour a day to find a spot and talk to owners. Once the machine is in, 2-4 hours a week, and you can hand off restocking to a local person for about $200 a month

Do I need business experience?

No. I started with no money, no connections and no business experience. At the workshop I'll walk you through every step in order, from the first email to the owner to your first sale

Three years ago I placed my first machine with no money, no connections and no business experience. I picked the wrong locations and overpaid for equipment

Today I run my own network in New York, New Jersey, Miami and Chicago, from O'Hare Airport to hotels and apartment buildings. At the workshop I only show what I've tested on my own machines

It depends on your state or country, but in most cases you don't need a special license. We'll go over registration and permits at the workshop
