Bulk Vending Business?”

Introducing a remarkable e-book that will show you how to turbo-charge your vending profits…

If you own a vending route, or are considering getting into the vending business, reading this simple letter could save you thousands of dollars, while simultaneously putting you on the fast track to vending success…

From the desk of Alex Danner:

Dear Friend,

Are you tired of it yet?

Tired of spinning your wheels servicing machines that make only a few measly dollars a month?

Tired of searching for quality locations, only to find someone else has beaten you to the punch?

Tired of wasting your time ordering and assembling machines, only to let them sit idly in your garage?

Tired of talking to con men trying to sell you crummy overpriced machines from an 800 number?
If this sounds familiar, you’re ready to…

Make A Change

In our unrelenting society, it’s only a matter of time before we all run out of, well—time, not to mention patience, energy, money, etc. But don’t worry; it doesn’t have to be like this.

Instead of working longer and harder trying to make your vending business successful, what if you worked smarter and shorter…and made more money than you did before?

Well, now you can do just that. You can “take your financial life by the horns” just by using the vending tactics jam-packed into my new book, Smarter Vending: Secrets and Strategies of a Vending Pro.

Just as the title suggests, this compilation of my best vending tactics will allow you to make more money in less time and with less effort than previously thought possible.

Why Not Break The Mold?

After all, who says making money in vending should be difficult? Who says it should be tough? Who says it should take years to do?

I can’t even begin to explain how drastically this information can change your financial life. Just imagine…

Making your own money while your friends & relatives continue working for beans

Saving your sanity by working only a few measly hours per month

Enjoying more free time to spend with your kids or loved ones

Not having to scrape and save just to purchase a few luxury items

Saving more of your hard earned money from flowing right into Uncle Sam’s pocket

Not spending thousands on “business opportunities” ever again

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
In Smarter Vending: Secrets and Strategies of a Vending Pro, you’ll find tons of helpful, real world information that will put more money in your pocket, month after month.

I say “real world” because that’s where I discovered the secrets and strategies that are jam-packed into the pages of this wonderful resource. And through my experience, I have amassed a body of knowledge that would take years to of trial and error to learn.

But who has time for that?

That’s why I wrote, Smarter Vending: Secrets and Strategies of a Vending Pro. By taking advantage of my unique vending insights and expertise, you can “stand on the shoulders of my experience” and rise above the crowd!

You don’t need to waste your time reinventing the wheel…just learn what I’ve already proven works!

I read the book last week and finally had the time to check out the routes in my area. Sure enough, all of the high traffic locations already had vending machines. I called a few of the owners (I looked on the back of the machine like the book says) and one of them may be looking to sell. We’ll see how it turns out, but now I know what questions to ask to make sure I get a good deal. Even if this route doesn’t work out, I am going to set up an LLC (thanks for the tip) because its only a matter of time before I find the perfect route to buy.
C. Coulter

I was skeptical at first about buying a book over the internet, but was drawn by the concept of how much more you could work by leveraging your time through having vending machines collect money for you. Your example of you working 7,000 per week because your machines are always working is unbelievable. This is the first time I’ve ever “got it”. Now I know why I need to start a business of my own and I think vending is a good fit. Since I don’t really like the idea of placing machines and having to talk to the owners, I think it would be better for me to buy a route from someone else like you suggest. In fact, I’m going to check the websites you listed to see if any are for sale in my area.
Thanks for the help.

What’s All The Fuss About?

Now, you may be asking yourself, what in the world am I going to learn that will make all these changes a reality? The simple answer is that you are going to learn my very best, battle-tested, cream-of-the-crop tips and tactics used in buying, improving, and selling existing bulk vending routes.

Instead of wasting your time setting up a vending route the traditional way (which has sixteen basic steps before you make money), why not cut that number in half with my system (while making more money too)? Believe me, I’ve done it both ways and would never set up a route the traditional way again.

Just for fun, let’s take a look at the basic steps of what it really takes to start a bulk vending route (excluding setting up the actual business structure):
Research vending machine manufacturers

Perform due diligence on each company

Decide on the machine type that will fit your needs

Negotiate sales price with each company

Finalize sales price with the best manufacturer

Arrange financing (Possibly with a bank…UGGH!)

Wait 2-3 weeks for delivery

Take hours upon hours assembling machines

Buy candy

Prospect for locations

Negotiate the few locations you manage to secure

Take time to move machine into location

Load machine with candy

Wait two or more weeks for POTENTIAL profit

Repeat process until all machines are placed

Service machines on a regular basis

Sounds like a huge hassle, doesn’t it? However, you don’t have to take all this time and effort to set up a profitable vending route. Why not instead:

Prospect for potential routes to buy

Perform due diligence for each route

Negotiate price and terms of sale

Finalize the sale

Make payment (or arrange owner financing)

Immediately start collecting money

Service machines on regular basis

Improve route performance

Operate or sell for profit

With half the steps, half the money, and half the time you can be making more profits with Smarter Vending: Secrets and Strategies of a Vending Pro!

I can’t believe how easy it can be to make money this system. With so little time and money to invest, it’s a win-win situation. I can’t wait to get started. I only wish I had found this information before.
Bryan P. - St. Louis, MO

Great info. I really loved the exit strategies chapter. Leasing the route to another local operator to “season” it is a great idea. Thanks for the tips.
D. Buoniconti

Can’t say enough about the book. I have tried enough get rich quick things to know that they never work. Now with first hand knowledge and know how I feel like I can start making money instead of wasting my time on pipe dreams. Thanks a million.

Before I bought your book, I thought I knew enough aboutvending to make some money at it. It seemed pretty straightforward and I thought I could handle it. While I may have been right, I would have wasted a lot of time and money if I hadn’t read your book. Thanks for showing me the smarter way to make money.

How Did I Learn All This Information?

Simply put, I learned everything I know through “trial by fire”. A few years ago I started my vending business with less than $200. I bought a two-headed bulk candy machine, filled it with four five-pound bags of product, and placed it in a local real estate office. Through what must have been beginner’s luck that machine made solid income, which I quickly parlayed into a handful of machines.

However, placing some of those first machines was darn near impossible, and I knew there had to be a better way. After much searching, I found that the better way was to buy existing routes. Though I made some minor mistakes with my new strategy, I did manage to nail down the steps it took to make quicker and easier profits in vending than I had previously thought possible.

Within months, my route was 42 machines strong, all of which produced at high levels. Then by either selling or relocating under performing machines, I created a truly great vending route. It was the perfect size for the time I had to spend on it, and made great money.

Those 42 machines were the way in which I chose to leverage my time. They were like little employees except they didn’t call in sick, request benefits, or even get paid. All they did was make me money while I was off doing other things.

Think about it this way: I had 42 machines each working 168 hour weeks. If you think “hard work” is putting in 40 hour weeks, you’re kidding yourself! At that rate my vending route allowed me to work 7,056 per week! On top of clocking exponentially more hours, I was taxed less than if I was working a traditional job, meaning I took home more money at the end of the day.

Once I had built a solid base of capital to venture into other businesses, my vending income just became icing on the cake. Soon though, my new projects consumed my time, so I decided to exit the vending business that got me started in first place. I ended up selling my route in pieces, utilizing various methods I’d learned and adapted from real estate investing.

By selling to others looking to better their financial situation, I created win/win situations. They made money from my established route using OPM (Other People’s Money) and I made money using OPT (Other People’s Time). We both got what we wanted, and all parties were satisfied.

But I didn't stop there. I figured if the people I'd helped along the way get into vending loved my ideas and appreciated the knowledge I shared with them, why wouldn't the rest of the world? In response, I created Smarter Vending, which you have the opportunity to get your hands on now.

What Sets Smarter Vending Apart From Other Books?

Since I’ve had success in other businesses (as previously mentioned), I come at vending from every angle imaginable.

By combining the power of leverage (borrowed from the world of real estate) and the power of persuasion (borrowed from the world of direct sales), I give you the best chance to succeed by giving you tools other authors don’t even know to mention.

For your benefit, consider the following questions:

Q: How many vending books do you think offer a way to buy routes with little or no money down?

A: Other than Smarter Vending, NONE!!!

Q: How many vending books do you think offer tips on how to logically and systematically justify buying routes at steep discounts compared to the asking price?

A: Other than Smarter Vending, NONE!!!

Q: How many vending books show you why using half the time, effort, money, and energy in setting up a route is actually in your best financial interest?

A: Other than Smarter Vending, NONE!!!

Seriously, most other books out there give you the common sense filler that is not useful to anyone, regardless of expertise. While I do cover the basics, I get to the money making tips in a hurry. After all, that’s why you’re buying the book in the first place.

Simply put, if you truly desire to make more money in less time, you must get your hands on this book!

Special Scam Report: Read this before ordering any vending machines!

Since you may be contemplating ordering machines from some internet sales company, consider the following:

The $250 per machine you are about to spend is DOUBLE what you should pay if you want to make profits!
Most of the $250 you are about to spend is paying for slick marketing and sales commissions, not well made machines!
The huge earnings claims vending machine manufacturers make are blatantly false (and may be in violation of FTC regulations)!
Many of these operations change business names and addresses on a monthly basis to stay ahead of red flags from consumer groups like the Better Business Bureau!

So how do you avoid these scam artists? The answers can all be found in Smarter Vending…

I’m “Giving Away The House!”

And you’re in luck…

Right now, I am making a special once-in-a-lifetime offer. I am eager to get this information in the hands of those who can benefit from it, so they can see remarkable changes in their financial lives.

For a book of this nature, you could easily expect to pay between $60 and $75 (and you’d still be getting a great deal). But you’re not going to pay $75 for Smarter Vending: Secrets and Strategies of a Vending Pro.

Heck, you’re not even going to pay $50 for this incredible wealth of information.

If you act today, you can be one of the lucky few to take advantage of my time-sensitive introductory offer of only $27.

In order to jump start orders, I am willing to slash an unheard of 64% off the price of what you could expect to pay for a book of this caliber. At $27, I’m practically giving it away.

But, hold on a minute, there’s a catch. Since I’m allowing my secrets to be let go for so little, I need a favor in return…

All I am asking is that you send me your success story once you put your new knowledge into action. This way I know my information is being used and that you are truly experiencing the results you deserve.

That’s it. I just want to make sure you succeed.

And you can tell that I want nothing but the best for you, especially when you factor in all the costs associated with passing this knowledge on to you. Once you consider the costs of web hosting, credit card processing, graphic design, web design, editing, etc., it becomes apparent that Smarter Vending is as much a labor of love as it is a commercial venture.

What Else Could You Buy For A Measly $27?

Since $27 comes out to less than 8 cents a day over the course of a year, you could probably buy…
A subscription to some fruitless “business opportunity” magazine (FYI: 99.99% of business opportunities will never make you any money, no matter how hard you work!)
A couple gallons of gas to waste on going to a network marketing event (FYI: Unless you love pestering your friends into giving you money or buying worthless junk, network marketing is a complete waste of time. You’d have better luck playing the state lottery!)
An appetizer tray to serve your friends at the jewelry or cookware party they didn’t want to attend in the first place (FYI: If you think peddling pots and pans is your way to financial freedom, you are in for a big surprise!)
A few dozen stamps to get started with the “letter writing” scam (FYI: If the opportunity doesn’t make logical sense, don’t even waste one second on it!)
A first month’s payment on an unrealistic, inapplicable real estate course or seminar (FYI: Real estate is great only if you have 40 hours a week to learn highly technical info and a cool chunk of change to get started!)

…Or you could buy Smarter Vending and be on the road to making great money in no time flat!

Thank God I found your site. I was just about to purchase a few machines from one of those 800 number salesmen you warn about. After reading your book, I not only found the machines cheaper at the sites you recommended, but I decided it wasn’t even smart to order machines in the first place. I am now planning on buying a route as soon as I can find one.
Sincerely,
Christina G.

I downloaded the book last night around 11 p.m. I was finished reading it around 12:15. Though I only spent a little over an hour, I gained much more insight in the vending business. From my perspective, your method of buying and improving existing routes makes much more sense than ordering and placing machines like most people do. Thanks for opening my eyes and saving me from wasting thousands of dollars on machines.
Cordially,
J. Rehberger

I have wanted to get into vending for years now, but just didn’t know quite how to go about it. Last spring I started on my own and the results were lack
