Discounts and promos

Pricing and commission should align with traffic, service effort, and product mix. Use discounts without killing margin.

• Assess traffic and location expectations.
• Compare nearby retail pricing.
• Estimate service frequency and costs.

• Set prices based on location type and margin targets.
• Offer a commission range with performance incentives.
• Explain how pricing supports reliable service.

• Review prices quarterly.
• Avoid underpricing in high-traffic sites.
• Communicate price changes before they occur.

• Offer a limited-time promo for new placements.
• Revisit commission if service costs increase.
• Use a sales review after 60 days.

See packages and pricing at /pricing. Start with leads at /vending-leads or /hot-leads.

• Confirm all steps are documented so the next technician can reproduce the results.
• Capture before/after metrics (errors cleared, sales restored, or uptime improved).
• Review machine, reader, or route settings to ensure they match location standards.

• Skipping a controlled test leads to false positives.
• Updating hardware without documenting configuration changes.
• Forgetting to verify payout, refund, or reconciliation data after changes.

• Run a final test with known-good inputs.
• Log the outcome with date, time, and device identifiers.
• Schedule a follow-up check if the location has high traffic or seasonal demand.
