Decision-maker qualification

Qualification prevents wasted time by confirming traffic, decision authority, and fit. Identify who can approve placement.

• Confirm headcount or daily traffic.
• Verify decision-maker availability.
• Check space, power, and placement constraints.

• Use a 3–5 question pre-qual checklist.
• Schedule a site walk if qualified.
• Decline low-fit locations politely.

• Define a minimum traffic threshold.
• Use a consistent scoring method.
• Capture notes for future follow-up.

• Request a pilot if traffic is uncertain.
• Ask for a 60-day sales review instead of a long contract.
• Offer a smaller footprint unit.

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.

• Document changes with time, machine ID, and location name.
• Verify settings, pricing, and service modes after each fix.
• Capture before/after results to confirm resolution.

• Test with known-good inputs and controlled conditions.
• Validate telemetry, alerts, and payment logs where applicable.
• Confirm location expectations and update the site contact.

• Configuration drift after firmware or component swaps.
• Inconsistent power or network conditions at the location.
• Gaps in preventive maintenance routines.

• Monitor for 7 days and note any repeat errors.
• Schedule follow-up if the site is high-traffic.
• Escalate with full logs and photos if issues repeat.
