Budget and commission fit

Qualification prevents wasted time by confirming traffic, decision authority, and fit. Confirm financial alignment.

• 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.
