The Sales Process Of Vending

In vending sales, success requires consistent commitment to a multiple set of processes whether you are a small operator or a large multi-state operator. In order to succeed in your Planet Antares vending business, you should be able to handle the high and lows of everyday sales life.

There are two sides to the vending industry. One includes the product, equipment and other goods and services that are sold to the vending operator. The other includes sales people who represent the vending operators who go out and try to get new business accounts.

On the supplier’s side, a salesperson does more of a relationship type selling process. You may be selling vending equipment or products at the regional level, it involves calling on the same people everyday. You need to undertake some steps in order to develop these relationships which will lead to the success of your Planet Antares vending business.

These may be:

1. Relationship development
When you meet a new customer, don’t approach them straight away with your vending products and ask whether they want to try it. First, you must get to know them by asking about how they started the business and whether the whole family is involved. Also, enquire about the ways in which they make their business successful.

Try to meet the route people as well as become involved in the vending association of your state. All this is essential to the success of your vending business.

2. Commitment
If you want to sell your vending products, you should be prepared to be committed to the success of your Planet Antares vending business. It’s important to get to know the customer, especially by the sales people on the operator side of the business who tend to focus on cold calling. This may involve calling new people everyday. You must develop relationships which can turn to referrals and eventually more business.

3. Objectives
Keep track of your monthly sales goals to determine how many cold calls you need to make in a day to get appointments. Next, you will need to determine how many appointments will be needed to create enough sales to meet your monthly sales goal.
