Booking a placement appointment

Set a quick placement review call.

Updated Feb 9, 2026

Overview

Phone calls convert best when your opener is concise and you lead with a clear benefit to the location. Set a quick placement review call.

Diagnostics

  • Confirm you reached the decision maker.
  • Identify current vending provider and pain points.
  • Note best call times by industry.

Resolution steps

  • Use a 20-second opener and request a quick evaluation.
  • Offer to send a one-page summary before a visit.
  • Set a firm follow-up time if they are busy.

Preventive maintenance

  • Call at consistent windows each week.
  • Rotate scripts to avoid sounding scripted.
  • Log call outcomes and objections.

When to contact support

  • Switch to email + voicemail combo after 2–3 attempts.
  • Request referral to facilities or HR.
  • Offer a short trial placement.

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

Expanded guidance

  • 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.

Common pitfalls

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

Next-step checklist

  • 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.
