Good to hear Rowntrees have started site finding

Post by dorsetvending »

It's so refreshing to hear Rowntrees have employed someone to find sweet tower sites. Who would have thought it!

Gavin,

Who cares mate?? The only people you will be damaging by writing this is most of us tower vending operators

We all know sites are hard to come by now days so we need anything we can to get in and if that means telesales using the name of a multi million pound company then so be it!

Posts like this just damage the vending industry further imo

Regards

Ross

Ross with respect if this is a forum where people in the trade are permitted to post within the rules about the various problems that happen then I will post.

If there are self appointed moderators that wish to comment about that I'm big enough to cope with that. After all I posted so expect feedback.

Damaging to the industry? That's debatable. Other practises that I have experienced are more damaging.

As you probably understand I used to offer site finding and know the difficulties very well. Without being too pious about it I always maintained that:

1. I would always explain clearly about any machines being sited.
2. If the site already had a tower I wouldn't poach the site.
3. If the site asked questions I would answer them truthfully.

Whether this works for everyone maybe not, but the operators appreciated the service and never had any surprises.

Just local businesses called by a lady from "Rowntrees" asking to put a tower in. Don't think it's Dial Marketing as Dianes supposed to be a cafe owner.

If you know who it is - please tell all, some of us are not long in being ripped off by Joe Penguin!

With a bit of luck, Rowntrees will get wind - no doubt in my mind they will deal with it legally.

So, who is it?

Or are you prepared to let fellow businesses get ripped off yet again.

I doubt it is Diane, she is up to eyeballs in dough!
