Sound advice!!

I would always advise re-checking at least once a year, as you say managers/landlords come and go and it's always worth going over old ground every so often. :)

Hi to all, on a slightly different note does telesales work for siting hot drink vending machines as well as the tower industry?
I'm still kinda new to the hot drinks side and was wondering if it's worth paying a premium to a site finder if it's going to get my foot in the door?
Cheers Chris

I feel VERY foolish. I paid him £67.50 on a BOGOF basis for five sites @ £13.50 each i.e. for ten altogether. He now seems to have gone AWOL. No replies to texts or emails. Advice, anyone?

I'm thinking: small claims court? How easy/hard is that process? Would love to get a CCG slapped on him and on his financial (and criminal?) record. Yawn - what a hassle. Is it worth it for £67.50 but I'm thinking YES how dare he think he can get away with it.

(Disclaimer- if he subsequently and SOON contacts me with a decent explanation, I will renege on what I say above. But even if he's been bereaved/gone on holiday - these days how can one not find time to send one quick email/text message to explain and put things on hold?)

Like many businesses, they have good intentions when they set up but subequently could not deliver on promises and soon dissapear - still owing people money. This we may find is what possibly has happened to Joe. If you want to find him try the 'Net Church in Sittingbourne' on Sunday Morning. There was a link to this organisation from his website.

Hi Guys hope all is well. Just to add, I get great response cold calling and I only call in the odd place when servicing my machines, I've got at least 10 good sites in the last month. Its worth getting the knock backs to gain the site. Mike
