We have found
in our experience that many "business opportunities" promoters
are to be approached with caution. Many of these companies
appear in classified advertisements in local newspapers
offering "moneymaking opportunities." They present you with
a complete program of manual snack or wall-mount drink boxes
and guaranteed money-making locations.
People responding
to such advertisements usually receive by mail or telephone,
invitations to meet a representative of the company - usually
in a hotel or motel. There a salesperson may promise incredible
profits that the buyer can expect to earn on his investment.
Frequently, pressure tactics are used to encourage immediate
investment without careful study of the material. The equipment
sold by many promoters is overpriced and the company is
some fly by night outfit that changes its location of operations
to stay one step ahead of the courts.
The locations
given are typically establishments that are merely willing
to have machines on 1-heir premises and no qualification
assurance is offered. A vendor who starts with a poor location
will become discouraged and have a difficult time making
the transition to more qualified locations. The "business
opportunity" companies may promise a quick means to a "money-making
opportunity," however, we suggest before signing any agreement
that you critically investigate the opportunity. The Better
Business Bureau will be happy to provide you any information
they may have on a company.
Also ask
around on the many news groups and area chat rooms about
the company and see what experiences others have had using
a certain business or idea. As with any business the best
rule of thumb is use common sense and don't do anything
before you feel comfortable with the business you are making
the transaction with.
Make sure
you know all the facts about what you are getting and what
is the background of the business. Education is not hard
to get it just takes the right questions and assistance
in learning to make a logical choice. Vendweb is working
to build a wealth of information and resources to assist
our customers in making a good business decision and we
look forward to growing with you.
