In this episode, Quin gives us a rundown of his background and how he started his career out, what led him to leave his job, and what inspired him to get into the vending machine business. He also talks about the money-making aspect of vending machines, the importance of cold calling, and how the vending machine business is actually an inexpensive method of earning money and it doesn’t even require that much capital! If you’re looking for a business venture or possibly a side hustle, then you’ll want to listen to Quin and his tips for you on how to get started on your vending machine business!

Quotes from this episode:

“When I started making calls on the vending side, it was just a local sale, and I realized, “Hey, I can do really well on this… I'm just going to bet on myself.” (9:38)
“I would recommend getting into sales and learning some processes and then jumping in entrepreneurship.” (13:35)
“We're talking about growing corporate versus entrepreneur. Those are lessons that you learn a lot in corporate… A lot of people, they don't get that. They miss that fuse, and that stuff is important. If somebody calls you and you missed the call, you lost that business forever, especially on an SMB side. ” (26:58)
“The general rule of thumb that I say to people is buy nice, offer low.” (32:53)
