You've decided you want to make a little extra money for your business, so you explore your options and the best choice seems to be putting an ATM machine in your store. Ok, decision made, but now what? You need to choose from whom you want to purchase your machine. Here are some tips to consider while you shop for your ATM distributor:
- Interview several ATM distributors before settling with one. Does he listen to your needs and offer advice or does he just bombard you with a high-pressure sales pitch? Does he answer your questions or at least promise to get one for you in a timely manner?
- Is he knowledgeable about the products? This is kind of a no-brainer. All you should have to do is tell him what you are looking for and he should be able to suggest various models that fulfill your need. He should look at your space and be able to recommend the right machine as well as advise you on possible security measures and maintenance.
This is a major investment for you and you need to know that you are getting the right product. The only way to make sure of this is by choosing someone who knows his inventory and the benefits of each machine.
- What kind of support is he offering? Is there a charge for installation or is it free with purchase? What about the glitches that occur at 11:30 at night? Many ATM distributors provide round-the-clock technical support and this service should come with the purchase of a machine.
- Is he going to take the time to instruct you on operating the machine? Included in the purchase and installation, your ATM distributor should not only supply you with a manual, but he should also personally instruct you on machine operation and basic maintenance.
- Is he flexible about payment? Whether you are a new business owner or an established one, purchasing an ATM can be an expensive investment. If you need it, many sellers offer a payment plan or you can ask if they have a lease program.
- What about repairs? Will the seller fix the problem for free or is repair service offered under a purchase plan?
- Are marketing products included or available for purchase? You have to advertise that you have a machine on the premises if you want this investment to be profitable. People look for those signs- it brings them to get cash and then they typically spend some money while they are in there.
