The 7-Day Vending Challenge

Go from zero to your first real pitches in one week

One concrete action a day, each tied to the exact tool that does it. Finish the week with a target list, a written pitch, five pitches out, and a machine plan — not another folder of bookmarks.

Day 1 is a 60-second quiz and a free trial. No card required.
Honest framing: seven days is enough to start and build momentum — a list, a pitch, five real conversations, a sourcing plan. It is not enough to place a machine or hit $5,000 a month, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. The challenge gets every step that is in your control done fast; the placement and the first dollar come after.

First: set your number

Pick the monthly figure you actually want this to net, then work backward. To net about $2,000 a month at roughly $250 net per machine, you need around eight machines — and at a beginner close rate near one in five, that is about forty pitches. Model your own target in the free vending revenue calculator before Day 1. Every day below serves that number.
