Top 3 ATM Business Productivity Tips

As with any business, especially a small business, sometimes we’re not always productive.
You know what I’m talking about, right? We tend to be busy a lot, but is it just busy
work that we’re doing or is it productive work that we are getting done to ensure that our business is more successful?

ATM Business Productivity Tip #1

This is probably the number 1 productivity tip I have for you and your business. Write it down. Every night or every morning you should write down the things you’d like to do for that day (for me, I find writing it down at night and then reviewing it in the morning helps to cement it in my head what I need to accomplish for the day.) This is your MUST DO LIST….tasks that can be directly related to increasing your profit in your business or building stronger relationships.

For instance, maybe tonight you write down that you want to talk to the owner or manager at ABC store and the owner or manager at XYZ restaurant because you think both of them would be a great place to have your ATM located in. Maybe you also write down to introduce yourself to 1 new person tomorrow and eventually tell them what you do and hand them a business card (that of course says that you pay referral fees somewhere on it.)

Bonus Productivity Tip

Try to make your list small. Don’t put 553 things on it when you know that you really only need to get down 5 things that are SUPER important and productive for your ATM business. Keep it small, keep them very specific as to being productive and income generating and make it a point to cross them off your list by days end.

ATM Business Productivity Tip #2

You should always be talking to new business owners that have locations that you’d like to put your ATM in. Your business depends on you putting your ATMs in decent, well-performing locations, so you should always be talking to new business owners trying to place new ATMs.

Bonus Productivity Tip

If you are always talking to new business owners and they are very interested in you placing your ATM in their location but you don’t have any way to purchase a new ATM then consider moving one of your underperforming ATMs to this new location. (Make sure that you’re really confident that this spot will be worth the move.)

ATM Business Productivity Tip #3

A great productivity tip that can reallyyyyy help you to be successful is to constantly be communicating and networking with folks. These people don’t have to be the type of people that I mentioned above. In my scenario above you spot a location that you’d like to put your ATM in so then you proceed to talk with the business owner about that possibility.

With this productivity tip I want you to always be talking to people no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Always have a business card handy and make sure you always strike up a conversation with them and you eventually want them to ask what you do. You, of course, will tell them that you’re in the ATM business and you’ll proceed to explain your business and then ask them if they know of any locations that’d be a good fit for your ATM business.

Bonus Productivity Tip

Join Toastmasters or any type of business networking organization like BNI, or Chamber of Commerce, etc. There will be plenty of business owners there that may have locations that you’d be interested in but more importantly they know more people and more business owners so they may send referrals your way.
