Core Characteristics of Pinball Machine Dealers Company Business Plans

Learning More About the Industry

As part of your due diligence on opening a pinball machine dealers business, it's a smart move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

However, an entrepreneur who owns a pinball machine dealers business in a location that is not competitive to you can be a great learning resource for you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
