MUMOF2 WROTE:

I've just input my first report for Grass Roots but how do I get it to them?

I keep thinking in a little while I won't be asking all these silly obvious questions, but in the meantime thanks everyone for being so patient

_______________________________________________________________________________________________


If I recall there are a couple of boxes at the bottom of the report. You first have to do the spell check so you have to click on the spell check box, I think then there might be a review button which you have to click to check your answers and then a box will appear with a green tick in it. You click on this box to submit the report. This might not be exactly accurate as I have not done one for a while but it's something along those lines.

All done now - many thanks!

I can't get past the test on my GfK bank one...anyone else having trouble?

Dont accept the phone call, accept the chat and dont accept the full interview. It's different because we use to have to accept the phone call.

I'm writing an ebook on mystery shopping including the ones to be wary of, the decent companies and some tactics on covert shopping etc. It's a growth market is covert audits and I'm reviewing each store and how easy / hard they are to audit...

Would that interest anyone on here, I can offer some freebie copies once it's all finished!

Just be careful not to name the clients?? Remember confidentiality agreement!

I asked about this earlier today. Apparently no one has received their payment yet for the catalogues. My visits were also in the first week of August. Perhaps I should drop them a line. Will let you know the outcome.

I had to call them today about a query on a job so asked about these payments! Apparently they have been sent today so watch out for the postie from tomorrow!!:T

Quite impressed with Aba-i so far! Wondered why I only had a****** then followed the links on the first page and added a few more! Sure i'm missing some but no idea where to find them or what to look under etc! Did my first pstrol station one today for them and that went well. I emailed yesterday as work is SO hectic this week (one vet down...) and they agreed to rearrange the catalogue MS to Sunday so I am very happy with that

RE emailed and phoned and changed the date of a pub/club visit for next Friday which is quite annoying as I wasnt going to be in town then but never mind!

Great that the feedback has been so positive, any input that you may have or think should be included, please drop me a PM, I'll get some freebie copies out of course but the plan is to sell it on ebay going forward.....

Are you taking information that people have posted on here for your book? I give advice to assist others and I don't expect anything in return. I would be unhappy if information I've posted in good faith was sold on ebay, which has happened in the past.

Also when newbies come on and ask if they should buy the book as they have done with others, they'll get the standard response of "no you can find all the info for free if you spend time looking around the internet."

ABAi will be sending the red shops early next week. There are three red shops, I'm talking about the one that is first alphabetically.

Hello Everyone!
Firstly, has anyone received their Abai payments in the post yet for work done beginning of August? Getting worried.....

Secondly, can anyone recommend a good mobile phone which gives you email alerts & internet, i.e one you use for MSing to get your jobs while you're out and about?

Thanks.
MG.

I'm sorry if anyone's already asked this, haven't had a chance to read back! I just wondered whether anyone had recieved their payment for Abai catalogue visits from last month yet? I thought it was meant to be 3 weeks after you do the job, but I did one on 2nd Aug and haven't got my payment yet - starting to get a bit worried, esp with their notoriously unsafe payment method!

Thanks in advance x

ABAi Red shops will be with us soon peeps!! This is the 2nd month running now that they've been slow to pay us, still, could be worse, they're not as slow as BARE!

Doubt you'll have any success...type in Mystery Shopping on eBay and look at what’s available....and if you click on completed listings (worldwide too) you'll see it just doesn't sell.

You will have allsorts of problems with the MS companies too...any whiff of their info and they would pull you off and slap on a legal suit. At the bottom of any search on eBay are legit links to Mystery Shopping companies so my guess is they monitor carefully as they pay eBay to advertise their links.

And anyone with the brain to Mystery Shop successfully, knows you do not have to part with any money to find the info. Most agencies have comprehensive manuals (granted some not as good as others) and we have a network of people who happily advise for free. Much more reliable than some pieced together manual from any old bod extorting our hard earned pennies.

Waste of your time....find a better use of your time.
