    What would happen if I said 75p per mile?!


    They would either say Yes or No.

    Try it and see.


    - They could of course say no and never offer you any work again for being too greedy.

    They will either take your offer or not, generally I quote high if I don't really want to do the job, but for the right price I would help out.

    I believe quite a lot of these are on permanent allocation because you are representing the company in the shop. They probably release the ones they don't have standard takers for.

    I have done quite a few of these and the first one on a new batch or a new shop takes ages, after that it speeds up. The fee is not high for the work required but on the plus side there is not a lot of data entry.

    What way do you mean?

    I can see loads in this area and have picked up quite a few. Although, the fee is quite a small one bearing in mind its a 200 item stock check (smaller shops are 150 item), which then requires you upload the results onto Cyber

    How successful have people been in regards of the GFK supermarket visits, without giving too much away I find that a lot of the supermarkets have had no stock (baking products)

    This was a one off job and was an email invite. Just hoping for feedback from others, as the job is frustrating me so far. ;)

    I do a lot of phone shops for GFK, and loads of postal audits where they just use your address for test mailings. Got a lot of chemist audits booked for this month too.

    Also have done supermarket cafes in the past, although I havent seen those recently.
