Anyone else doing the NOK phone visits?

I completed five stores yesterday, not one of them had the type of demos/displays that the guidelines seem to expect. I wouldn't mind but the faffing about you have to do with filling out a short survey immediately after, then completing a crib sheet before then having to repeat your answers online AS WELL AS scanning your crib sheet and convert to PDF to upload as part of your online submission ... it hurts the brain.

Swerved them because of all that faff mate.

Agree - soon as you get rid of them more arrived. Surprised they take on these jobs from clients as they always seem to hang regardless of which agency have them.

Changed my profiles no longer drive or own a car lol

Ref Mystery Outsource, you have to send them an invoice. They have a pro forma so if you don't have one ask them for a copy. I know the owner has not been well lately and this has impacted on payments being held up.

Kind of annoying when none of their emails, work instructions or briefs mention this.

I got sent a pro forma invoice when I did my first assignments for the company. I don't do much for them now as my day job changed location but I know that things are not running as smoothly at the moment and I have had to chase payments.

I just got sent a pro forma invoice today. Will fill it in and send it off.

Anybody out there still working....

I am just doing the odd job which is easy to do and not involving trecking into retail parks or large shopping centres.

Filling in my'spare time' joining new agencies for the New Year, submitting my self assessment form and strangely enough getting a regular load of surveys from Pinecone - seven in the last week. (Thought they sacked me as not received anything for months).

Happily off to a outlet shopping centre this evening for a nice Christmas present for myself for a very decent reimbursement... due to my new job I don't do much anymore just dont have the flexibility. bits and bobs that pay for my car insurance, road tax and fuel.

Hope everyone is well, those who are still working are getting good bonuses and those who have put their feet up for the year having a well earned rest. Enjoy the festive period fellow MSers.

Yup, only for bonused visits and only for jobs where I can get in early.

I had three visits to one shopping centre this morning and I was done for 11am.
