Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys? (Part Three)

princess_leia_3

I need help with MS accounting I managed to d/l. I have got no idea what I am doing with any of it I am so blonde its unreal - maybe I should do accountancy now to help me (or not lol)

Is there an easy way to put all my shops in one place with cost/profit date of assign, paid etc?? I have found where to enter invoices and receive payments but they don't go anywhere like a central page or chart like I expected

I have used MS Money before and thought it would maybe something like that but this has boggled my mind!! Is there any tips or pointers you can give me or shall I just delete it and stick to paper and pen :rolleyes:

Maybe it would help if I understood Excel - Mmmm I will try and read up on that at some point tommorow!

Thanks Timmne or any help you can throw my way - you are a star :A

Anyone do the phone surveys for optimum contact? Just wondered what they are like to do?

Coffee shop question for all - what do you do about the 10 minute thing - how are you supposed to spend 10 minutes in the store BEFORE buying a take away drink? I'm thinking about buying a coffee to drink in and drink it before buying a take-away one!

I have no compunction about this. I just go to the loo, then return to the shop and throw myself into the nearest comfy chair with a book. If I DO get funny looks (and it hasn't happened for ages) I make a mock phone call to a partner, telling him I am waiting for him in the shop and asking where he is. I then get all annoyed and say if he's going to be THAT late, I'll meet him at home.... buy my take away coffee and leave!

I can't get into Gap and I need to download a local supermarket assignment for this morning :mad: :mad:

Never done one for this supermarket chain before so I can't even bluff my way through :mad:

Really annoyed

I have something done out in excel if you think it would be of any use. Bear in mind I've only started MS so I haven't really had a chance to pick up on any probs with it.

All information about them is on the survey page to download. The calls themselves are quite easy. The pages of the survey are easy to fill in as you just tick a box and write a comment in if the client tells you something. They are really easy and you get paid within a couple of weeks with them.
