May I ask how the platering is going now and what company you did the course through as I am considering doing this so I can do my own house.

Hi

I used The Elite School of Platering https://www.tesop.co.uk - they are based in North Manchester - since doing the course I've done a couple of jobs, a freebie and a paid job. I am training as an electrician at night-school so I thought during the summer acquiring a back up/complementary trade would be a good idea. I owe the guys at tesop a gratitude, the course was well run and at the end of the day I left there able to plaster. It cost £260 + £75 for accomodation. The cost of the course is probably less than getting a plasterer in.

I dont think this mystery shopper company has been on before

There was an advert in Health & fitness magazine

http://www.mysteryleisure.co.uk/webforms/index.htm

You get free membership a a gym for upto 3 months - this is the company

http://www.lafitness.co.uk/

How do I arrange a visit/Do you assign visits?
Once you have been approved through our application process, You need to contact our office by telephone to arrange a convenient date to visit the leisure club for the first time. We will advise you on the dates and times of day which you can visit on.

What do the visits involve?
Only two of your club visits will involve completing a questionnaire on your observations and these visit dates will be agreed with The Mystery Leisure Company. The first will be a sign up assessment visit ( your very first visit to the club). The second with be an assessment of standards observed on a particular day plus opinions of your club experiences to date. The rest of your visits can be done in your own time at times to suit you. For all of your visits we will require you to complete 2-3 sentences about your visit in your online visit log page.

You will agree your first sign up assessment visit with one of our schedulers, which will be set for a specific location, date and time window. Just like a regular customer, you will be required to turn up unannounced and enquire about the possibility of joining the club. You will observe a range of customer service issues, such as staff helpfulness and club standards. You will then tell us about your experience by completing a questionnaire online.

Following a few visits under your own steam we will then arrange another assessment date for you to visit the club and observe a set of criteria briefed beforehand.

I've registered with a couple.

You do have to pay to register, but it does work. I've been really busy and haven't managed to list anything lately on ebay, but what I have listed has mostly sold!
The Select is one of them, ats distribution is another.

Dropshipping (Quote from one of their websites):
"Simply advertise our products on your own website or auction site etc. When your product sells you simply buy the item off us and we'll ship it directly to your customer in plain packaging. So there's no initial outlay and you're not stuck with stock you can't shift! You can also buy in bulk at cheaper prices, we'll store the items for you free of charge and send the items out individually to your customers.

This scheme is completely free of charge but we do ask for a £xxx deposit which is refunded on your first order. Once you have made payment, you can then download a text document with further details."
