ABOUT US
Business Solution Survey Shopping Research Inc is a premier company, serving clients across America with over 500,000 shoppers available and ready to help businesses serve better their customers. Secret consumer is a tool used externally by our company as well as other market research companies or watchdog organizations or internally by companies themselves to measure quality of service or compliance to regulation, or to gather specific information about products and services. We are currently coordinating a program of market surveys within the United States.
With regards to our offer to you, we would assign to you business and franchise locations within your area to survey. Your tasks would entail visiting the business entities assigned to you and evaluating the quality of service rendered by them.
You would be required to visit business and franchise locations such as stores, restaurants, banks, movie theaters, hotels and other businesses in your area, as a regular customer. We would provide funding to enable you account as any regular customer and experience the quality of service rendered at such a location.
You would be required to gather information about the quality of service by staff, behavior of staff and other issues at such locations. It is your customer-experience feedback that we value during such surveys.
The data to be collated from the surveys provide valuable customer-experience feedback to businesses within the United States. This enables our clients to serve their own end-customers better.
You would be paid $200.00 for every on site-customer survey you complete. The number of assignments per week vary based on location. The assignments would be provided to you weekly, for a duration of time.
We wish to state clearly here again that your participation is at no cost to you. We will never ask you to conduct surveys using your own money with a promise to reimburse you. Funds, to cover your remuneration and for all onsite surveys expenses, would be provided to you before you undertake any assignment. We would also provide transport and gas money.
We also understand that prospective evaluators may have full time jobs. In this regard we would be flexible and expect you to conduct the surveys when convenient, such as after working hours.
Your employment packet includes shopping evaluation form, a training assignment which we will be sending to you after you received payment for the assignment.
If you wish to participate in this program, please indicate your interest by completing the details necessary in the form below.
