web inquiry and phone shops?

Hi, I really enjoy the web inquiry and phone shops. Anyone know some companies that offer these specifically or often?

This forum web site has info on mystery shopping companies. Go to the home page and look for it. There is also a web site, www.volition.com, that lists several mystery shopping companies. We can not give you specific information because of our ICA contract with each company we shop for. All of us were "newbies" at one time and had to start from the beginning. That involves time and research. You will also find tons of helpful information on this forum. Good luck and welcome.
Thank you, I found a recent post someone wrote that did not have a car and I will follow that.
Bestmark has quite a few.The narratives are pretty dense for the pay ($5.

Personally I prefer Reality Based Group's phone shops because they're recorded and super easy, and pay the same. ($5)

Plan the work. Work the plan.
I do quite a few for Bestmark, and I would not really classify their narratives "dense" even in comparison to RBG or others.
Bare International and Intelli-shop also offer some [recorded] phone shops. In fact, I just got an email for a new Bare phone project, so check out their board.

The harder I work, the luckier I get.
Mercantile Systems (on their Shopmetrics site, not their sassie site), DSG and A Closer Look all have phone shops also. But with DSG if you do one, then they will call you repeatedly asking you to do other shops.
How do you find the phone shops on Bestmark, Intellishop, etc? I hear they have them but all I ever see on BM is oil changes and new car shops. Do you have to register again for different things or what do you put in your search criteria to bring these up?
I have done phone shops for Bestmark, Ath Power Consulting and Intellishop. I have seen them also on Beyond Hello but have never done those.
The only phone shops I have done is for Shopper's Critique and I can find those because it gives you an option to search for telephone shops only. Wish they were all that simple. :-)
I know, they make it so hard because you can only expand your radius so far. And you have no idea what zip they use for the phone shops.
Most MSCs are hit-or-miss with phone shops. I hardly ever have phone shops immediately near me; I'm in South Carolina and I've done phone shops in NJ, TX, ND, TN, and others. Just search by zip code. Bestmark ALWAYS has shops closer to the end of the month for next month. This works for both phone and web (or "internet inquiry"winking smiley shops.
I do find it difficult to locate phone shops with Bestmark. I just enter random zipcodes hoping to hit something. It's a bit easier (if time-consuming) on the Sassie platform. I put in a radius of 999 miles, and just keep scrolling through the pages looking for fees under $10.
Maybe once we find a zipcode with a site that works for telephone or web inquiry shops we should post here and help others out :-)
For intellishop find out which ones are the phone shops by doing a state search in large states like CA, TX, etc. Then do a mile search putting 999 miles radius and you will find them. You can figure out from the payment which they are. Some right now are posted for $8 each.

Save yourself some time - after you search, click on "Cash Payment" and it will sort least to greatest or vice versa.
