Beauty Products Shops w/ Indulge or Replenish Scenario

January 30, 2015 12:51AM
I'm hoping someone is familiar with these shops. The MSC has them labeled as Beauty Products Shop and are limited to female shoppers only. The summary says there are "indulge" and "replenish" scenarios.

Do you happen to know who the client is? I've deliberately left off the name of the MSC. There are several on the job board in Florida, and I'm considering putting together a route for early next week. What is this shop like? How's the report?

If it's the one I'm thinking of the brand is right in the title of the guidelines. It's also listed in the MSC's certification list, which you have to take before you can self-assign the jobs. There are 2 different kinds of shops (if it's the right one). One that reimburses you up to $30 for a purchase. The other is just a shop fee. I don't think they are bad, but they want a lot of direct quotes, like what kind of open-ended questions did the beauty ambassador ask.

I enjoy them but you MUST get a name and MUST be able to recall direct quotes. If you do more than one per day it would be a necessity to either audio record in states that allow that or take notes directly after the shops. I did this by bringing the guidelines in my purse and then ducking in a mall bathroom right after, or last time I just found a bench in a different wing of the mall and took notes on my smartphone. If you wait unti you get home, you'll be toast.

I agreee with the others that the MSC is looking for VERY SPECIFIC information. When I did this shop as a 'replentish scenario' a couple of months ago I didn't go into enough detail and got a follow-up email looking for more. My demonstration was basically the associate putting a bit of primer on the back of my hand and telling me to rub it in; when I described just how things played out they accepted the store.

I'm running out of 'warmth' face color, so I hope I can snag one of the other locations in town this month!
