Telephone shops

My wife and I have done a few telephone shops over the last couple of years. We enjoy doing them and would like to know if any companies specialize in them. Thanks Peacham1909

Service Trac does a ton of them, but be sure to search for all the posts on this company. There have been persistant payment problems reported here and in other fourums.

I used to do a lot of phone shops for CoRI, but in the past couple months, they haven't had many listed.

Bestmark will often have them, but sometimes they use them as 'bait' to make you take the unwanted shops.

I've gotten a few out of PROS and Cross financial. I also did one phone shop to a funeral home but I can't remember who it was for.

I don't know that there is any mystery shopping company that "specializes" in them. They are often an adjunct to an on site visit, though sometimes are presented as an additional and separate low paying job.

Quite a number of the sassie companies offer them either
monthly or occasionally. Try signing up with these companies.

I have also done a couple for Market Force, but I haven't seen any listed in a few months.

The funeral shops were painful. I felt like a prostitute.

I agree about the funeral shop, it just felt wrong! I also did a shop where I went into a store and pretended to be pregnant, thst didn't feel right either!

EPMS has phone shops all the time. I have completed more phone shops for EPMS than any other company. Mystery-Shoppers has them too. I have also completed phone shops for ACE and Intellishop. I am always on the look out for phone and web shops.

The thing with EPMS phone shops is that you have to complete so many site shops before they allow you to take the phone shops. They rarely have shops in my area so that leaves me out of the phone shops.
