Today was my lucky day . . .

I had 3 schedulers for Publix call me and offer me $20 for each location. I know it was the end of the month and so I told them I would do them for $30 each. All of them told me that they couldn't do that but I told them to see if they could make it happen, I would do it. Guess what - all 3 were assigned to me. They are normally $6 shops with a $10 reimbursement. Yes, please - and they are all within 5 miles of my house =)

That's great! I'm glad you had a good day.

Motivation increases when we assume large responsibilities with a short deadline.
When I say $30, that is my polite way of saying no to the overseas people. When an American calls you from that company, you know they are serious and willing to negotiate as well as have the authority to decide on your counter offer.

I picked up three Publix shops last month that needed to be shopped the next day and got good bonuses on them with calls.
That is awesome! I had a scheduler call me for a Publix today too, but I didn't counter. I need to get better about that.
Sometimes I feel like writing the MSC and saying since these shops are orphans and you always call at the end of the month with a large bonus if I can do then like tomorrow why don't you save us time and go ahead and just start them at a higher fee. That way when you are desperate I can ask for even more and probably get it.
I would much rather have gotten lucky that way, than with my end of the month bonuses smiling smiley

Somewhere in the Midwest, shopping / auditing full time since 2014. Will use PV-500 for food! smiling smiley
