Who was your first?

Which MSC was the first you signed up with? Who was the last?

My first was Ellis (EPMS). I signed up with them in 2012 but did not start shopping until 2016. The most recent MSC I signed up with is MarketWise Consulting Group. I am currently signed up with 29 companies, looking for that special #30

Thought you meant "First love", my first shop was (i think) either Intellishop,Bare, Cirrus, and Mercantile.
Still working for NSS, Mercantile, Customer Impact, Service Sleuth and a few others. No longer intellishop or Cirrus (my choice).

Market Force was first... Service Sense was most recent. I'm around 93 now.

I think my first shop was a Lowe's, if that gives you any clue. No idea how many I"m signed up with now. Enough to keep my email (and me) jumping.

RSG (Research Services Group ) before they merged with Beyond Hello and Insula and became SeeLevelHx.

My first company was in 1992 and I think it may have been called Mystery Shopping Inc. I really don't recall anymore

Her Serene Majesty, Cettie - Goat Queen of Zoltar, Sublime Empress of Her Caprine Domain

That's a bit personal isn't it?!?!

First was a wing shop for GfK. The most recent shop was for Clear Evaluations.

My first was Bestmark. Had me some baby back ribs / bah-ba-cue sauce. Only worked for them like 4 times before realizing the pay was garbage.
My last?? Hmm....It's been a while. Probably one of the companies I haven't worked for since. Maybe B Biz Sol?

Intellishop was my first signup. My first shop was with Bestmark.
My most recent signup was a few months ago with Technology Store Services (not sure of their exact name).

Secret Shopper took my MS virginity.

Shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado. 33 year old male and willing to travel!

Bestmark. And I'm still with them.

Working in S. Arkansas and N. Louisiana!

My first shop was with Quest for Best (back in either 1999 or 2000), and my last one was for Maritz. I am currently signed up with 90+ companies and may be adding more at some point in time.

MSPA Silver Certified. Shopping San Francisco, the North Bay Area, and beyond.

Oh hrm. I read that as the last shop, not the last shop for a new to me company. Totally different answer! Ummmm. I really can't remember.

First was Confero (answered an ad on craigslist of all places). Most recent was Field Agent which I guess qualifies. Still doing work for both.

Shopper's Inc. was my first shop for a pizza place 2014. Boy was I nervous lol! Last one that I got an assignment for and signed up with would probably be BARE.

Marketforce was my first. I just registered with Service Savvy.

My first shop was for Market Force around two years ago. My how times have changed. Back then, MF was my main $ MSC. Now, they aren't even in my top 10. I recently signed up with Customer Service Experts.

My first was Trend Source. The most recent was Data Quality something or another.

My first was market force. Good learning experience. I'm no longer with them because I had too many errors within a certain time period. That's ok because I'm signed up with about 90 others that offered better fees.

Bestmark was my first MSC.

1st: Service Sleuths
Last: I have no idea.

I'm now 9 months in (birth!). First shop - Pinnacle new account opening (how's that for initiation?).
Last shop - phone shop today for Customer Prophet cause I had to stay home and wait for a plumber.

Susie shopping the Columbus Ohio area and outlying communities.

My first was Strategic Reflections and my most recent was Ipsos. I actually am only signed up,with about 20 companies which keeps me pretty busy with my full time job but I might have to add some more now that I have been at this for a year.
