For me the visual standards go much faster. They are currently allowing us to piggyback them. At least that is what the email I got said. They seem to have a shortage of BP shoppers. I saw that coming when they messed up all our routes last year.
Here's what my email said:
" Hello!
Thank you for agreeing to perform a BP Consumer Audit opportunity! This email is to let you know that for a limited time you are also eligible to perform a different audit at the same location after you have completed your Consumer Audit and earn at least another $11.50 for spending just a little more time on site!
The BP Visual Standards Audit program is currently available to assign for the below location (s). It will require a second inside purchase and the assessment of many of the same site elements you are evaluating on the Consumer Audit with the focus on the BP brand standards at the site. The only requirement for performing both the Consumer and Visual Standard audits at the same location will be that you perform the Consumer Audit first as part of it must be done without having identified yourself."
If you want to do this (piggybacking) be sure and call them to make sure it's okay in your area.
