Unlimited shops for marketforce

Did anyone see the post made today? I always suspected this was the internal policy because of what schedulers told me but i'm glad to see they are making it formal. Now I don't have to be scared that one of my highly bonused shops will be invalidated because I completed 5 shops in one day.


For most clients, you may do as many shops per day as you wish, but always leave enough time to complete each shop properly, take time after each shop to record the shop results before you move to the next shop, and report each shop accurately and promptly. For certain clients, there are restrictions on completing more than one shop per meal period and this information will be noted in your guidelines.

If you receive conflicting information on how many shops may be done in a certain period, please e-mail the Help Desk at helpdesk@marketforce.com before you proceed. Ultimately, the Shopper is responsible for his/her shop assignments, so please let our Help Desk resolve any conflicts before you do the shop(s).

Most of their FF shops state no more than one shop per meal period. How are you going to complete 5 shops a day?

You can couple four of their drive in shops with another ff (the drivethru/dinein one) for breakfast shop and that is five right there. Plus they have a lot of non-ff shops in my area I could fill up on 5 FF shops then add in unlimited amounts of cell-phone, atm withdrawal and retail shops. They also have late night fast casual that could be added as another ff shop to make the food shops 6 a day. I do 5 shops a day for them when schedulers offer me the shops and assure me that it is fine. I have also done two fast food at dinner (two different clients) because the scheduler told me that you only have to worry about overlap on a meal time if its the same client. Idk if thats true but those shops were a long drive for me and highly bonused so I did them and nothing happened, they were both approved. I haven't done it since then just bc I was wary of the guidelines. Anyway, I'm rambling bc its late but its absolutely possible to do more than 4 shops a day with MF depending on your market.
The bigger question is why would someone want to eat 5 or 6 FF meals in one day? That is disgusting and very unhealthy.
Wow

FYI they are now very clear that you can not perform more than one meal per time slot for them as a MSC.

They have more shops than just FF.
They have retail and bank shops as well. They do not have FF only, otherwise I would not be able to do any for them.
Thank you! Sensible information.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

From the page where you accept an assignment:

"To prevent errors in mixing up reports that may be caused by doing multiple shops on the same day, you may only shop a maximum of 4 shops (regardless of project) per day. Two (2) fast food shops may NOT be done during the same meal period. Please keep this in mind when you accept and schedule shops. Thank you."

So to the OP wow, yes you can do more than 4 shops a day but only if you are mixing in other MSCs.

To me it is rather ambiguous and ambiguity with Market Force can equal deactivation. IMO, until it is made perfectly clear, tread softly and carry written proof. I've been approved for 5 to 8 shops in a single day on occasion and those emails are kept close by in case of questions.

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

Isaiah- yes, this has always been the stated policy but it seems that has changed based on the update I posted above. Also I have been told several times by schedulers that it is simply not true. In fact, I have never had that policy stated to me by anyone, only the opposite.
In regards to ff shops. I was told by scheduler that 30 minutes between shops starting and ending time is satisfactory. So if you have 2 ff shops at same client, start 1st one about 30 minutes before its normal ending time. Then waste a few minutes and drive slow to next shop as long as you start it at its normal time and its been 30 minutes between ending one and starting another. Have not had any problems. As for eating all that food. No way, just one bite of sandwich, 1 fry, and 1 sip of drink unless really thirsty.
Thats weird - are you sure they meant your schedule conflicts and not some internal schedule conflict? because I have definitely done three fast foods plus one fast casual on more than one occasion.
I only wish I could have near the amount of shops many of you have! All I ever see are the fast casual and fast food shops. I just did a search of available jobs, and I had to go 50 miles out before I could find a non ff/fast casual shop, and there was only one listed! Anyone know if restrictions are put on shopper accounts? I used to do grocery audits for a certain store, for about a year with no reporting problems, then all of a sudden they're gone, never to be seen again. I do see audits for a different chain occasionally....

That is why you have to sign up for a lot of MSCs. I currently have 30 that I have signed up for. Out of the 30, 6 or 7 have only a few shops in my area that are on rotation of 180 days or more. A couple have never had a shop within reasonable driving distance. I see where some people have over 100 companies that they work for. Still working on getting some more myself.
I was told by a scheduler that you can do up to 10 shops a day now but I don't see that in writing anywhere either.

This isn't for MarkerForce but another MSC. I was able to do a Fast Food lunch dine in and then a drive thru FF lunch at the same location. They were located in a small town about an hour north of me that has a hard time getting the shops done. I was going to be in that town anyway, so I figured why not do it. At first they said no then I told the scheduler that I only go up that way about once a month and that I wasn't driving up there a week later for the low pay that they offered for the shops. So he said to do them as far apart as I could. So I did.
Like I posted in the other thread, it is not working out where I live. No one is doing them, so restricting me is nuts. They end up calling me with much more money to do them, so they can meet the clients' deadlines.
Oh really? Did a scheduler restrict you? I've had soooooo many schedulers tell me different things when it comes to scheduling. I really think they pick and choose what the rules are when it benefits them and if Marketforce really needs the shops done they look the other way.
Weird. My number hasn't been restricted, but there are shops that used to show up that don't anymore. Certain big money audits. I can't tell if they don't do them anymore or if something else is going on?
I was told by a scheduler there was a restriction for me. I would guess I've done too many of a certain client and they want new shoppers to do the shops. They are calling me now and offering much more money because "new shoppers" aren't doing them or they aren't in my area.

I don't see certain shops on the web. I had a friend look for me and she can see them, so there you go. It's not a bad thing. It's something they're trying out.
I never see any high bonused shops on my boards. The only time I get them is when the schedulers actually call me and offer them to me. The rest of the time they are on the list for the same low pay. I have not been offered any of the jobs that I have been getting for this month though. I am wondering if someone else in my area signed up and is doing them for the low board fee.
I see tax shops and dudes. 8 shops total!

They might change their plan because I'm sure it's not working the way they wanted it to.

Oh well. smiling smiley
