Marketforce rescheduling

I was wondering if anyone ever got warned or into trouble for frequent rescheduling? The ability to do it so easily is one of the things I really like about them but I find I'm doing it at least 25% of the time.

It seems, MF prefers you reschedule than cancel, but it does goes in to the "I am watching you, shopper-person file."

Maybe try to re-evaluate your original shopping days. Pick days within the time frame that you are less likely to be change. Some days or assignments can't be rescheduled.

Eh, I reschedule all the time with Market Force. *knock on wood* All appears to be OK with my standing with the company.

Let's take ratios: Imagine you have done 100 shops with Market Force. Now, how many of the shops have you rescheduled?

I reschedule with MF often. No one has ever said anything to me. In fact, they just called me about 30 minutes ago for a bonused shop. I didn't even answer the phone because I am totally overextended for the month of March already.

Because of the bad, bad weather, I think rescheduled about 5 times this month. That is more than my normal quota and I am a bit guilty. But the weather had been intolerable. I hope they understand.

Market Force cares not a bit if you reschedule, and there is certainly no penalty for doing so. The only thing they care about is ensuring completion of all jobs within the reporting window for each respective client. In some cases that is weekly (casual dudes), in other cases it is monthly (cell phones), and in other cases it is quarterly (the old gas station audits). They limit the number of times you can reschedule simply because if they allowed unlimited rescheduling, too many shops would end up at the tail end of the reporting window and the risk of not completing the period would be heightened due to flakeouts.

I probably have done a hundred and rescheduled 25. My strategy is to pick a date at the end of the range that I CAN commit to and then hope that something else nearby will open up that I can combine it with. I figure that moving the date up is always a good thing and if I have to move back I try to make it no more than 1 or 2 days. I have also discovered that no more than 1 reschedule is allowed, at least for the ones I tried.

I reschedule them all the time, rarely have ever cancelled one. Probably nearing 1000 completed. Do like dhilpert says. I will self assign ones I want (like arches, those dudes, or the drink one) and put date at end of available. If I find convenient to do earlier, will change to a date they show as available.

I am just recently envolved in Mystery shopping and I keep looking all the time for more shops here in St. John's, Newfoundland. I,m retired as an Occupational Health and Safety Officer for the Newfoundland Government and have a lot of value time to work part time.

All the best to everyone!
