Marketforce payments

January 15, 2016 10:16PM
I do many shops for Marketforce, primarily (a burger place and a super market). I reside in South Florida. I was talking to my Daughter who lives in Long Island, NY and mentioned (the burger place) shops to her. To my surprise she said that the payment she receives from Marketforce is much higher than they pay me for the same shop. Oftentimes when they call me for a shop from the call center in India, I have to negotiate the pay rate, but even then she is paid more than I. Next tie I get a call I will negotiate harder.

Does anyone have similar experiences?

You may want to edit your post. Mentioning the MSC and the client in the same thread is a violation of your ICA and against forum rules.

It is a known fact that different geographic areas can demand higher Bonuses than others. Go ahead and ask, but do not be surprised if they do not play the game.

The call center is in the Philippines, and the employees are limited to what they can bonus to.

As noted, different areas justify different fees. Logistics is a big factor. In addition, the income base and costs of living in a geographical area is unfortunately a factor.

My posts are solely based on my opinions and for my entertainment, contact a professional if you need real advice.
