Can you ever find out shop details before accepting a market force shop?

May 04, 2017 01:02AM
I am not new to mystery shopping but I am new to market force. Is there a way to see the details of the shop before accepting the assignment? I would like to try some new shops but it is hard to figure out if they would be worth my time with out seeing what requirements are involved prior to accepting the shop.

After answering the screener questions you will see some additional details. Nothing sneaky. Like most MSCs the full guidelines are only accessible after you complete the assignment process.

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

The shop details are meaningless. When you click on the "View Shop Details" link, the next screen shows just a single sentence followed by "More..." When you click on More, you get less. It's a generic word salad about cancellations and closed shop fees. It's a pig in a poke until you accept and read the guidelines. It's uninformed consent. For that reason, I wouldn't hesitate to return a shop immediately if the fee and guidelines weren't commensurate.

It's unfortunate too many shoppers are either fearful of never getting another assignment or are convinced once they have been assigned the shop is an unbreakable commitment. Yes, agreeing to complete a shop is an obligation, but see how far entering into a contract without being aware of all the details would fly in a court of law.

Keep in mind that other shoppers have shared information about their experiences with various Market Force shops. You might search this forum and find shop information indirectly in posts about various Market Force shops. This method does not provide any information that replaces actual shop instructions and guidelines, and you will have to use those if you accept and attempt any Market Force shops. Before accepting any of those shops, you might look for hints and tips for various client requirements. No guarantees. Just a thought. Good luck! smiling smiley

The way I see it, the shops don't offer enough compensation to warrant digging through the forum to find details or to deal with the annoyance of dropping a shop if it's more than what I thought I was bargaining for...
