Jm Ridgway suggestions?

July 26, 2018 03:08AM
Hi all, I've never shopped Jm Ridgway and I have a few days off next week from my day job.I signed up for 6 storage shops for jm ridgway around a month ago. The scheduler told me I could do all six but to use a different name for all of them. She said each one should take 20 minutes tops; just basic inquiry and a couple photos required. So my question is what to expect on the narrative? Mostly essay? Mostly multiple choice? The reason I ask is because I work Monday through Friday, I don't get a chance to do alot of mystery shopping during the week and thought I would do a bunch I wouldn't normally be able to do during the week. The only problem is I don't know how much time to expect on the narrative for this company. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance!!!

Dawn,

I completed four shops for Ridgeway and received my money, BUT, in each instance it was necessary for me to contact the company for my pay. which was always past due. As that was in 2006 and 2007, they may have corrected the problem.

I have enjoyed nothing but the best with J.M.R. Good scheduling, simple reports, on time payment.

OP, if you have signed up for the shops, read the guidelines and look at the survey forms.

I did multiple storage shops for them when I was a full time shopper. The shops must have been pretty decent for me to do them over and over. I do remember staying away from the bed shops after doing my first one.

Since you are off for a few days, sign up for an apartment shop with EPMS or Remington Evaluations.

Mmmm I've done four or five storage shops with JM Ridgway and I love them. The onsite visit takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes, and the report has a decent mc/narrative ratio, that takes me no more than 30 minutes tops. The storage shop I would stay away from unless heavily bonused is that darn cube smart one. That is too much darn narrative.

@HonnyBrown...what I'm noticing as I do mystery shopping more and more is I'm much better with very little interaction shops. For example, shops like a drive through or having to ask a sales person just a couple questions. The scenario ones I really struggle with. I'm sure that will change as I get more experience though. The apartment ones make me very nervous for some reason, so will have to wait on those. Regardless,thanks for the suggestion...
