6 dollar phone visit shops. Wow! Are they serious?

May 17, 2019 04:35AM
YES they are! A MSC recently posted 6 dollar phone shops, usually most phone shop in person visits pay at least $15 bucks (I work for at least 4 other MSC that do phone shops)...even for them this is a low ball of astronomical proportions. 40 shops posted in my area, not one picked up. I wouldnt do it even though I was close by at least 4. I do phone call shops for 6 bucks but to leave the house for that rate is insulting and you truely do lose money performing this shop.

I hope this get bonused because I am not leaving the house to roleplay and get haggled by thirtsy salespeople for $6.

Just a little rant, now back to happy smiling smiley

Exactly why I am taking a break. When I started over 7 years ago the phone shops paid between $14 - $25 and with the economy booming the MSC's have slashed their reimbursements. I really don't understand.

The same company has been trying to peddle these shops for the last 2 weeks, glad shoppers are NOT doing it.

40 shops still all available, the worst part is one day the raised the price to $10 and I actually did one (which was approved). The NEXT day it was back to $6 are the F*ckin kidding? REALLY? It is true the survey has no written part but to leave your home to go deal with greasy salespeople is just out of control. Odd part is I just go approved for a cell phone shop that pays $20, if they bonus it back to 10-15 bucks I'd just add that on and call it a day but boy the budget is tight on that one.

The sage continues.

On a positive note: I did some awesome free drinks and food recently that were credited immediately smiling smiley

Shop pay has been low lately. I saw phone shops for $9 with Market Force last summer. Field Agent has had phone shops for $4-$8 give or take.
