Market Force rude and pushy callers.

I received a call from Market force and was asked to do a shop in a town about 30 miles away, I told them I couldn't do it, my father in law died and I had visitation and a funeral this weekend. The person got very pushy started saying, "you can do it today, you can do it for $8.00," I replied "no, I can't I have a lot going on this and it's just not possible," she replied you want more money I give you $12.00," again I replied "no I have a funeral." From there she just continued to raise the money and push more and more you can do it, I finally said, "no and I am hanging up," I was in tears at this point and in complete disbelief that someone could be so rude. I'm not going to accept anymore of these calls from them, every time they call I get someone in a foreign country, speaking broken English wanting me to go a ridiculous amount of miles for less than what they are offering on the board. It's really sad, because I like working with this company.

Yeah they're kinda clueless. And I love it when they offer you less than the current price on the website.

i recently did one that's about 40 minutes away because I was going to be up there and needed to kill some time (plus the fries). I can hardly wait for them to call me and ask me to do it again.

I got a call asking about a shop for today or tomorrow. I didn't want to cook tonight, so we'll be eating burgers and fries. The interesting thing is that the scheduler said they'd give it to me for my "usual" $18. I didn't bother to tell her that the most I've ever got for that location is $15 (and now I can ask for my "usual" when they call next time).

That is great if it works.

Interesting.. I always got my "usual $18" for one location but this week I got $25 for it because no one had taken any of last week's shops (it was being offered on the website, after they rejected my offer for $25). Next time they call me to do it, I'll see if they offer me the usual $25 or if I will have to ask for me, and whether they agree to give it to me again.

They will probably offer $18. They always offer $18, they like that number. But if you counter and insist on the 25 they "usually give you" they will probably tell you they will ask / submit for approval and let you know. Then the approval email will arrive shortly. They will make you ask for it each time but they won't put up much fuss before giving it to you.

The 908 schedulers, the ones I work with most, don't negotiate anymore. They know what bonuses I like and which locations I do.

Have they stopped calling? I haven't heard from them in a few weeks since I didn't take their call one day.

I got a lot of calls this week from them. One last minute shop I took from their website for $25. That will be my new fee for that location when the schedulers call.

They continue to call me, but I screen my calls and don't pick up unless it's somebody I really talk to. They don't leave messages. If they would, I'd call them back if I were interested in the shop. I can't fill a shop if I don't know what they want.

A change in rules? I got a call from the overseas scheduling department and right off the bat they offered me the bonus I got last time for the same location. Usually they start at $3 lol.

They rarely call guess I should give them my new number.
