Hai. I'm Joe.
I've been doing mystery shops since 2001 and have at best guess about 7,500 jobs. I'm a route shopper at heart and moved into video shopping because its lucrative and I like to travel. I've gone over 50,000 miles for shops in the last year and I love me an upscale. I spend about 4,000 a month in shops and have made just about every mistake imaginable at some point. If I respond to your post about ajob question it's likely because I know the answer or have @#$%& it up before. I dont normally give guesses. If I'm responding to your question about a job but it's almost certainly because I've conducted it. I don't give statements about the things i haven't done because it's intellectually dishonest and I can't know if what I say is true. I've done alot of jobs and I know a lot of people and love to share what I know.
I can be pretty blunt and text is terrible to convey meaning but assume you can take what I say literally or at face value. If I think you're an @#$%& I'd say so. If your interpretation requires an assumption or doesnt match my literal words lemme know so I can clarify. Ill be happy to explain. I would go so far as to say the majority of issues on forums like this are misunderstanding on communication. And this stems from it being next to impossible to imply tone through a text post
I currently run four businesses and one of them has a hand in those piracy gigs you see posted. Im happy to share details about any of my MSP type jobs or any of the other businesses in general. I'm extremely motivated, don't suffer ridiculous and high maintenance people, and am about the hustle. Ill get along with similar people the best. If you want to go all in on shopping then I'm your guy and will show you how I and others I know have done it. This is not for the once in a while shopper or those with lots if hangups about job requirements and where you might have to travel to. If you're going to min/max you have to have some creativity and tougher skin because its hard to make it work otherwise. This level of shopping takes money, time, and systems.
Hope to meet some cool people and share lots of tips.
