To All Shoppers: | ||

Thank
you for your interest in being a part of the Market Viewpoint
mystery shopping team. If chosen to shop with us, you must keep
in mind that the reports you complete directly affect the lives
and careers of the persons being evaluated. It is for this
reason that Market Viewpoint requires that all persons are
treated fairly and considerately and that all projects are taken
very seriously.
Please take
the time to read over the policies of our firm. If you feel that
you understand and pledge compliance with these, fill out our
profile application in order to be considered for shopping
assignments in your area. All mystery shoppers who work for Market Viewpoint, LLC are independent contractors. As an independent contractor, you will be paid per project. The amount of reimbursement will vary from one project to another, but the range of reimbursements is between $10 and $100. There may also be times when you are reimbursed for certain purchases. The terms of each engagement with our firm will be spelled out in a letter that you will receive should you choose a project. We process contractor payments the last working day of the month following the month in which the project is completed, but reserve the right to adjust this date based on holiday and staff schedules. Shoppers are paid for all work and reimbursed purchases completed for their project(s). Please be advised that Market Viewpoint is now using PayPal to pay shoppers for completed assignments. Please make certain that the information in your shopper profile is correct, especially your communication email address and your PayPal address. Do not use an address that PayPal might recognize as a business account or they will deduct a fee. If you have any questions, ask your scheduler or go to www.paypal.com. Should you make $600 or more working with Market Viewpoint, LLC during the calendar year, we will issue you a 1099 Statement to be used in the filing of your Federal and State Income taxes. We also require that you complete and sign the necessary W-9 form that we are required to have on file for you. Market
Viewpoint, LLC reserves the right to withhold or adjust payment
for any work that is considered to be incomplete, falsified, or
late. |

At Market Viewpoint, we take an individualized approach with all of our clients. For this reason, shoppers are assigned based on the needs of our customers. The type of customer the client wants to attract is also taken into consideration, and shoppers can also be assigned based on matching the target market profile or demographic considerations of a project. Shoppers are
also selected based on their ability to complete assignments on
time, their writing skills, ability to follow instructions,
perseverance, observation skills, record-keeping practices, and
willingness to thoroughly complete all assignments. |

Our clients expect honest assessments of your experiences on your mystery shopping assignments. With that in mind, all of your work should be conducted with the highest standards of integrity and honesty. Accurate dates and times are critical to the reporting process as are the accuracy of your observations.

It is for this reason that Market Viewpoint requires that all persons are treated fairly and considerately, and that all projects are taken very seriously. Any shopper
who is suspected of falsifying reports will promptly be removed
from our database and will not be paid for the assignment. |

At Market Viewpoint we have very high writing skills standards. We firmly believe that the reports we submit to our clients are a direct reflection of us as a quality organization. We expect our shoppers to hold the same belief when they submit work to us. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, content, and coherence are all critical to this process. You should never submit your work without spell checking it. Some shoppers even get others to look over their work before they submit it to us. If your work
in this area is considered to be substandard, we will make
appropriate notations in our database and possibly remove you
completely should your work fail to improve. We invite you to
make use of some of the tools available on the Links
Page. |

Your schedule is flexible but deadlines are a critical component of the mystery shopping process. We require that you submit your completed report within 24 hours unless your instructions indicate otherwise or you have permission from the Market Viewpoint staff to vary from this standard.

uncertain about the various aspects or components of your shop,
you can call the Shopper Hotline at 1-888-942-7030 and a Market
Viewpoint representative will be happy to assist you. Always
inform us if you run into any problems or difficulties with your
shop or with meeting deadlines. Good communication is essential
to smooth mystery shopping and results reporting. |
