Getting the Assignment

You have successfully signed up as a shopper, now what?  Wait?  Well, sort of..    

For AboutFace™ assignments will come to you through e-mail.  Because of this, you MUST have your shopper profile updated at all times.  Log back in and make modifications to it whenever your phone, address or email changes.  Most companies require this sort of update.

We schedule shops through an automated system that uses latitude and longitude, as well as zip code.  For this reason there is no reason to campaign via schedulers.  The best way you can make yourself known is by doing a good job, accepting multiple shops.  They will begin to recognize you through the system as your history enhances.  This will build your reputation.  Calling and e-mailing is not necessary. 

Another way you can receive an assignment through us is by logging in to our system and checking for available shops in your area.  After you have logged in, you will see this box located to the right hand side of the screen:

You want to click on “Show me visits I can accept”.  This link will show you if there is anything available.

Finally, many companies allow you to view boards by city or state.  The key is to know the company’s system, so you work within it.  This will save you time.  Building a good base of companies takes time.  Do good work and you will build a good base of shopping companies for yourself.
