 Please find our webpage and additional information online at: www.summitoutsourcingllc.com. If you have any question(s). Email me to have them answered!

---I answered it with something like, "What are you referring too?", during a moment of weakness and not remembering the "application" and within a day they sent me this.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,Once again, congratulations on making the team. It’s my hope that our partnership will bring a better shopping experience to your local area. I have been assigned to you, as your survey coordinator. Our first survey assignment has been authorized and scheduled. Your survey packet will be delivered early coming week.

We offer competitive wage for completed surveys and also include bonuses for surveys completed, within the first 48 hours of packet delivery. For example, if your survey parcel is delivered today Wednesday the 24th of July. Surveys completed by the 26th will attract a bonus of $100 - $200 depending on the store or business visited/surveyed.

Our fixed price per survey is $150 (One hundred, fifty dollars only). An assignment may include 2 or even 3 surveys at a time. Your fixed rate is multiplied by the number of surveys done per assignment. For example if you were to visit a Sears and Wal-Mart as part of an assignment. You get $150 for Sears and $150 for Wal-Mart to equal $300 for your assignment.

When you visit a store for a survey, a few things are important to note about the business being visited:

1. The address of the particular store visited.

2. What was your reception like at the entrance of the store?

3. Your time of arrival.

4. Name of teller/cashier or anyone that has or volunteered to attend to you.

5. How long did your transaction take?

6. How would you rate the customer service experience? (On a scale of 1-10)

7. Sanitation Level. (Aisles, Floor, Shelves, Toilets)

8. How tedious was checkout?

9. How friendly is the staff, do you feel they know/enjoy their job.

10. Would you return to or recommend this store to a friend?

A survey questionnaire is used to report our surveys. You will receive one either with your survey packet or sent to you via email. You will need a printer, scanner or fax machine. If you do not have these though, you can write out the answers to the questions on the survey sheet in an email to me. I'll transfer them unto a survey sheet on your behalf.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU TAKE YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE TO THE STORE OR FILL IN STORE, THIS MIGHT ALERT STAFF AND RESULT IN A BIASED SURVEY. YOUR SURVEY SHOULD BE FILLED OUT IN THE CAR OR AT HOME.
