Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

It's probably because there are many versions of Android compared to Apple, along with the different types of handsets to test on, so to develop an app that caters for all versions and handsets is expensive.

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

Looks like a lot of the Building Premises tasks have been snapped up - someone must have come in over the weekend and completed them ;). I was hoping to do a few more at lunchtime today. Oh well. I'm sure there will be others.

I guess that makes sense: agents forced to do it during the week. I'll check the app later.

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

Did a couple of office building surveys just now. Not as many as yesterday.

It's amazing how difficult some buildings are hard to find as some are not numbered. Some tasks require the company that is located on part of a floor in a building and the reception staff don't know how that relates to the FA task so I gave up due to being on my lunch hour.

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

I just received an email from Field Agent about a land usage survey I did last week which I think is worth sharing.

It was informing me that the task was not accepted because even though it had a high fence and I could not see the whole plot I should have taken a picture so they could see. I quote "we need to have some pic even if it is of the fence showing you couldn't gain access".

I might try again tomorrow as I work from home Wednesdays ;)

yeah that's fair enough - when you do store checks if it is closed you typically take a photo of the closed store from the outside. they just want 'something' to work with I think

I've just seen a couple of Now TV mystery shops come up very close to me. Looking forward to interrogating some unsuspecting staff.

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

I've got a bit of an issue with FA at the moment because they are telling me their client won't pay for some factory jobs I did. The place in question was a secure environment where you could not get past reception and I was denied the information from the MOS that came down to speak to me. In fact I was sent away with a flea in my ear after being interrogated by her about who sent me etc.
I took relevant photos and filled in responses, one of which included FA's own option of 'information refused' and gave the name of the staff member.
So how come they were refused because valuable data was not gathered?

I have queried it with FA, but they're not replying.
I'm not a newbie and am on their <blah blah removed by Jon>

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

I'd be interested to see the outcome of this.

I've had 2 refused now but I think FA's reasons were justified.

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

I too have had two refused. One I'm pretty certain I cocked up - the other I thought I had done correctly and got all the information possible. I'm not moaning though - I think it's a great site and the communication with them so far has been first class. A benchmark for others I think !

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

just a note about the building checks,

I've done a few of them now and had no problems, I quickly decided that "information refused" was not going to be an option that field agent liked.

I also quickly decided, that as long as there are secretaries and security staff that might possibly give a fake name to market research and lead generating agents (perhaps such as us going round doing the field agent checks), really there is no reason to have an "information refused" task, because on every single task that is not a vacant property, there is always the chance that "Terry" or "Jean" who gave you all the relevant business information also happened to give you a fake name, such as so they would not get in trouble from their boss when someone starts ringing saying "Jean" gave them the information.

The photo taken outside, the correct phone number, the correct business name, and "I spoke to jean", is a 5er.

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

I've done quite a few and have not given the name of the individual when doing a task. I've simply put that I spoke to a member of staff or the receptionist. I think FA are more concerned if the information collected is of use to them.

Fair enough the name may or may not be important, imo it helps support that you gathered the information "on location" as it where.

All i'm saying, is I've had none refused yet from FA, and even if someone refuses to talk to me on location, I still gather the information and never put "Refused information".

As far as I can tell, as long as you are thorough, all the information you gather should be of use to them. I may be wrong as up till now none of mine have been refused, but I have done all kinds ranging from empty sites to office blocks with multiple businesses. I write down each individual business and the name/number of the property management company, name/number of head office when relevant etc etc. I've been refused information more than once by the person on location, but still filled in as though I had not been refused, as all the necessary information was available with or without the cooperation of the person on location.

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

To clarify, this one huge building housed all of the companies I needed information on, but I didn't have the names of some of the companies. I had to find out who occupied floor area **/** and who occupied floor area **/** etc. I can't think of any way I could get that information other than speaking to the staff member that came to talk to me at reception - and she refused to tell me.

When I had a similar task, with a similar situation, I found the floor directory in reception with all the offices and corresponding business names, and simply took a photo of that, went outside, and individually found the relevant phone numbers for each of the businesses.

If there was no means of finding a listing or directory such as that, then I would not know what to do either. That would be a shame, luckily for me a situation such as yours, where I could not do the above, has not arisen for me yet.
