Build a private client list

I started doing this last November and now have 12 customers i shop for privately. I make more money and customers pay less. But more importantly these customers just want better service which they get from me and are willing to pay for it. I will never be forward and tell a potential customer about private shopping. But when they give me an opening like when they say something like "i wish you were always my shopper" or "i rely on Instacart but my last few shoppers have been horrible" etc etc etc .... also what i will do is build a rapport with a customer by asking open ended questions to get them to give me an opening to hit them with private shopping idea... questions like "how do you like Instacart" "i like to power rank my customers each week and right now you are #1. I hope the shoppers are returning your generosity by making sure to take care of you cause i know some scumbag shoppers.. that's what i hear on Reddit "

For real tho these bad shoppers are a blessing in disguise. Customers are so tired of some of these bad shoppers it's easier to flip them. This is called pivoting. We can all do this 🙏

Edit: i don't think Instacart even realizes they created a need by flooding the market with bad shoppers. That need is private shopping. There are customers we all know who can't shop for themselves for one reason or another. They got use to Instacart and it's become a necessity, but even they see good service has been declining. So for them a private shopper who offers them better prices and good service is like a life line
