QUOTE Yup, nice little earner , hoping to get some more myself although away next weekend.

You will get wound up by crap salesmen though & wired on all the coffee end quote

I did my first batch of garages yesterday . I totally agree about the salespeople ..... arrrrgggghhhh some of them are such hard hard work , at a few places I went yesterday I really did earn my money and left the dealership feeling shattered ! All my reports have been checked and Ive got 9's which I was pleased about , just got to hear back about the garage that I shopped different to the spec ... ( cluster was all diesels and spec was a petrol so shopped the equivalent disel ...) and one showroom was closed now as the company went bust 4 weeks ago , hope I dont get penalised for these.... hmmm ...

for the quote just highlight the text and click on quote bottom right of post and it comes up in the reply box

I think you should still get paid for the closed one as its not your fault hopefully that will be 'easier money - bonus'

I'm sure it says in the brief that there could be typo errors so shop the nearest equivalent

I'm sure someone more experienced will come along soon and put your mind totally at rest

I will look forward to this challenge then, just love salesman that are full of themselves (and coffee). Still can't say no to the money. Thank you to all who responded to my query. Maybe next year we will all be millionairres..................:rotfl::j

Just remember to give an incorrect phone number, otherwise they'll keep pestering you for weeks afterwards...

My car jobs are marked as 'received' - they've been marked, but no payment as yet... Where does it say payment pending?

Thanks for reply - I have also have 'received' in the first column headed 'Status job ID' for all shops but in the 'Fees' column the circuit shops have the circuit name and the fact you have to complete the circuit to get the fee. But the phone call job the first line says 'Payment pending' in bold type. I have only just noticed it so don't think it has been there all the time.

Looks like we'll just have to wait and see what happens...:rolleyes:

Do you think they might wait until this wave is completed?

Thanks to some advice a few weeks ago im now all set up as a TNS MS! Woohoo!
Just a quick question about mileage.... I live about a mile from the city centre and as all the jobs seems to be located there should I claim my 40p each way? And if so do you have to prove you've actually driven it? Would it have any tax benefits to claim it?

Thanks in advance!

ALWAYS claim the maximum expenses from TNS- they've never stopped me yet!

It's a possibility, but as this was my first job for BARE I've no idea when they pay...
