I can't see any, and I've got all of ABA-I's clients in my profile, and I've searched nationally usiing a wildcard. Maybe there was just the one job and you've taken it??

Ok - I'm confused . (am dashing around like a blue xxx fly, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious).

Had 2 seperate emails, one for dept store (listing about a dozen locations), the other for the 'school pencil' store listing locations. I know these clients are Abai as I've added them.

Just looked again at the email addresses and they are abaresearch.co.uk addresses - is this Bare or Abai? Are they the same?

I didn't go on-line myself as I can't do anything this weekend. Apologies if I've confused anyone else, along with myself

abaresearch.co.uk = aba-i

Hi. I'm with Abai, but I only have one client (for which I have never seen a job). Is it possible for me to get other clients, or am I restricted to just this one client? (It's the group of popular high street clothes stores.)

I applied for 4 jobs yesterday with ESA, and have been accepted for one, so that's a good start. Pleased as it is in the same shopping centre as another phone shop that I am visiting for GR so makes it more worthwhile.

I put something like like 'I have read the notes for this job and will be able to complete the visit on xxxxx.' Was wondering how often people get accepted, but thought there was no harm in applying. I'm hoping they might be like Bare, and once you've done a few for them you get offered more often.

Same here. I applied for 3 earlier in the week, and got accepted for one today. I just put that date I could do the visit. I guess it depends how many people apply for the jobs. Fairer that fastest finger first? I'm not sure.
Anyway, 4 shops tomorrow, comprising of 2 phones, a restaurant and catalogue shop. Most I've done in a day. June is looking a little better that I thought it would be. Never going to get rich though!:rolleyes:

Hi slig

Google site:aba-i.co.uk and then click on the links. You should get approx 8 more clients from that. If I remember correctly you have to click register, and then answer the questions, and then when you click complete it'll ask you whether you've already signed up with Abai. Say yes and it should add the client to your list.

Hope this works for you, but I am going by memory.

Hi everyone hope you are all having a good day!

Have a small query, i have just done a shop with Bare, but i had called them this morning to say i think the actual shop has closed down now, but will go and take a photo as proof, which was fine, and i was correct it was.

Thing is i have never came across this before with them and have uploaded the photos with a few comments about it on the comments box but i can't submit as there are loads of answers missing. obviously ones i cant answer as it relates to the actual visit, i have just called them and they are now closed, i have sent an email to the person who allocates the visits, but not sure what to do now, as i know it says you have to submit the report within 24 hours..

(P.s Not getting the whole fee for it but 50% which isn't bad. :rolleyes:)

Can I ask, I have only done a couple of shops for BARE and although I apply for them, instead of just assigning them to me they phone me, leave a message telling me I have to call them back to have the job assigned. Is this normal as it is very frustrating! TBH I prefer the 'fingers first' methods of GfK, RE and TNS.

Hi Lisa,

I have found sometimes they send you an email to say that you have been allocated a job, then other times they leave a meassage to say it has been allocated and to put a date in asap??

So it varies for me also. :rolleyes:
