just a heads up : TNS just sent message saying their mercury (non sassie) allocation site is down and they are working on a resolution asasp

Makes a change, their SASSIE system was playing up this weekend cancelling jobs because they didn't have a shop date assigned when could only be done on one date.

Anybody done the new phone wave for GFK, brand enquiry?? I felt sorry for the company, no body want to sell their phones.

Anyone MSPA certified? Do you think it's worth it? Did you do it through the MSPA Europe website? Answers on a postcard...

My family might say I should be certified! But I haven't got the MSPA certification. I do this full time and have never been asked if I have it. So I don't think it is worth it or necessary.

Hi

I have signed up with GAPbuster, completed the orientation successfully, but I cannot access the JobSearch.

It tells me to allow time for account verification, up to 1 working day, but it has been longer than this (only a bit).

Should I leave it longer or should I contact them - only worry is that they seem to not want to be bothered and may just cut my account.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

I did it, totally pointless keep your tenner and buy a bottle of wine!

My TNS Sassie food store has appeared back in my job log so looks like anyone who "lost" a job is getting it back.

Wulfrun, I'd leave it a couple of days before chasing them up.:)

I've not done them, but I feel sorry for the company that TNS work with. Of all the numerous visits I have done for them, only one mos said that branded phone was any good. Everyone else said it was !!!!!. I just don't get why they put so much money into it, obviously good for us as it gives a lot of visits, but it just does not make any sense to me at all. They've done 4 plus waves now, I thought they would get the hint after the first one and then just make a posher hotter sassier phone.

Has everyone updated their census on GFK? I've started seeing phone calls and emails to companies I have never ever seen before with GFK.

There was only one model of that type of phone in the shops I did. It's competitors all have like 6 or 7 different models.

Shame, because I love that brand. Reminds me of watching 'CHiPs' when I was a kid.
