    Find an Ontario-based debt collection company?

    really not worth the hassle/cost, when I can legitimately use it as a tax write off.

    I'm impressed that you do so many of these visits, I find the reports suck the life out of me.

    That said, I picked up a very late, "Must be done today" visit yesterday, for a very nice premium and noticed the SASSIE report format had changed somewhat.

    I agreed a deal with them to cover x amount of stores for x amount of money over x amount of weeks, so I kind of had no option but to do them :D If I had realised how soul destroying it would be, I would have asked for double the amount i did !

    thankfully they have now finally finished, it will be a long time till i step foot inside a phone shop be it for business or pleasure.

    I have (yet another!) question, this time regarding the petrol jobs that came up recently. I can't find anything in the brief to say we must go alone, does this mean I can leave OH in the car, or do I still need to dump him out on the street for 10 mins?

    Is it an abai job or a gap job?

    If it's gap they will fire you for having someone with you on a visit. If it's abai they want the visit to look as natural as possible and don't mind if you have someone with you, as long as you can concentrate 100% i.e. no screaming kids.

    That's a pretty good way of doing it. I just picked up jobs as and when. Think I could have doubled my fee for the last minute job yesterday but hey ho, I'm still learning :)

    You can do the GAP petrol with someone in the car, there is nothing in the briefing notes that state you must be alone and you don't need to state that you were when entering the results. It's the burger jobs where you must be alone.

    From what I remember, the GAP training stuff says you must be alone on the petrol visits.

    What's the record for how long anyone's stood by a girl tv channel stand waiting for a customer to go away? 10 min and counting. At least the wifis good.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I thought this was the case. So I've just checked their website and on page 3, line 6, of their key requirements it says:

    6. Do not have passengers with you in the car

    Argh, oops. Thanks for the responses it is gap and i'm just back from doing it. I did leave the OH in the car. I thought the brief should have re-stated this then, bah.

    so annoying when you have walked past a store to get home and someone has dropped it with only 2 days left on the 7 days window.!
