The trains ones are so boring to fill in when you are ping it over 3 companies. I just take on 3 for the same company now so most of the answers are the same as I copy and paste them across.

Copy and paste is the quickest way to a sackiing.

I know what you mean. I did a furnishings store for then and forgot to say what I had drank in the coffee shop. It raised a query which asked what did you have to drink in the cafe. Why don't you just look at the receipt I uploaded which just says large tea instead of having to wait hours for me to answer which would mean the report could be coed faster. I know it was my fault but come on.

They may not have access to said receipt.

just reading retail active electrical.. they want a lot for the money

Yup, that's why I'll only do one when I want something from the store. Otherwise it's just way too much work.

Have React ever offered the Swedish clothes shop to men?

No, I even offered to have the Mrs do the visit with me observing like we can do with Terns underwear visits.

I was just wondering how many jobs other MS's on here take on in a day and comfortably complete...I'm still getting to grips with this, so any advice would be appreciated.

My record is 18 RM supermarkets one Sunday, I was going to do them over two days but got on a roll, they weren't that far apart either so I was able to do the reports on the go too, It's never the visits that are the issue but the reports afterwards.

Indeed, and non-payment, you can always make something sound different while saying the same thing.

Yeah, I find they want a lot for their money with most jobs :cool:

I did 10 on Wednesday, spread over 4 different MS companies, and completed them all pretty comfortably. Five were actually on the same high street, so very little travelling for them but the last 2 were a 15 mile drive away. Didn't get back home till late so was inputting reports for most of the night :cool:

Shame about the TNS client going. Not interested in cars so doubt I'll be doing much for them in future.

Yeah, it is, I enjoyed those shops. I've done a few of their car shops and they do pay very well but I've noticed they've started asking for more and more in their latest shops.

Those jobs are all inclusive aren't they?

Thanks, yeah I've sorted it out now. I've just moved house and with everything else going on- I must've been a bit optimistic when recording the details in my spreadsheet! I dug out my notes and clarified eventually.

Which are the small blue supermarkets- if they're the ones I think....could you direct me to the newsletter or give me the name of the company to check. Thanks

plenty of companies have briefs that say you must keep paperwork for 30/60/90 days for exactly this reason and by acceptting jobs we accept they may ask queries up to that time. not an issue so much if youve been paid more if you havent.

More than likely it will be a query from the site itself or the clients head office, it happens, not often mind.

I've only had a couple of queries a few weeks down the line with ABAi petrol but they were both for pretty memorable events thankfully! Both resolved without any drama, one of the better MSC wish they had more clients.

Hi Everyone!

First post on this forum.

I am trying to register for ABAi but am unable to do so as I keep getting the message

"The page could not be validated successfully. This is due to javaScript being disabled on your browser."

However, javaScript is DEFINITELY enabled on my browser.

Does anybody have a solution to this or a contact number or Email for ABAi so I can resolve the problem with them.

Thanks!

I can see the same message on their site on firefox, have you tried using a different browser?

If that doesn't work you could try emailing ABAi@abaresearch.co.uk

They don't have much work at the moment though.
