Need to expand my horizons and dreading it.... (mild whine post...cheese optional)

I'm currently signed up with about 25 MSC's. Unfortunately, most of my work comes from about half a dozen of them and I'm now running into rotation exclusions. I knew this was going to happen, so I have a list of 31 more MSC's that do business within 50 miles of my home. I need to begin registering with them (and should have started weeks ago) - but I am totally dreading the process.

Most Sassie companies ask for the same info over and over and over..... Am I missing something or is there an easier way to register for companies on the same system without all the repetition? I had hoped that Jobslinger would offer such an option, but that hope was dashed.

For now I'm just going to sign up for 2-3 each day, and be satisfied that I won't have to sign up again.

I used to see a life coach pretty regularly.... back when they were called bartenders.

This is a n investment that will bear good returns on your time. Save a sample narrative in a word processing program and on any day that you do not have shops, up your game and sign up with 5 new MSCs

Also, many MSCs may have shops in your area that you have not yet detected. I have been shopping for over 10 years and am stll surprised when an MSC that has never had anything near me of interest suddenly pops up with some lucrative opportunities. So, once you have gotten through that lsit of 31, you may well want to invest in several more sign-ups every day that you do not have a shop. After all, if you have no shops that day, you have nothing to lose (and everything to gain) by spending 20 minutes signing up with 3-5 MSCs.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

Thanks @walesmaven. You are absolutely right, and I do realize I'm being a big ol' whiner about entering in the same info multiple times. I do have several different writing samples saved in word, so I can usually comply with the MSC's request for best/worst experience, why are you a good shopper, etc.

I brought it up today because I have nothing scheduled and I know I need to get moving on registering. So I'm going to go put on my big girl panties and start signing up for MSC's.

Yeah, you don't have to do it all at once. Like Wales stated, you can just do a few applications day and it won't seem so overwhelming.

Make yourself do one, right before you are going to do something you want to do. Just one.

Want to sit down and watch a movie, sign up with an MSC.
Want to go out and get something for dinner, sign up with an MSC.
Want to have some ice cream, sign up with an MSC.

Just do one at a time, and you will be surprised how fast you will be signed up with 100 or more.

Wales is sooooo right. It is amazing when a long ago signed up client has something in my inbox involving a well paid shop that yields cash and perhaps some great merchandise. My favorite example is a company that I have done one shop for total. Maybe was registered with them for 6 years before I got an email, did the shop for $150.00 and was paid in two days. Other opportunities from other companies have appeared out of the blue too...that one was just the best example.
