When I first started a few years back, I didn't know about this forum or how to do a lot of things to make my business life easier. Making a list of MSCs was one of those things that I didn't think of doing until later. I'm still coming across MSCs that I signed up for way-back-when that I don't remember. In many cases, it's like doing double the work because I have to check each and every MSC as though it's a new one to sign up with. Ugh. This has been my new year's resolution to get this list cleaned up and current.
You'll see lots of references to making a list of your MSCs all throughout this forum. Most of us keep our list in a spreadsheet. I have columns for the last time I did a thorough check-through on their boards and my shopper profile, my user id and passwords, whether any jobs were available in my area, and other similiar information.
I thought I had signed up with scads of MSCs when I first started out, but I'm still finding companies I haven't heard of or applied with yet.
