Is EPMS usually this slow around this time? I was on a roll with them up until two weeks ago. I was unable to pick-up many shops because I spent 2 weeks attempting to reach 3 out of my 4 targets and never reached them. By the time I found out that they no longer worked there, there weren't any more shops. I'd really like to complete at least 5 by the 7th so that I can make this month's payment deadline.

They do seem to be slow so far this month. One problem I have encountered is that they often limit the number of shops you can do for a certain company. I'm sure this has to do with computerized guest cards. One company here seems to have bought up half the apartments in this city (or so it seems) and I was told that I have done my limit for that company, and can't do any more for them at this time. This company doesn't show up in available shops for me anymore, even though I know the schedulers have shops for them. There are also companies that limit you to one shop per month. That makes for very slim pickings here.

And as far as I'm concerned, that's too bad because EPMS is my favorite MSC.

I was told once that it doesn't have to do with computerized guest cards because they'll let you know if the target can see which other properties you have visited. I think that certain companies limit the number of shops you can do so that they don't have the same person rating different properties, which makes sense. I've often encountered certain companies who'll have 5 shops available and once I assign one, the other four will disappear, but the same four will appear again during the next round.
