Palm Scheduling

Hi All,
Just received a message from Cheryl Durbin at Palm Scheduling Services
wanting me to sign up with them. They are not on the company list.
Anyone know about them? Thanks

Palm Scheduling is not a mystery shopping company, it is an independant scheduling service. They schedule some shops on behalf of mystery shopping companies. Cheryl Durbin is the owner.
I have gotten jobs through her for several years. Right now she seems to have only one msc in my area but they do have jobs I like. Like other scheduling services once you ask for a shop and get assigned you then deal with the msc that she scheduled for. Reports go to the msc.
I don't work for PSS at all. The old-timers in the industry have their reasons. No thanks.
In my experience, Cheryl is fine to work with. That is, if you don't mind the big, bold, colorful font explosions decorating your email of shop instructions.

The harder I work, the luckier I get.
In my market some of my favorite shops can only be through PSS as she schedules for my favorite msc so I cannot go to them directly for jobs. All I get is a regular email with no pictures or colors at all listing the shops and once I am accepted for the one(s) I want I get a short email telling me I have the shop and thereafter I deal directly with the msc. I think she had some of her own shops she handled directly several years ago but I have not seen that for a long time here where I live.
I received such invitation and in checking, I found out I was already signed up but there was no shop in my area or vicinity.
I'm confused as to why schedulers are needed for the MSCs? Doesn't this add more unnecessary levels to the IC and MSC relationship? I'd rather just be paid a little more and deal with the MSCs directly
Some of the MSCs seem to feel that their scheduling requirements are not enough to justify hiring a full-time in-house scheduler. Others do have in-house schedulers and use external schedulers for particular projects or for overflow scheduling when it is unusually busy.

Thanks for clearing that up
