LACK OF RESPONSES FROM SIGNING SERVICES

I AM NEW TO THE BUSINESS. WHY DO MOST SIGNING SERVICES NOT RESPOND TO THEIR APPLICANTS? I HAVE SUBMITTED THE USUAL REQUIRED DOCUMENT COPIES, MOSTLY BY FAX. THOUGH THEY OFTEN PROMISE TO COMMUNICATE WITHIN "SEVERAL DAYS", NOTHING. WE ARE TO BE PROFESSIONAL, THEY SHOULD BE ALSO.

Because they're overwhelmed with piles of applications. You should call them and follow up. This way they'll remember you. I usually get a call for a signing after following up on an application.

How long have you been applying to different SS's? Nothing happens overnight. Also, as has been pointed out, it takes repetition. You have to keep your name in front of them. You can't signup and stop at that. Even one call or contact after signing up probably won't bring you instant gratification or opportunity as you put it.

Where are you located? Is your area saturated with SA's? All of it has to be included in the BIG picture.

It would be very nice if you didn't type in all caps.

Exactly what kind of response are you expecting from the signing service? Are you just looking for acknowlegement that they received the documents, or are you expecting them to start calling you with jobs right away?

Most of the signing services I've signed up with haven't called me just to acknowledge receiving my signup package.
