Those annoying text blasts waste My time (what busy individual can justify the typical $70-$90 offer?). I actually accepted one while on the road recently (last minute but I was available), thinking it was a company I had worked for. Ended up turning it back, which took an email, a phone call and more TIME than necessary.
My incorrect assumptions: (1) I could negotiate posted fee when accepting assignment; (2) my credentials were already on file.
No way was I risking payment stalls we read about on here due to "not having this" or "we need this before we can send your check," that is, after you've done the job for us and everyone else got compensated! I do respect companies that gather criteria in advance (yes, BancServ, I need a BGC, photo ID... sigh). |
