SASSIE stands for Scheduler And Shopper Survey Internet Engine. Okay, so it’s not the easiest thing to roll off the tongue. Nobody refers to it that way, though. It’s Sassie. Sassie is quickly becoming the software of choice for many mystery shopping companies. It’s very easy for the end user (us!) to use, and automatically keeps records of your shops. Many companies have gone to self-assign on the Sassie boards. That means they simply post a shop there and it’s first come-first serve. Others require that you express interest and a scheduler gets back to you.
I like Sassie because it’s uniform. Though companies can customize it, most leave it pretty much as-is. The uniformity stretches to the sign-up as well. This is a very good thing! You can sign up with most companies that are using Sassie in as little as ten minutes. A few require written samples. Remember to keep this in Word so that you can use the same one over and over again. Even though they’re using the same software, the companies are competitors and are not sharing information. That means you’ll need to sign up with each of them individually. Once you do, make yourself a list (or just bookmark this page and come back here; they’re all linked) and check each of them daily for jobs.
