they used to blast their orders to several agents at a time, now they send it to one agent, and if they don't accept within a few minutes, they send it to another one.
I haven't seen anything from them in quite a while. I tend to miss a lot of the blast orders, since they are almost always sent out when I am not by the computer. I need to get one of those Fancy shmancy cell phones, because I heard they are very useful for this kind of business, but that won't happen until the next month, when my Verizon contract expires (I get almost no signal and my house, and I live in the middle of a city!).
When I signed up I started receiving orders almost immediately, I think it took two or three weeks. You can call and inquire about orders, that might help.
Thank you for the responses. It seems we're just a bit impatient. We'll keep you posted to what happens.
Kasia- We have Treos for our business and they work very well. Being able to surf the web and download email directly to your cell phone is a huge advantage!
If there are multiple agents signed up in your area... Clear Capital sends assignments to several agents at once, and the first to grab is the winner. Make sure your email updates quickly or you'll miss the assignments. For instance, if you use Outlook, you can set to send/receive emails every minute...
They usually have lots of assignments. Best of Luck!
Dee- CC have changed their solicitation policy. "Effective May 1, 2007, Clear Capital solicits vendors one at a time. If the first vendor does not respond in the first few minutes, an e-mail solicitation will be sent to a second vendor. If the first two vendors do not respond, then a third vendor is sent an e-mail solicitation, and so on."
Thank you ladies! I actually picked up my first assignment yesterday! :-D It's an interior BPO, so I am looking for the best sold comps in the area. I set my phone to download my email every 15 minutes. Gets quite addictive checking for emails. My sister is still waiting, but she'll get some too!

Paul Moye-That was my one and only assignment from them thus far! It can be a bit frustrating, but my sister and I have been signing up for a lot of companies lately. Thanks for the advice!
Chi-Wow! You're in a large city area and there are probably lots of agents already signed up there. Paul is right...sign up with several different companies. You'll start getting assignments soon, especially from the smaller companies. ;)

I like doing work for Clear Capital... They are always very nice to deal with and understanding if you have any problems...It seems bpo's from them come all at the same time....Good luck!!!
Clear Capital is the BEST!!! they just implemented a new program so you can get emails to your phone.
You do have to be always checking though. Even though they send to their first few agents, they get picked up fast. But their forms are one of the easiest and the people are very nice.
When I first started, I called them and asked. It took a couple of months to get going. Sign up for as many as you can. I am getting requests from others that I signed up over a year ago.
Landam is a good one for a lot to get you going. They broadcast also, so again, you need to be reading your email constantly.
They are about the ONLY BPO company that understands the geography of Southeast Alaska. I just love those calls about a "drive by" for a town not accessible by road!
Anyway, Clear Capital actually pays quickly so they are good...
It just depends on the area you are in, I signed up and in two days got three orders but now they stop coming---
