In this SASSIE NEWS:
I) Report Revue coming next week!
II) Recruiterator in JobSlinger Plus updated (and still FREE!) – Get more shoppers!
III) Second batch of Summit Bon Bons coming up
Welcome to the third of 5 emails detailing new SASSIE releases before the MSPA Vegas conference!
I) Report Revue coming next week.
Getting your clients hooked on your reports is a major factor in client retention – “Report Revue” can be your “HOOK”.
SASSIE’s got plenty of standard reports for your clients … for some clients, TOO plenty! With so many choices, it can be difficult for your clients to determine which reports they care about the most.
To make things tougher, there maybe hundreds or thousands of managers working for your client who might want to learn more about these reports.
Coming in the next few weeks is “REPORT REVUE”, a handy “jukebox” of very short videos that briefly describe the strengths of each report. Your client can quickly skip around and view only the videos for the reports they’re interested in or they can breeze through the entire suite of reports in just a few minutes.
Here’s where to get to the Report Revue (from your client’s reports page):

II) Recruiterator in JobSlinger Plus updated (and still FREE) – Get more shoppers!
We’ve made an update to RECRUITERATOR, the JobSlinger Plus feature that lists your company as a company seeking new mystery shoppers … and includes links to sign up almost instantly (using information stored in their JobSlinger Plus shopper profile).
Recruiterator NOW highlights which companies a shopper hasn’t signed up for, making this an ideal time for your company to join the 25+ companies already listed on Recruiterator. JobSlinger Plus shoppers tend to be more experienced and committed than the average shopper, so Recruiterator is a pain-free way to add quality shoppers to your database.

Recruiterator is a free, but exclusive free service for companies on the SASSIE/ATHENA platform.
III) Summit Bon Bons II coming up
Here are the next 3 bon bons (voted into existence by YOU at the SASSIE SUMMIT). We JUST missed releasing these by publication time, but you’ll see them any day now!
1. EMAIL MANAGER PASSWORDS – Now with Company Name
People and password are like oil and water – it’s hard to keep them together. Our Email Manager Passwords feature has been handy in those situations but … what if your client doesn’t know if their company is entered as “Widgets”, “Widgets Inc.”, or “Widgets Incorporated”?
This bon bon now:
* Adds the Company Name to the “Email Manager Passwords” function
* Previews the email before you actually send it out to potentially hundreds or thousands (!!!) of client managers
* Gives the option to send either the CLIENT or ADMIN login info to a “Client Master” account.2. SPELL CHECK on SHORT TEXT QUESTIONS
Our “Spell Check All” feature is handy for checking all of the Narratives on a shop … but shoppers are capable of misspelling short text answers, too!
On the other hand, short text answers to questions like “Name” tend to trip up spell checkers with annoying frequency.
Here’s our solution: We’ve added a “Include text answers” checkbox to the “Spell Check All” button for shoppers and reviewers so you can choose your own balance between “Completeness” and “Annoyance-Avoidance”!
3. SHOPPER WITH SHOPS IS DEACTIVATED
When a shopper with a pending shop deactivates themselves (or gets deactivated, it’s a dangerous. This feature sends an email alert to the scheduler who created that autoscheduling session (yes, autoscheduled shops only) that a train wreck might be on its way!
Coming Up In SASSIE New Releases #4: What is the “Rule-Zillerator” … and how will it change the way my shops get filled out?
