and I like IPSOS. I want to perform more shops for IPSOS. I did surveys for IPSOS prior to becoming an actual shopper 5+ years ago. IMO their shops are not difficult, the schedulers very helpful, and they pay promptly. The questions I have which I cannot seem to get answered are as follows:
Where on-line are the instructions for the tests required for certain shops ? On my portal, all I see is a box to take the test. No instructions. I cant pass test w/out the instructions, and cannot apply for shops. I have one test hanging in limbo which shows 33% completed but the system will not let me complete this test, and so it sits there and I can't apply for shops.
What's the difference between the shopmetrics and sassie log-in ? Are both for IPSOS or is one for GFK. I have never ever performed a shop for GFK but my sassie login shows multiple citations. The shopmetrics doesn't show multiple citations.
Why do I get email blasts for shops which I would normally qualify for, but they do not show up on my portal. Sometimes I will use only zip code w/radius, other times just my state. Shops appear on one search but not the other. This makes no sense to me at all. Someone suggested checking out both the shopmetrics and sassie for shops.
Is there a reason why the platforms cannot be merged, and the instructions for the required tests be available ?
