???? Intelli…paying exactly $21.43… - Yesterday

…for a shop with enough pre-qualifications many…won’t. I’d love to share a good top-shelf cocktail with whoever comes up with these numbers to learn that strategy…as long as they’re paying. Lets make this fun: Many here have encountered similar oddities. Anyone else have particulars they’d love to know from those who … know?

Ipsos…posting assignments with no pay or reimbursement? - Yesterday

I logged in this morning hoping to pair up an easy B&N Q&A with one of their previously discussed feces fiestas to balance out the brain drain and pay for gas … and…apparently they want us to do them for free and donate our overhead and time. Fee and reimbursement spaces completely empty. No tyvm.

Re: Ipsos Shopmetrics - 2 days ago

Yes, and it’s incredibly frustrating completing their surveys. I’ve even tried mentioning it in the comments area. Advocate as far up as you need to. These are longstanding issues with Ipsos and Shopmetrics no amount of lateral feedback seems to change. Many wish the admins and managers at Ipsos and Shopmetrics had to do these, so they’d understand what the field reps and editors have to deal

Re: Ipsos Shopmetrics - 2 days ago

Yes, I’ve been in your shoes, and it’s incredibly frustrating completing thier surveys. I’ve even included the frustrations in the comments area. Do protest as far up as you need to. These are longstanding issues with Ipsos Shopmetrics no amount of feedback seems to change. The editors are equally frustrated because it doubles/triples their workload too. I’ve had similar issues with Other M

Re: cirrus - 4 days ago

The “dynamic duo”… known for what they dooo.., I’m pretty sure DD is bipolar. I had to threaten to file small claims and add a harassment charge against her after the truly uncalled for behavior, when I pursued payment. So sorry you’re involved with them. They were booted from the MSPA for the same. Maybe they can help.

Re: What the heck Reality Based Group - 5 days ago

The oil change shops often require 2 changes at different locations in one day. Some have specific oil type requirements that don’t work for all vehicles. Thats hundreds of dollars … a lot of “reimbursement” out of pocket $ to wait for, for a shop that doesn’t pay a lot.

Re: Ipsos editor hack - 5 days ago

The editors… I’ve always had a 10/10 rating. A single (new) editor seems to love me enough to downgrade me to a 4 and 7 of 10 for shops I’ve done at 10/10 multiple times. I protested citing my consistent quality. Answer: it doesn’t effect your pay.

Re: Loan Inquiries Shops...Are They a Headache? - 8 days ago

Glad to hear a happy shopper story. Maybe it depends on the assigner. I did 2. It was not as represented in advance and took 4x longer than advertised. It would take a hefty bonus and a bottle of Excedrin to consider doing another.

Re: Sentry Marketing payment - 8 days ago

Is there a contact there you can reach out to? Sometimes exploring the main website can offer insight, and don’t be shy about reaching higher in the food chain. Reputations matter a lot in marketing. I hope you get this resolved. No one should have to wait months or chase down funds they rightfully earned.

Re: Very odd Ipsos notifications… - 10 days ago

TBH, I’m surprised by the increase in job notifications sent that don’t work with the tech involved. Got another today that included a link to a Google file without permission to open it. Another one contained a link to a YouTube post I couldn’t access because YouTube now requires us to download an invasive app, provide personal info, and pay a monthly subscription to access. I’ve had a pr

Re: What are you having for dinner? AGAIN! - 10 days ago

There’s a stomach flu making the rounds. Had guests from out of town over the weekend, who became ill after arriving, thinking it was food poisoning from what they ate before they arrived. We’ve got it, so it wasn’t food poisoning. It is miserable, but will pass in 2-3 days. Papaya enzyme and others are great if you can stomach them. Hope you feel better soon.

Very odd Ipsos and other notifications… - 10 days ago

I’ve received several notifications about shops from a Ipsos scheduler RT from “notifications@ipsos” that are nothing more than gibberish. The subject is normal, and I’d love to know more about the assignment, but the body of the email looks like it’s in Greek or another Cyrillic alphabet. Tried reading it on 2 completely different devices and operating systems. It happens with all the e
