David - I was going to ask about the MSPA certification codes and you mentioned that MSC's software/websites won't recognize the codes. So, I have taken two classes from MSPA (Intro to Mystery Shopping & Professional Report Writing), and I put the Certification Number (codes) on my iSS profile. I was thinking...how does anyone know what these codes are? They just look like some random numbers that I added. :-) So does this actually mean anything on my iSS profiles? I only use iSS and Market Force.

Thanks!

I love getting badges! I think it's a nice little perk to see them increase and earn new badges. It really makes me want to do a shop that I may not otherwise do. The problem is, the MSPs don't always link the badges to their shops. I wish iSS did the linking (hint hint ha ha). I do think there currently is a nice selection of badges.

Ivan,

The first time I asked about linking I was told to talk to iSS! So I reached out another two times (to the MSP) and I'm hoping the last person I spoke with actually tries to do something. I will keep trying!

Welcome Stephanie,

One way of getting more bang for your buck is to plan a route. Then try to do as many shops along that route as possible. I throw everything into my GPS (or you can print from online maps) and then just drive from one shop to the next.

Good luck!

Hi Terri & welcome!

Read everything as soon as you accept the assignment. This way, if there are any questions, you are giving the Scheduler a day to get back to you.

Welcome Melissa - this is a great place to post any questions that you may have. Everyone is really pretty helpful! Good luck on your shops.

Hi Sheila - yes, your thread did post, so you did it correctly. :-)

My back hurts just thinking about driving that much in one day. Ha Ha. But seriously...wow - that's a lot of shops in one day! Did you make #1 on the Leader Board?

Hi Brent: What badge are you referring to? iSS is really good about making sure the correct points/badges are awarded. You could always email the Help Desk.
