If you are a new shopper, you may hear or read mystery shopping terms or “lingo” that you do not understand. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a short alphabetized glossary of terms used at IntelliShop that you may not be familiar with. It can be found here (along with tons of other great information).

You may have noticed a "GeoVerify" section near the top of your recent reports. This is a new feature available through JobSlinger's smartphone app that allows you to use your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android's internal GPS to mark your spot so we can confirm you were at the correct location.

I must confess that I wasn’t too pleased with this at first. A mystery shopper? Why?
But the more I thought about her choice, the more...
