Become a Mystery Shopper - Mystery
Shopping Business
If a company’s goods and services are to be
measured for it to remain competitive, one
way is to hire a mystery shopping company
directly or request a marketing research
firm to conduct the research for them. These
marketing research firms in turn hire
mystery shoppers and assign them a specific
task.
Marketing research firms who have the
experience and expertise in mystery shopping
already have established procedures,
parameters and the necessary tools and
software programs to perform a mystery
shopping task from A to Z. They have a data
base of available individuals who serve as
mystery shoppers and who can report on their
shopping experiences.
Sometimes, companies will do their own
research especially if they want to gauge
employee performance in customer service or
measure their products’ success. They will
ask a Ms. Jane Doe to “shop” in their store
so that management can observe how employees
do on such indicators as courtesy, attention
to basic customer service rules, knowledge
of goods and services and professionalism.
Companies need to do this periodically to
have an edge over competitors.
Mystery shoppers are paid either on a
project or hourly basis. If you want to be a
mystery shopper, do extensive research on
internet for mystery shopping companies.
Compare each mystery shopping company to the
next; some of these mystery shopping
programs are free to join.
You know what they say about shopping as a
stress-reliever. Well, mystery shopping is a
lot more fun because you’re going on a
“secret and sensitive mission” where people
would love to hear about your experience.
