Hello Everyone,

As of late, I have gotten some really neat, and high paying mystery shops from a certain company, that I cannot name…it’s a Mystery…LOL

I’ve been with them for a few years now…

However, I can refer you over there, as they enjoy receiving personal referrals from their already experienced shoppers who work with them.

If you’d like me to refer you, please just leave a comment with your email (which I will never post for others to see), and let me know that you’d be interested in giving them a try.

Then, I will personally refer you to this great mystery shopping company, and you’ll receive an email from me with the information you’ll need.

I look forward to hearing from you, and hope that you’ll try them out. They have shops all over Canada and the United States, among other countries.

Talk to you soon…

* I will not disclose the mystery shopping company, nor the name of the store I shopped for mystery shopping company agreement purposes.

There was a time that I was doing mystery shopping assignments, and one happened to come up about 1 yr ago or so that was one I thought I couldn’t refuse.

It was for me to perform an optical shop…meaning I would go into a shop where they do eye exams, choose lenses, buy glasses and report on the entire thing.

Knowing that glasses were very expensive to buy I jumped on this opp, as the mystery shopping company would reimburse me for the eye exam and 1/2 of the chosen frames and lenses…

I figured this would be a great way to get some new glasses that I wanted without all of the huge expense.

To make this long story short, I performed the entire shop from beginning to end with tons of paperwork to submit. The frames and lenses at this particular store were very expensive. For the frames I wanted, the only ones I wanted, they came to about $475.00. Wow…not expecting that, but since I was getting reimbursed, I figured I would get the ones I wanted.

When my payment came in, they sent me less than 1/2 of what the price of the glasses was, not including the eye exam on top of that. Best believe it that I was right on the phone with them immediately.

They said they didn’t realize how much they would be…I never did get my 1/2 of what the glasses were…

I just wanted to ensure that if you are performing mystery shops, don’t be afraid to call them on the telephone to clarify questions you may have or concerns that you think might arise.

After all of the fun and excitement of your first Secret Shopping assignment, now comes the part that gives many people the most difficulty, putting together the report.

It’s worth noting that there really is no such thing as a standard report. Each assignment will have been compiled based on the specific requirements of the sponsor company and in collaboration with the Secret Shopping Company a list of questions will have been devised and assembled into a unique questionnaire.

Having mentioned that, there will normally be a basic structure to the questionnaire that will apply to most assignments. This will include:

• First impressions
• Salesperson approach
• Salesperson selling skills
• Closing the sale
• Customer satisfaction
• Overall shopping experience

Many of the questions will require answers in a multiple choice format, Yes/No, Excellent, Very Good, Satisfactory, Poor, Unacceptable etc. and these will be in a ‘tick box’ or radio button format. These tend to be straightforward and cause little difficulty.

Some questions will then ask for additional information, and this is where most difficulty is experienced. Just remember that all your sponsor is interested in are the facts relating to your experience and not your own opinions. Keep this in mind all the time you are completing your report and so long as you have followed the brief to the letter, the whole process will become much easier.

The following is a sample section summarising the whole shopping experience based on the Continue Reading…
