Secret Shopper Tactics
Many people who begin mystery shopping become discouraged because it is
hard to make a lot of money doing it. There is a steep learning curve
to a lot of the mystery shopping jobs that you'll be doing. Once you do
a few jobs, however, it gets increasingly easy to be able to know what
is expected of you when you're on the job and to fill out the online
evaluation forms quickly. Most of what you will be doing is actually
common sense but it does take time to understand what each of the
different companies expect from their employees. Here are a few things
that will help you to make your mystery shopping the most profitable.
The first thing that you should do whatever your mystery shopping is to
enlist a buddy. My wife and I started mystery shopping at the same time
and it has worked out very well for us as we are able to do twice as
much in less than half the time. It is also worked out well and that we
are able to take jobs that we would not be able to take if we only had
one account with these companies. Here are some of the reasons why
having more than one person working together can benefit you whenever
you are doing mystery shopping jobs.
The first way that teaming up for mystery shopping can be beneficial is
whatever you're doing many jobs during the day. Some of our first jobs
that we did were with grocery stores and these are perfect for more
than one person as you can split up and cover twice as much area in the
same amount of time. Whenever we went into the grocery stores, I would
go up to the service counter and ask a specific question of the person
working the counter. I would then go directly to the produce section
and ask a question from somebody working in there. After working in the
produce section I would go directly to the seafood area in order to
give them an evaluation. By the time I was finished with the three
jobs, my wife would be finished with the bakery, deli and meat
department. We could then proceed to checkout and be out of the store
within 10 minutes.
Another reason why is it a good idea to have more than one account with
the mystery shop network is because many of the individual stores will
not let you shop them more than one time in a two-month period. If you
and your partner each have your account, you can do your favorite shops
twice in the amount of time that you could typically only do them once.
That is why we are constantly able to go to the movies and to do our
favorite grocery stores in various mystery shops on a regular basis. It
is help us to be more productive in our mystery shopping jobs. |
