What is a
mystery shopper?
A Mystery
shopper is simply someone who is contracted by a company to shop at an
establishment and report feedback. When Mystery Shoppers are sent on
assignments, they pose as regular customers, interact with employees,
make purchases and sometimes return them, they fill out evaluation forms
describing what happened during their visit and collect compensation
from their contractors at the end of each assignment.
Why would a
company pay someone to shop? Companies rely on Mystery Shopping to measure
the quality of services that its' consumers receive and also to identify
opportunities, prevent problems, improve the understanding of
marketing, and to refine and evaluate products, actions and services.
Furthermore, the success of any business is built on the quality of its
service, as well as meeting the standards set forth by its company. A
decrease in either of these areas, directly results in a loss of
customers, their loyalty, and of course the company's profits.
Therefore, it is very important to the success of these companies that
they constantly monitor the level of service and satisfaction that they
provide to their customers.

What type

typical to receive such things as oil changes, mobile phones, jewelry,
hotel stays, restaurant meals, weekly food shopping, salon treatments
and much, much more.
What are
the various WAYS of mystery shopping?
Video
Mystery Shopping Video
Mystery Shopping occurs when a sponsor sends a mystery shopper into
their own store to secretly video tape such things such as: sales team's
performance, interaction between customers, customer relations, etc.
This information will disclose the quality of the store and will reveal
any need for improvement. Competitor
Mystery Shopping Competitor
Mystery Shopping happens when a
Mystery Shopper visits the sponsoring company's competitor. The visit
is aimed to give the sponsor an edge over their competition. When
competitive shopping, the mystery shopper looks at things such as the
competitors: best selling model, financing options, pricing, incentive
packages, etc.

Mystery Shoppers
are required to
call certain establishments to determine the phone skills of phone techs
and then report all findings to the sponsoring company.
What are
the different METHODS of Mystery
Shopping?
There are
many
methods of mystery shopping. Product Sampling Have you ever gotten free
samples at a grocery
store? I bet you thought the people giving away the samples were store
employees. They're not! They are independent contractors who are paid to
give away samples. Samplers are needed every where - not just at
grocery stores but also at malls, retail parking lots, and even sporting
events! Samplers must be friendly, inviting, enthusiastic, and outgoing
individuals who enjoy interacting with the general public. Product
Demonstrators Product
Demonstrators are designed to educate consumers on how a particular
product or service is used, worn, or works and how the consumer can
benefit from the particular product or service. This job is very
important being that, as a product demonstrator, you control the
public's view point about the product or service that is being
demonstrated. A poor demonstration could mean the failure of a product
launch or your agency losing a client. Sometimes called "brand
ambassadors", demonstrators must be enthusiastic, outgoing, professional
individuals who enjoy interacting with the general public. Retail
Entertainment This is a
method used to generate enthusiasm about a product or service and create
an exciting shopping experience for shoppers. Retail Entertainment
specialists are extremely outgoing and enjoy being "on stage" in retail
environments. Costume
Character
representatives This is a method where an
individual is
required to dress up and play a particular role. Costume characters vary
from clowns to hippos to super heroes and more. Costume Character
representatives must enjoy interacting with the public, especially
children. Merchandising
This is a method that requires you to visit
store locations and maintain a manufacturer's line of products. Have you
ever seen someone stocking pop in a grocery store but they didn't work
in the actual store? Well, that was an example of a merchandising. The
main goal is basically to present products in their best light so that
they generate more sales. Surveyors Surveyors are individuals
stationed at retail
locations who are responsible for encouraging consumers to participate
in brief Q & A's to measure customer satisfaction. Surveyors are
very aggressive, outgoing individuals who don't mind a little rejection. Tabling
representatives An
example of tabling representatives would be the individuals who you see
sitting at tables at retail establishments, events or festival
locations. They are typically seen promoting enrollment/sign-ups for
particular products or services. Tabling representatives must be
inviting but very aggressive as they are paid based on performance. Distribution
Representatives Distribution
Representatives are people who contact merchants and ask their
permission to place "Take-One" displays in their office. Take-ones are
brochures or flyers that invite consumers to "Take-One" to learn a
little more about a product or service. Distribution Representatives are
highly motivated self-starters who can set goals, meet deadlines and
can handle rejection. They are typically paid based on performance. Event
Marketers Event Marketers
are representatives who conduct tabling (see tabling) at special events
to promote a product or service and generate applications or
enrollments. This is a fast paced environment which calls for an
inviting, yet aggressive and energetic person. Pay concerning this
opportunity is usually based on performance. Modeling/Talent
Representatives Modeling/Talent
Representatives have a particular look or talent that is needed and
requested for certain promotions. Head shots must be submitted in order
to be considered for this opportunity. However, please do not send your
head shots to Divinely Successful, Inc. The company who is offering
the assignment will request them from you. Interviewing:
Interviewing is simple.
Get contracted for an interviewing assignment and then meet people and
get paid! Have you ever seen people conducting surveys outside of a
retail store? How about coming to your door to ask you questions about
common household products? Did you know that these people are getting
paid to do this and that these jobs are in high demand? That's right!
Interviewing is an exciting way to make money simply by asking people
what they think. Interviewing is an important part of market research.
In fact, interviewing is the only way that manufacturers and service
providers are able to find out what the public thinks or need in a
product. If you can talk to people and ask them questions in a polite
and professional manner, then you will most likely be a good
interviewer.
What are
the
qualifications of a mystery shopper?
You must
be at least 18 years of age or older
with a computer and internet access, be a U.S. citizen, be reliable,
observant, able to follow directions, have a positive attitude, with
reliable transportation along with the competence to complete
assignments. Other terms and conditions may apply. However, you don't
have to have a degree or any special training,skill or experience,
although experience in customer service (such as having worked in
hospitality or retail) is helpful. Also, if any training is needed, the
mystery shopping companies will provide it.
Do I have
to be a private investigator to be a
mystery shopper in Nevada?
No.
Although Nevada is strictly regulated, it is NOT necessary for mystery
shoppers to become private investigators in order to receive
assignments. If you want to complete mystery shopping assignments in
Nevada, you would have to register with firms that are associated with
the Private Investigative Licensing Board and also be an employee of a
private investigator.
What
will I be required to do as a mystery shopper?
When chosen to be a Mystery
Shopper, you will
be required to visit scheduled establishments, pose as a regular
consumer, and observe cleanliness, service, quality and other standards
important to the business and its customers as defined on the evaluation
form. Questions on the evaluation form might include things like: Were
you greeted within 60 seconds of entering the establishment? Were the
floors clean? Did
the person who took your order suggest additional
items? Was the salesperson able to demonstrate product knowledge by
answering your questions? Was your food fresh and served as you ordered
it? Did the cashier count back your change and say thank you? Was the
rest room clean and fully stocked with soap and tissue? etc. When you
leave the establishment, you will need to enter the answers on the
evaluation report form that will be given to you, or write a narrative
report describing your visit. All of your findings must be reported back
to the sponsoring company according to the parameters outlined in the
contract.
How long will
each assignment take?
Most
Mystery Shoppers only work 1-2 hour per assignment, and can accept or
reject an assignment with just a day's notice.
How much will I earn per assignment?
FYI, Mystery Shopping is a billion dollar
industry. Most Mystery Shoppers average about $24 an hour and up to $40k
a year without any special skill, training or degree. You also need to
remember the fringe benefits of this fun and exciting opportunity-FREE
products and services. Also, the New York Times published an article
about a woman that was earning around $7,000.00 a month as a mystery
shopper. Nevertheless, the amount that you'll earn per assignment will
be disclosed by the sponsoring company prior to you accepting the
assignment. If it is not clear to you how much the assignment pays,
simply ask. Sponsors want you to feel comfortable with working for them.
Is there any way for me to increase my
money
making abilities?
Yes. Sign
up with all of the companies that we reveal to you and closely watch
your email for study invitations, participate in studies, leverage your
time, be organized and do a good job with each assignment and you'll be
highly valued by mystery shopping companies and schedulers, who will
give you as much work as they can. Are there jobs available in my area?
If you live in or regularly travel to an area
where there are national or regional chain stores, banks, and
restaurants, then you can rest for sure that mystery shopping is likely
done there. Almost any business that does business with the public is
mystery shopped.
What do
companies look for when they hire shoppers?
Most importantly, they want to know that you
are reliable, observant and able to follow directions. They will train
you on how to mystery shop. That's no problem.
How long will it take to get my first
assignment?
If you apply to
several companies, you may get your first assignment within a couple of
days or up to two weeks or longer, depending on availability and your
desire to participate. Some shoppers have reported getting their first
assignment(s) the very same day they applied, but it will vary. The more
flexible and available you are, the more assignments you could get.
Is there a limit to the number of
assignments I
can apply for?
Absolutely
not! We suggest you sign up with all the companies that we send you and
manage your time so that you can get as many assignments as you can.
Just be sure to allow yourself enough time to properly complete each
assignment.
Is it ethical
to work for more than one company?
Yes. Most
companies understand that you will work for other
companies. Whatever you do, just remember not to share information about
one company with another, and don't share one company's report forms,
completed evaluations, or other confidential information with another.
Can I take my spouse, friend or child
with me?
Yes. If, it is a place they
would normally go
with you. For example, you might take your children to the grocery store
or a family restaurant, but perhaps not a more formal restaurant. Don't
take anyone else along if they will distract you from properly
completing your assignment, or if you have not been told by the
sponsoring company, that you may. Remember you are a mystery shopper. If
you have young children, don't tell them you're mystery shopping. You
don't want them asking, loudly, in the middle of a shop, "Mommy, Daddy,
are we doing the mystery shop now?" Also, any accompanying adults must
know that they are not to talk about mystery shopping or give away that
you are the shopper.
Will
the employees know that I'm the mystery shopper?
No. At first, you might feel like you have a
neon sign that says MYSTERY SHOPPER blinking on your forehead, but they
really won't know. If for some reason someone asks you if you are the
mystery shopper, just play dumb. "Mystery shopper? What's that?".
How and when do I get paid for my
assignment?
Most companies will pay you
by check, but a
few use direct deposit. The job scheduler will explain the payment
procedure and when you can expect payment when you are selected for an
assignment. Normally, you'll be paid within 3 and 5 weeks after you've
completed your assignment(s). Sometimes it'll be quicker and sometimes
it may be slower. Keep in mind that many mystery shopping companies wait
until payment is received from their client, at which point they pay
their shoppers but they will let you know prior to you accepting the
assignment. However, if it is not clear to you, simply ask.
Will I have to pay taxes on the money I
earn?
Yes. As an
independent contractor, you will be
responsible for paying your own taxes. In almost every case you'll
receive a 1099 form from each mystery shopping company that paid you
$600 or more. Some companies will send you a 1099 form regardless of the
amount they paid you.
How
will I know if I am selected for assignments?
If you are selected to participate, you will be
notified by the Sponsoring Company via phone but usually via email.
When contacted, you will receive the terms and conditions of the
agreement. Just be sure to keep your address and contact numbers updated
with all of the companies who you register with and if at all possible,
set up a free email account for studies only. This will help you access
opportunities quicker. We recommend Yahoo.com, Gmail.com, Hotmail.com.
Will
Divinely Successful, Inc. issue contracts, assignments and/or
compensation?
No, Divinely
Successful, Inc. will not issue contracts, assignments or compensation
for any work, at any time. The sponsoring company who elects you for the
assignment will be totally responsible for compensating you. Divinely
Successful, Inc. is not a Mystery Shopping company. Nor, do we hire
Mystery Shoppers. We simply connect people to companies who hire Mystery
Shoppers via our Mystery Shopping Secrete Source Guide and once we
connect you, it is your total responsibility to actually sign up with
the companies and contact each of them for assignments. Most companies
will post assignments on their website or email them to you while others
will simply call you as assignments become available.
Will these
companies charge me a fee to
register with them?
No, you
will not be charged a fee to register with any of the companies in our
Mystery Shopping Secrete Source Guide. No legitimate company would
charge you a fee to work for them. The only fee that you will have to
pay is the fee to access our Mystery Shopper Secrete Source Guide and
the fee is not to work for us but for us providing a product and
services for you.
When Chosen for a Mystery Shopping

will be to evaluate and comment on customer service in a wide variety of
Shops,
Grocery Stores, Malls, Restaurants, Casinos, Casino Resorts & Spas,
Private
