Mystery Shopping - An Easy Part-Time Home-Based Business
Opportunity That You Can Start With Little to No Investment
What if there was a way to work from home doing a job that was
actually fun and didn't require much in the way of specialized
skills or start-up costs? Would you be interested in learning
more?
Ever considered working as a Mystery Shopper? Not quite sure
what Mystery Shopping is? First of all, Mystery Shopping is a
very real business. Every day all types of business are visited
and evaluated by Mystery Shoppers. Mystery Shoppers look and act
like regular customers, but they're more. They've been hired to
discretely evaluate the quality of the service they're receiving
from employees.
Mystery shoppers check to see whether or not employees are
offering special promotions, if the food and drinks they order
arrive within certain timeframes, if they're being greeted in
person and on the telephone in a friendly, professional manner,
if the restrooms are clean, if the store shelves are properly
stocked and whatever other criteria they've been hired to
evaluate.
The part of this business that's the mystery is that the
employees being evaluated aren't supposed to know which of their
customers are performing the evaluations. That way, these
employees perform in a more natural manner; they may or may not
perform their duties as they have been trained to do.
Mystery Shopper Job Skills
Do you know good service when you see and get it? Are you good
at paying attention to details? Do you have a strong memory? Are
your communication skills, both written and oral, a bit better
than average? And most importantly, can you keep a secret?
If you're on assignment and you're seen taking notes, or you're
overhead talking about your assignment, or you glance around
excessively or ask too many questions, you'll blow your cover.
And if employees know you're the Mystery Shopper, they'll be on
their best behavior. They'll do all they've been trained to do,
when otherwise they might not have.
But you're not done yet! In addition to visiting and evaluating
the place of business, most shopping assignments require
evaluators to complete a detailed report and submit it before
payment for the job is authorized.
If the report asks for the name and physical description of the
person who assisted you, you better be prepared to provide this
information. If the report asks how long after ordering did it
take for your appetizers arrive, you better know the correct
number of minutes.
How Much Is the Pay?
Depends on how aggressive you are. There are definitely enough
Mystery Shop assignments to keep you busy. When you see them
advertised, you've got to act quickly because they get snapped
up fast- especially the plum ones.
Because so many different types of businesses hire Mystery
Shoppers, there's no one standard payment policy. It's up to you
to check them out before you decide to accept an assignment.
Some pay a flat hourly fee; some cover your expenses plus offer
a bonus. Some, like at restaurants, allow you a certain amount
to spend on your meals and tip and then pay an amount over and
above this.
If you want a home-based business that still enables you to
interact with other human beings, inquire about becoming a
Mystery Shopper!
