How to find legitimate Mystery shopper positions?
Written by admin on April 17th, 2009
Particularly in South Florida. I do know the positions exist because an agency I once worked employed shoppers to validate that stores were properly handling their product and customer coupons. There would have to be an element of organization and recordkeeping that was required to be a good mystery shopper and send back accurate sample data to company. I think I'd be good at this. Any ideas on finding these positions?
Your organization and recordkeeping skills will make you an excellent shopper. You also seem to have good writing skills. Here are some tips to get started and be successful as a Mystery Shopper.
Do not pay to apply to any company. Legitimate mystery shopping companies do not charge shoppers a fee.
Apply to many mystery shopping companies. You never know which companies will have a need for shoppers in your area. A company that does not have a demand for shoppers in your town today could see that change if they land a new client tomorrow.
Be willing to pay your dues. The first jobs you are offered will not be high-paying or glamorous; however, when you show that you will do a good job, you can become eligible for better assignments.
When you accept a shop, do it. New shoppers fail to complete their assignments about 75% of the time. Just by doing what you agreed to do, doing it right and doing it on time, you can make yourself stand out.

I don't kow how it is in Florida, but I live in St. Louis, Mo and I want to be a mystery shopper also. I went to secretconsumer.com and I paid them the $20 and I still haven't recieved work to do. This was in April when I signed up. They give you a LONG list of companies to choose from, but it doesn't say if these companies are in your area or not and you have to apply with them and wait for them to call you back. So, don't go through secretconsumer.com because you will waste your time and money. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
