Want to Become a Secret Shopper? - This Will Help You Decide
Category: HOME BUSINESS
Secret Shopping began back in the 1940’s when it was used as a mechanism to measure employee integrity and although the processes have changed out of all recognition over the years, the basic principles still remain the same today.
Many of the biggest companies in the world now use secret shopper or mystery shopper programs and this means that each day there are more and more opportunities for people like you and me to earn good money. Secret shopping companies normally pay a fixed rate per assignment depending on the complexity of the job but it is possible to earn anything up to $40 per hour although this rate would normally only be achieved by more experienced shoppers. A range between $10 to $40 would be the norm.
A Secret Shopper is someone who acts as a regular customer in a designated establishment like department store, restaurant, amusement park or movie theatre. They are hired by an independent company to honestly and anonymously evaluate the quality of customer service they receive.
It is extremely important that during your assignment, you remain totally objective as you will be required to present both the good and bad elements of your shopping experience. Once you have completed your shop, you will be required to submit a detailed report concerning your experience. These can range from the very basic to extremely detailed depending on the complexity of the assignment. The need for a more detailed report will normally mean that the assignment will pay better.
It is very straightforward to become a secret shopper. First of all, you have to find yourself a secret shopping agency. There are many on the internet, take a look at as many as you can and start off by selecting one that you feel comfortable with. You can sign up with others later. Once you have supplied your details, you will be notified of assignments in your area. Pay for shopping jobs can range from as little as $8 to $10 for fairly simple assignments, buying a hot-dog for example up to $50 or even $100 for really complex jobs.
You must be capable of writing a detailed account of your experiences as a typical customer taking into consideration different aspects of how companies treat their customers, in terms of service and sales. Also, if you are willing to travel or make yourself available over a larger area you will certainly increase your opportunities to be selected for additional assignments.
I am often asked if any special tools are required to become a secret shopper?, and the simple answer is No. The only thing that you will really need is access to the internet and I guess that as you are reading this report online then you already have this. There are a few items however, that you may already have that can be a great help. A digital camera for example can be very useful, but don’t get caught taking photos or your cover will be blown!. Also, a small tape recorder could be very useful, particularly if you use it to record your thoughts as soon as you leave the store. The more tools you have at your disposal, the easier and more effective your shopping assignment will be.
The tremendous benefits to be realised from secret shopping are now being recognised by Companies all around the world. They recognise that for them it is a great way to improve their customer service by using the services of a secret shopping agency. Most major companies including Hotels, Retail Chains and airlines now provide people like us to make a great second, or even first income.
Secret shopping is not a ‘Get Rich Quick’ scheme. It is however a rewarding and enjoyable way to make money, particularly if you are like many people in this world who actually enjoy the shopping experience. It is of course even better if you are able to do it at someone elses expense. Many people have proved that it is possible to make a full time income from secret shopping and even if you only want to work on a part time basis, you can still earn enough to pay for that extra special holiday or pay the car loan off and you even get to have fun while doing it!.
