The best of all possible worlds for a mystery shopper is to have mystery shopping service schedulers offering you secret shopping jobs before they post them on the online job boards. This is exactly what they do for their "go to" shoppers. A "go to" shopper is a shopper that the scheduler has worked with on several occasions and has a great working relationship with. She knows she can trust that shopper to only accept mystery shopping assignments she can complete properly and on time. This is a shopper mystery shopping company schedulers will go to with choice secret shopping opportunities. Most of the really elite mystery shop jobs (the cruise and hotel mystery shopping assignments) never make it onto the job boards of the secret shopping websites. Only the "go to" shoppers get these kinds of assignments. So what do mystery shopping service schedulers look for in a shopper? Be professional. Return their calls or respond to their emails promptly. If you accept a job be sure to complete it as per the instructions. File the report on time.
Mystery Shop Reports
Each client will want to know different things so make sure you take the time to read the shop instructions before you leave to perform the shop. It is also a good idea to print out a copy of both the shop instructions and the mystery shop report and take them with you.Do not take them inside the shop location or look at them where anyone might see you doing so. I try to park where I am unlikely to be seen so that I can quickly go over the report just before entering the shop location. After completing the shop, I get back into my car, drive a short distance away and fill out the report while the details are fresh in my mind. This is especially helpful if you will be completing more than 1 secret shopper job that day. Doing it this way makes it easy to fill out the online mystery shop reports once I'm back home. The most important thing to remember about filling out mystery shop reports is to provide narrative where the client wants narrative and get the report submitted on time. Mystery shop narratives should be factual rather than subjective. For instance, to say that an employee's shirt had what appeared to be a large coffee stain on it and was not tucked in will usually be better received by the client than if you say that the employee was sloppy looking. If you treat mystery shop jobs as if they are important and always submit well written reports on time, you WILL get noticed by mystery shop company schedulers. This is how you can be a secret shopper who gets her pick of mystery shopping assignments.
