Mystery Shopping...again

[ckmommy]

If there is anyone out there willing to share some more info on this with me, I would love to hear about it. I am most interested in the companies that you work with, and you feel are good companies. Also, are there shops that are not fast food companies? I would really like more of a shopping type thing. How long are you written reports? And, why is it necessary to tape record the shop?? Please PM me with any info that you feel you can share with me. Thank you so much.

I posted a really long post about this in a previous MS thread. I think it was in this thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=776206 HTH

You are really going to have to go to www.volition.com/forum to get that information. If you want to find specific types of companies that shop certain industries then go to www.mystershop.org. You can search there by industry and state. To find out what are good companies, you need to search volition. There are hundreds of companies out there. I personally will do a search on a company before I apply or do a shop for them. I have stopped working for some companies becuase the pay too slowly. But others love the company and will still work for them. All reports are not created equal. I have done reports that have taken 5 minutes and reports that have taken 5 hours. Most shops that "pay" or reimburse well are going to have alonger report to do. It all depends. I personally record shops to get the timings down. Easier then checking a watch or using a stop watch. It also makes observations easier when I have the person I am talking to on tape. I don't have to sweat to remember virtually every little detail.
