Mystery Shopping...
Is it really possible to get paid to shop?
I first heard the phrase “Mystery Shopper” around about 1995. I was working a temp job for a very large and well known mobile phone company, my job was to input orders. I used to collect the faxes, answer the phones and simply input orders onto rather basic computers with green screens. My desk was situated right next to a small collection of desks with a sign hanging above them which read, “Mystery Shopper”.
If that’s not enough to prick a young mans interest, then I don’t know what is. Inputting data is boring, it’s repetitive and it’s very easy for your mind (and ears) to be distracted if you let them. I was certainly distracted by my new Mystery Shopper friends, they seem to really enjoy their work and have lots of fun at the same time.
A “Mystery Shopper” is someone that works for or is hired by a company to act as a customer in return for feedback on their experience. Sound daft? Not really, there’s lots of reasons why this is a great idea.
It provides management with an unbiased view of service
It allows the marketing department to ensure that a certain message is being presented correctly
It highlights areas of strength or areas that require additional training
It provides a benchmark for future tests
Improvements can be made based on your feedback resulting in better service
