Get Paid to Shop - Be a Mystery Shopper 
 
by Cyndi Allison June 28, 2005

Note Feedback

Some mystery companies provide feedback on all shops. They may have a rating system in place with a numbered scale (which may or may not be visible to the shopper). High ratings mean that you’re more likely to get more shops, while lower ones will push you to the bottom of the list.

Check the online space and keep track of any scores or feedback listed. Make any adjustments noted on following shops. Unless you made major mistakes, a slighter lower score on an early shop probably won’t make a huge difference.

If the scheduler rates lower and suggests more detail, then include more on the next shop. If scores are lower than the top rate (and no details noted), consider emailing and asking what’s needed to make the shop better the next time, but first review any online material. A quick comparison with an online example can often help a shopper identify areas where improvement is needed and will save the scheduler from having to repeat information over and over.  

In other cases, the scheduler may email thanking you for your work with or without observations about the quality. This varies from company to company. Some are more organized and detailed on feedback while others are not. It’s usually safe to assume that the shop was solid if you don’t hear otherwise (or don’t see a lower scale rating on your shopping list).

Feel free to email back with a quick “thanks for the shop” or to express an appreciation for any tips offered.  Schedulers are people too (of course) and enjoy some personal acknowledgement. Don’t expect a response or to become a chronic email buddy. The scheduler is busy working with a number of shoppers and business clients, but your name will ring a good bell and be higher on the “to-work-with” list if you’re a solid shopper and personable on a professional basis.
