Sounds good, right?<\/p>\n

But what exactly IS a “Mystery Shopper”?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A “Mystery Shopper” or “Secret Shopper” is someone who is hired by a company to pose as a customer and secretly report back to the owner about their customer service experience and other details. The “mystery shopper” is paid for the assignment (as much as $60 per hour) and the company will also pick up the tab for the purchases made in their store and\/or meals during the assignment. <\/p>\n

Why would a company pay for a “mystery shopper” service?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

Employees are always on their best behavior when the boss is around, so it's almost impossible for companies to review their own services objectively. To get a true picture of customer service provided, and perform market research, they hire people to pose as shoppers.<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples of companies that use the services of <\/strong>Mystery Shoppers<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
