Mystery Shopping is a valuable tool, which provides owners and operators of service businesses with a fair, objective and unbiased view of their operations through the eyes of an educated consumer. Companies use the detailed reports to make important management decisions based on the information provided.
Your job as a Mystery Shopper will be to visit a specific operation as a regular customer and fully describe the events you witness. Before completing the assignment, you will be informed or given a summary of the specific company’s standard operating procedures, i.e. what the employees are supposed to be doing, so you will know what to look for. After the visit, you will complete a customized report for each operation detailing the events, both positive and negative.

The success of Customer Impact has been built on the quality and timeliness of the reports the company provides to its clients. All reports must be clear, concise and honest. Remember that it is not your job to be an overzealous food critic, chastise the service personnel, or to be a judge and jury. Your function is to provide accurate and factual information, using the guidelines provided. All work performed is strictly confidential. You are advised not to tell friends and family where you are performing evaluations or the results of the visits. Doing so may compromise the integrity of the reports and your future with Customer Impact.

The reports are to be completed immediately following your visit to ensure that the information reported is accurate and complete. You may not fill out the forms while performing the shop. Remember that the staff is not supposed to know you are there. If they know or suspect that you are a mystery shopper, they will raise their level of service, and we cannot provide our clients with accurate and objective information. If they determine that you are a mystery shopper while you are completing your assignment, there is a good chance that we will not be able to use the report or pay you for the shop.

Reports are to be completed and submitted within 24 hours of your completing the shop. The reports are completed by going to our website, www.customerimpactinfo.com, clicking on the “Shoppers” tab, then going to “Shopper Login.” We will not accept reports by mail, email or fax. The 24-hour time frame allows the editors at Customer Impact the opportunity to read the reports, contact the shoppers clarify any problems and submit the report to the client within a five-day period. Timeliness is vital to our clients. If additional information is needed, editors will contact shoppers via either e-mail or phone within two to four days of the shop being submitted, in most cases. It is important to be available for follow-up after submitting the report. If we are not able to reach you for clarification, the shop may not be used.

Factors include:

• Must meet the profile of the client
• Ability to complete reports as instructed
• Ability to produce a concise, complete report
• Ability to complete reports on time
• Ability to be objective
• Location
• MSPA certification
• Prior experience with our company
• About your Shopper Profile: You are much less likely to be chosen for an assignment if your profile contains ALL CAPS or all lowercase letters, Please use proper capitalization.
• About Required Questions: Some shop applications may require you to answer a mandatory question. When answering this question, it would benefit you to use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.

Those who follow the guidelines and make our job easier will receive the majority of assignments. Shoppers who submit their reports at the last minute, or late, will not be likely to be rescheduled. If we have to make long distance calls every month to clarify your reports, that indicates that the shops are not being performed effectively. This affects our ability to serve our clients efficiently.
