Time, Effort and Money: Or How hard is this Mystery Shopping thing?
Good Mystery Shopping takes some effort on your part. However, once you have completed the initial training and gone on a couple of audits you can become pretty efficient and increase your compensation. Our Researchers are contractors not employees and are therefore in charge of their own taxes and insurance.
You are never required to pay any fees to Service Intelligence to be a Researcher. Though you are responsible for providing your own equipment (computer, printer, paper, watch, etc.).
Secret Shopping is part-time work. We pay by the audit and most Researchers can expect to make over $10 per hour plus free goods such as food or gas depending on the client.
Training is very important to us so you'll be expected to put in some time on our online training system and pass an exam before you start working with clients. This process should take no more than a couple of hours and is fairly interesting. You are not required to purchase or pay for anything during the training process. It is completely web-based and does not require any equipment beyond your computer, web browser and a connection to the internet.
After the initial training you select the clients in your area that you want to audit and do some project-specific training for them. After that you are good to go.
Once you have had some practice Mystery Shopping for us you should be able to complete most jobs in less than an hour depending on travel time. This includes getting the information about the job from the web-site, doing the job and typing in the results on our web-site afterwards. Check out a Day in the Life for more details.
