What It Takes to Successfully Perform Client Projects

Mystery shopping is an exciting opportunity to share your customer experiences and have your input heard. But it's not for everyone! Read on to see if it's for you.

To qualify as a Mystery Shopping Supplier with AboutFace™, you must have the following tools and abilities:

  • Reliable transportation
  • Computer and ability to check e-mail often
  • Fax machine, scanner and copier (digital camera is also required for some shops)
  • Telephone
  • Great writing skills
  • Ability to remain neutral when describing your experience
  • A memory for details. You'll need to remember the shop flow for the assignment and recall the details of the assignment for your evaluation.
  • Deadline driven: We depend on you to stick to the date you agree to perform a shop. When you accept a shop assignment, you are fully responsible and committed to completing the shop assignment for our client on time and in full detail. If you fail to comply and don't perform your shop on time and as laid out in the client guidelines, you risk being disqualified as a Mystery Shopping Supplier. We want you to succeed and to continue to participate in profitable and enjoyable shopping!

Once you start shopping, share the fun and spread the word! Refer your friends, co-workers and family members. The more potential shoppers registered with AboutFace™, the more opportunities we may be able to offer!
