Fun Secret Shopping Advice

Okay secret shoppers, are you ready to have some fun during the next mysteryshop assignment? Well, you have the job where you can have some real fun. You see, most people put on a cheap suit and tie and go to work as themselves. Nothing has changed about them except for a phony laugh when the boss tells a corny joke, and a sudden case of shyness when in the presence of a coworker crush. When you mysteryshop you do not have to be you. You can be whoever you want. After all, you are working undercover somewhat. The salesperson or property manager is clueless that you are there to mysteryshop them. Right? So why not put on a fun act. It will make your job as a secret shopper more exciting, while testing the property manager on how he or she handles different people and different situations. Now do not put on those silly Groucho glasses with the mustache, or take the word secret in secret shopper too seriously that you feel like you need to wear a trench coat with a detectives hat. You are representing the public and the public is not normal. So instead of wearing your regular uniform, street clothes, be a little creative the next time you mysteryshop.

Here is an idea. The next time you are on a mysteryshop assignment wear two different pairs of shoes. See if the customer service representative notices. If so, what was their reaction? Did they say anything or did they just blow it off? You know you will be cracking up inside when they look down at your feet and jerk their head up for the twentieth time.

If you are a man who is on a mysteryshop assignment, bring a womens purse. Wear it over your shoulder just like any woman would and pretend that you cannot find your car keys. Start digging through the purse while pulling out used tissues and lipstick. See if you can evaluate the reaction of the property management.

Fake a muscle spasm. Every time you hear them say and um or some other annoying bad habit, twitch your head or shake your body as if you just got a chill. It will be a great mysteryshop tool to keep track of their annoying habits.

Come down suddenly with a bad rash during the mysteryshop. Itch like a dog with fleas whenever the property manager does something that he is getting marked against for, like every time the sale gets interrupted with a phone call. Though if he is the only one running the store, he must answer the phone, but customers do not like it when they are competing for attention. Again, this is a creative way to keep count of bad habits.

A salesperson is supposed to maintain a dialog. Silence only gives a customer the opportunity to talk themselves out of a potential sale. Therefore, when you mysteryshop and a long pause in the conversation develops, start singing show tunes. Pick your favorite show tune and belt it out. It is okay if you are a horrible singer. Actually, the more tone deaf you are the better. Maybe you will teach that property manager a lesson to never allow a lull in the conversation again.

Just remember that the mystery shoppers job is not just a barrel of monkeys. You are there for serious business and the mystery shopping agency wants to see serious evaluations. But that does not mean that you cannot have a little fun as long it is intended to test the mysteryshop victim on how he or she handles certain situations.
