Are you the kind of person that would not mind talking to complete strangers acting as if you are genuinely interested in what they are talking about? These are just some of the questions that you can ask yourself. There are people out there who have already chosen to participate in secret or mystery shopping. Some people have been out there for years, helping companies to get better and reach their goals. However, what does it take to be the best mystery shopper you can be?

To be the best mystery shopper, you definitely need to be focused. You have to know your plan of action and execute it. When you are not focused on what your goal is, how can you help the company that is paying you to provide the service for them? When going into a store or calling someone on the phone, to be the best mystery shopper you do not need to be distracted by what goes on around you. Stay alert and be ready for whatever comes your way.

With the companies that know they are being shopped often, the best mystery shopper can answer their questions without making the shopped person think they are being shopped. Most companies have associates that will try to throw even the best mystery shopper off course to see if they are a real customer or someone shopping them. The best mystery shopper has to be quick on their feet and a quick thinker. One example that has been seen is when some people make their secret shops over the phone. The company being shopped sometimes asks if they know where they are located so the caller knows how to get to their facility. Most cases, the mystery shopper says they know where that facility is coming from. Then the person being shopped asks them where they are coming from so they can give better directions. Well, most people would be stuck and stutter before giving the answer, but the best mystery shoppers replies in a way which will not give the associate a reason to believe they are being shopped.

The best mystery shopper should be prepared for what they have to do. If they shop on the phone, they should have a fake name and phone number to give if they need to. Some people try to wing their presentations and get caught sounding as if they do not know the answer. The person being shopped will most likely know at that point they are being shopped and then all of a sudden become the best sales person ever known to man. To be the best mystery shopper, you have to prepare and you have to pay attention. The slightest incorrect statement or slippage of words could result in the failure of the mystery shop.

As you see above, it is not as easy as you think to be the best mystery shopper. You have to be focused, pay attention, be prepared and be quick on your feet. Your mind has to be able to consistently fool the person being shopped. Do not let your over confidence in doing mystery shops allow you to make the mistake of being discovered as a mystery shopper.
