Telephone Mystery Shopping Jobs
Mystery shopping is something that raises a great deal of interest for people, especially those who love to shop! It is a great way to earn extra money and get out of the house. You also get to eat at different restaurants and buy cute clothes and keep them! It is just something that can be so much fun to do.
With the way things are nowadays, getting out and about is not easy for most people. So, mystery shopping is not necessarily convenient for those people and some just don’t have the time to run around town completing these extra errands. I have found a way to mystery shop without leaving your home: Telephone Mystery Shopping.
What is Telephone Mystery Shopping???
Most places want to know how their customer service is over the phone. They need people to come in and give an unbiased review of this. This helps the company to see where they need to improve and work on getting those improvements done.
To be a telephone mystery shopper, you need to qualify. You will find out the sites that have these opportunities, sign up and then you will be able to look at the opportunities you can do. You will probably be given a toll-free number to make the calls from or you might be responsible for yourself. You will have specific information that will be given to you prior to that you are looking for from the conversation. Once you have completed the call, you will enter the required information into the computer and get paid. Be sure to look at the timeframe for pay for each company, as they all have different rules. You can even keep track on a calendar or spreadsheet of the different payments and when they might arrive.
