Why Didn't I Get The Mystery Shopping Assignment? (Ask The Coach)

Question:

How come when I put in for an assignment in my town, I don't get it, but someone in a different town does?

Answer From Coach Melanie:

Many mystery shoppers will request to be considered for assignments in cities and towns nearby to where they live that they feel are worth their while, or are in areas they travel to on a regular basis. So you can't assume just because you're in the city or town of the mystery shopping job, that it won't go to a mystery shopper from another area.

In such a case, it would simply be a matter of first come, first served. Plus, shopper rotation requirements by the company for whom the research is for could have an impact. I'm sure you'll get your turn in time.

There are also many ways to make yourself stand out as a mystery shopper when you do your self-marketing--just as is true for any form of self-employment. I've written about such techniques extensively in my books "The Perfect Work-At-Home Job: Mystery Shopping" and "How-To Finally Make Money As A Mystery Shopper".

Have a great day and happy shopping!
