How Much To Charge Mystery Shopping Clients (Ask The Coach)

Hi All--

Here's a question I get all the time in connection with starting your own mystery shopping business:

Question:

How much do I charge clients for shops, especially if I don't do them myself and subcontract them out?

Answer From Coach Melanie:

What to charge clients involves some good research so you are not priced too high and keeping yourself from getting business, and not so low that you are giving it away and are unprofitable.

I highly recommend that if you are starting a mystery shopping business that you get yourself a copy of THE book on this topic written by my friend Shari Joseph called "The Business Of Mystery Shopping" to save yourself a lt of time and trouble and jump start your success!

If you are already a mystery shopper, getting rid of the middleman (or woman as the case may be), could be the right next step for you. So to help you consider it, and provide a trustworthy resource if you decide to go down this path, here's a link to my article: "Starting Your Own Mystery Shopping Business: What's In It For You?"
