Rating: Summary: Substantive, realistic and helpful Review: I read this book out of curiosity about what mystery shoppers do and who hires them. Cathy Stucker offers real-world knowledge about what mystery shoppers do, how to get such work, what you can expect in the way of earnings and much, much more. The book is also attractive and well-written and even includes an easy-to-use directory of companies looking for mystery shoppers.
Rating: Summary: the mystery shopper manual Review: pretty informative manual, with a lot of information to go through. to be a mystery shopper one needs to really plow through all the mystery shopper firms, which takes a lot of time. however, if you do follow the advice in manual you can become a shopper, but with diligence. i do recommend it for a good starter though.
Rating: Summary: It's a classic! Review: There's nothing like having a book written by someone who has done their homework and lived what they're recommending. Cathy Stucker is one such author, and her book is the classic book on mystery shopping.
Rating: Summary: Too Basic Review: This book is for those who is just starting out. Not exactly "the" manual, but it gets you started. If you're looking to advance and keep getting assignments, then get another book. I've been in mystery shopping for 1 month, and I need something further. Not bad for getting your feet wet, though.
Rating: Summary: Helpful for getting started Review: This book is helpful if you've never mystery shopped before. It starts out with the basics, and walks you through each step of the process. If you're intrigued by the idea of getting paid to shop, this is the book for you. I found several shops -- and they more than covered the cost of the book -- in the first week I owned it.Nice and concise!
Rating: Summary: No real information Review: This book is over priced. There is nothing in it that can't be found for free by doing a basic search just using the words "mystery shopping"
Rating: Summary: Perfect book for new mystery shoppers! Review: This book is very informative and I can attest to most of its accuracy. I have been mystery shopping for National Shopping Service for years and love it. They have some really fun mystery shopping opportunities and the pay is pretty good. This would be a great company to get started with as they are very big and have a ton of clients. You can sign up online on their website at http://www.nationalshoppingservice.com.
Rating: Summary: Great Info and Tons of Leads Review: This book made it so easy to get started--All the mystery shopping leads will keep me busy for a long time.I like that the information comes straight from mystery shopping companies, so I know that it's true. The Action Plan, which outlined what I needed to do, step-by-step, was especially useful.Beth O'Malley
