Yesterday we talked about how to get organized before approaching the mystery shopping companies, today I want to share with a few that I work with along with how to approach the company with an introduction.
Signing up with a myster shop company:
- Use your mystery shopping email address always that matches with your paypal account.
- Fill out the applications fully. Try not to leave out any opportunity to express yourself.
- They will mostlikey ask for your social security number. This is to where they can issue you a 1099 at the end of the year for the money they have paid you.
- Once you have submitted the application, go to you email account and check on a welcome email for the company. I use this information to fill out my spread sheet on the company. I also save the email in a folder in my email account for easy referrence.
Introducing yourself to the companies:
- Always send a seperate email to the company to introduce yourself. Don’t just rely on the application to get your name known.
- Use the email address that you got when you recieved the welcome email after signing up with the company. Usually it goes to someone specific, if not, look on their site for a contact email. Also, try to address it to a person and not to a generic account.
- Make it short but also showcase your strong points.
Here is an example of a letter that I send to companies. I just keep it saved in my documents and copy and paste it into the email. I adjust it some according to what I am applying for.
Good morning (afternoon) my name is Anna McMullen and I am very interested in becoming a mystery shopper with your company. I feel that I have the qualifications that would serve your organization well. I am very detailed oriented, reliable, presentable, and understand the need for this service. I believe that customer service is a key performance indicator for any company selling to or servicing customers. I believe that reliable information that a company can get from the consumer can help better the company and advance the company to the next level of customer service.

I am located in Louisville, KY and I am interested in shopping for you within a 50 mile radius of my home. I travel periodically and would like to contact you when traveling to see if there is opportunities at the destination that I will be traveling or along the way.
I am looking forward to partnering with your company and assisting you with your company’s customer service goals.
Sincerly,
Anna McMullen
