Engaging Multiple Shopper Companies

There could be a situation wherein a scheduler or a mystery shopping company is faced with a crisis due to a rush job or because of a last minute cancellation by any other mystery shopper. In such situation, the shop companies or the scheduler might look at you for help. You should accept the proposal immediately for many reasons.

First, these kinds of situation mean that you get an additional job without any competition from the other mystery shoppers.

Secondly, these kinds of assignments are generally better-paid assignments and thirdly, such situations improve your credibility and respect in the eyes of the scheduler and the agency. This would mean that whenever they would have something lucrative you would figure higher up on their priority list.

Maintain A Balance With A Number Of Mystery Shopping Companies: You should keep following up with other companies once you start getting assignments from one company. The successful mystery shoppers work with a number of mystery shopping companies. Because, sticking to just one company would mean that you would get only a small number of assignments at any given point of time.

The process of working with multiple companies also eliminates the wait period, which you would have to face if you work with only one or two companies. Working with more companies would mean that you would always have sufficient buffer of assignments and you could maximize your income from this business.

Secondly, the buffer and large number of assignment from multiple companies would mean that you have a wider choice of assignments and can select the better-paid assignments from the options you have.

If you work for more companies, there would be the initial teething troubles because all the companies prefer that you do a good number of low paid basic assignments before they could entrust you with better high paid assignments. 

You should be ready to accept them but keep reminding the company that after a particular number of assignments may be after 5-10 small paid assignments you would not be accepting the assignments less than a particular value say $30.

If you do so, it would help you in getting a good number of better-paid jobs. However, it would not be possible if you keep working for just one or two companies. This trick would work and after some time you would have assignments that could pay you as high as $100-$150 per assignment.
