Mystery Shopping taught by a teacher and shopper
A few years ago, I was a student in Elaine's class. We got handouts and lots of information. Elaine has had years of mystery shopping experience, which gives geat credibility to her information. She has worked with all of her references. I recently got an email from her that her book was available. I ordered it and a couple of other Mystery shop books. There was no comparison of her book to the others. Her book is large 8 X 10 size with easy read print. It has lots of sources for Mystery Shopping Companies, plus online survey companies, and local focus groups, so there are many ways to make money . She has charts and graphs and what to keep track of as you would for a business. She has samples of retail reports,retail shopper scenarios, and all sorts of insiders tips. This book is the bible of mystery shopping. It is the only one needed.

Read it cover to cover!
I've read How to Become a Mystery Shopper cover to cover and found it to be very informative and easy to follow. It's an amazing industry and Ms. Moran has helped me learn how to take advantage of free restaurant meals, carpet cleaning, movies, glasses, and even hotel stays. I've attended her college course, but still found the book to be full of useful information. I recommend it highly for anyone interested in mystery shopping or who wants to develop their mystery shopping skills.

Secret Shopping Made Easy
This book made my first shop so easy. It also made applying for secret shops a snap. There are so many questions on the applications of various companies. This book prepared me to complete the questionnaires with confidence. My first shop I was rated a 10 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest. The higher the rating, the more shops you are eligible for. A great book.
