Elaine is ,most of all, a great teacher and doer of Mystery Shopping herself. I have taken her classes for years. I have purchased several other mystery shopping books and there is no comparison.
Elaine goes beyond in listing real companies that want mystery shoppers. They pay the shopper. They don't expect the shopper to pay a fee to "join". Elaine's upgraded book includes scams, and shopper awareness. Elaine gives reality as to what forms and reports a shopper may need. If one wants mystery shopping to be a business ,there is real information here to make sure you don't have losses. Because of Elaine's books I have done several shops for credible companies. It's so nice to get money back for dinners,recreation, and shopping, but especially nice to know that the companies are for real, thanks to Elaine's information. This is truly the only book you will need for Mystery Shopping to be successful.

I have subscribed for few mystery shopping companies to find out they were scams. Until one day I went to a job seminar at my school and the author of this book was there, talking about mystery shopping and because it was a seminar offered by the school I trusted it would not be another rip off, I read the book in one seating, and applied to five companies three days later I had an assignment it was something simple and low pay, true, but then I started to get great assignments for fine dinning restaurants on where I could invite my friends and spend more than $200.00 at a time. I am happy!! I go out, invite my friends, and still get paid. What a great deal!!!! Thanks Mrs Moran, JT

This was a very good book for the beginner to mystery shopping. It was thorough and provided the mystery shopper wannabee with lots of helpful tidbits of information on how to get started and what to expect. With that said, it is important to also state that this is not a book for anyone who is currently doing mystery shopping or who is looking to move to the next level as a mystery shopper.

In a time with more and more scams related to secret shopping, this book is a refreshing source for prospective mystery shoppers everywhere. Companies like ICCDS are a great place to start for future shoppers.

This book is the best on this subject matter. Not only is the concept of mystery shopper thoroughly explained, there are many examples that will help you to become successful as mystery shopper. Furthermore, the many sources cited in the book are very useful and not bogus as is often the case in many of these books. It will take you several days to check them all out. There is even information about other ways to create some supplemental income. An excellent book its money more than worth!

The author of this book is wonderful, she gives lots of information on how to be a Mystery Shopper. I took her class 4 years ago and I am still going strong as a Mystery Shopper. I recently got my friend into this and now she is really enjoying being a shopper also. Defintely is a great book to purchase. A+++++++
