2.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but not much help with pricing your services, March 8, 2004

This review is from: How to Start and Run Your Own Mystery Shopping Company (Ring-bound)

I purchased the book and found it helpful in all other areas except pricing. Pricing is key and yet the authors brush over it very vaguely. In the book, the authers state that they can be reached for any additional information needed to price your services. I went to their website and have written several letters with no reply. So, go ahead and but don't expect the authors to deliver on additional support.

I recently purchased this book and have found it to be extremely helpful in starting my own mystery shopping business. The book includes some of the most useful forms that I have come across and has helped my business grow in a fraction of the time I initially estimated. I have purchased other books related to this topic, but this is the first one that covered ALL of the areas essential in starting and running a successful mystery shopping company.
