I am a shopper cum boutique owner from Surat(Gujarat) . Mystery Shopping is a fun activity that I usually do to spend some leisure time as I often pick up assignments like, Spa’s Salons, Restaurants, Retail Outlets - to give me more ideas on apparels, theaters etc . So here are the companies, I am working for and have worked with in the past as well, ’
Shaw Hotels & Consultancy, Mumbai(Good company, nice people, pays on time)
Trans MR Consulting, Mumbai(Very Nice company again, good people, pays on time)
Grass Roots India, Mumbai(Nice Company, good people, pays on time)
Onion Insights(Name is funny, but yes, good company again, but pays in more than 90 days)
These are the three companies that I work with regularly, on various projects, in cities such as Surat and nearby towns such as Vapi, Ankaleshwar .These were the companies I love to work with as they give frequent mystery audits, pays well on per assignment basis and everything is on their systems(softwares), used by them to conduct mystery shopping . Working with companies listed above for more than 2 years now, and still working . I had previously worked with many companies, in the past and had some bad experiences so left them, listed below - Go at your own risk with the companies
Bare International(Assigns projects overnight without informing, doesn’t answer the phone)
WeMark India(does not pay in time, when they pay, they pay less than the assigned amount, above which, cuts Rs. 5/- per transaction /assignment and additionally tell to make fraud with reports) Ms. Neha Sharma from the company quite often used to tell to make date frame changes, time changes and to give fraud pictures .
Red Quanta(big claims but very few assignments, get audits in a blue moon, however, pays in time)
International Service Check(pays in more than 30 days, however no ethics with how project managers should talk to shoppers, consider us as slaves)
