7 Companies That Pay You to Make Phone Calls as a Mystery Shopper

According to Secret Shopper, a reputable mystery company, telephone answering skills are critical for businesses. The telephone is still the primary point of contact for many businesses that service their customers. The customer’s opinion may be created from that initial call. The call will leave some type of impression on the caller, whether it is positive or negative.

Companies hire mystery shopping companies because they want to be sure that initial contact will produce a positive long lasting interaction with a potential customer. The stakeholders are the people who answer the call. They should provide a professional, cordial, caring, and warm interaction with the caller.

With that being said, mystery shopping companies are looking for mystery shoppers to perform calls to various companies. The mystery shopper will be given the scenario to perform during the call. The duty of the mystery shopper is to perform the call in a covert fashion. They will be given a survey to fill out at the end of the call as if it was a visit mystery shop.

The main drawback to these types of calls is that some of them do not pay that much in compensation. Some calls pay as little as $2. However, if you get consistent calls the money does add up. The positive side is that these calls are done at home. I find that having an extra line or another number will allow you to have a number for call backs that will not compromise your personal line. (Editor’s note: Google Voice can also be very useful in this regard.)

    I have done them in the past usually to add to a check I am already getting from a different shop for that client, however sometimes the follow up etc becomes more to keep up with than a physical shop. If it pays $2 I expect it to take extremely little input-but that does not seem to get through!

  2. Cheryl Darcel says:

    You are absolutely right. Sometimes after you have done the shop you discover that it was not quite worth it. One of the downfalls. However, there are some good ones out there. You have to pick and choose. Sign up with as many companies as you can.

  3. Faye Colando says:

    When you click a link for most of these companies above, do NOT show you how to sign up to be a mystery shopper for them. Do you have any LINKS that will let you sign up directly as a mystery shopper for these companies?

    Please respond.

    In the article Intellishop is spelled incorrectly… 2 l’s in the name. I’ve done lots of phone shops for them. Their reporting is not too demanding. However, I have noticed that their pay has been dropping for the same phone shope for the same companies. Unfortunate. At some point it’s just not worth the effort.

    • Cheryl Smith says:

      Hi BJ
      Thanks for reading my article. I did not mention Intellishop in this article.
      I mentioned InteliChek because they only offer phone shops.

  5. Brenda Roseboro says:

    I’ve done many for Cirrus and IntelliShop. For the ones that are $4- $5, I just do the ones that do not require a target or just to know if they called back but no narrative. Then they can be worth it.

  6. Terry Briggs says:

    I would like to know how I can sign up for the call from home mystery shops?

  7. Anita Engel says:

    Sounds good

  8. Sandra J Sheppard says:

    When I click on the link for Cirus, it does not work.

    Intelchek goes to a blank page.

    Please advise; thanks.

    I cannot believe it has been 2 years since this information has been provided. We are in 2021. If you are ready this, it means you have survived 2020,The Pandemic. Since the pandemic phone shops, Facetime and Zoom has become popular in the Mystery Shopping industry. Phone calls are essential because people are not going out store to store. The store is the first contact for retailers. That is where mystery shopping comes in. People want to be sure customers are getting the best customer service on the phone. There are several companies that are loaded with phone calls. Some companies pay well. Research and find out about the companies that are popular or shoot me an email.
