Why do we charge $5.95 for the Guidebook? Due to independent contractor laws in many states, it is imperative that shoppers attain their own training. Completing MSPA Silver & Gold Certification, and purchasing books, guides, and training materials on Mystery Shopping, all serve to enhance your knowledge and ability in this industry. It also helps preserve your status as an independent contractor who sells your services to Mystery Shopping companies. When we give a shopper a mystery shop to perform, we want to know that the shop will be performed correctly and timely. We want shoppers that are serious about performing shops, and have a good idea of what mystery shopping is all about. We have found that shoppers that take the time to inform themselves about the industry are more dependable and provide a better product for our clients. Shoppers receive vital information to help them further themselves in the business of mystery shopping; not just with Reality Check, but with all mystery shopping companies that they do business with. In doing so, we receive access to shoppers who are knowledgeable and dependable.
