Associate Auditor Assignments
In this section, you’ll be introduced to the major market research companies that pay Americans, just like you, to do evaluation audits of businesses.
With 130 + companies to choose from, you’ve got great variety and ample opportunity to keep busy for a long time to come.
Simply contact any of our approved companies by visiting their websites and register online for assignments. Each of these companies operates differently so just read any instructions while getting signed up.
To contact the companies – simply click on any of the company names that are listed under our work resources and a new window will open up – taking you directly to that company’s website – where you can apply with them for
audit assignments.
We can’t stress enough that you can apply to any market research company regardless of where they are located. Just because a market research company might not be located in your particular area, this does not mean that there is no work where you live.
Most of our market research companies have clients in all towns and regions of the country and will hire auditors wherever their clients need shops to be done. The market research companies listed in this resource offer auditing assignments in all regions and have shops nationwide.
For example, you could live in Miami, Florida and get plenty of shops from a market research company based in Chicago, Illinois.
So again, the location of the market research company does not matter. What does matter is the location of their clients’ businesses (the stores and services that you will be auditing).
It’s in your best interest to apply to as many companies as you possibly can. The more companies you apply to – the more audits you can get!
Applying to Companies
When you apply to any of the market research companies look for information about “Auditors” or Mystery Shoppers” on their website to guide you to the correct place to get set up.
Most companies want the same basic information. They will, of course, want to know your name, e-mail address and phone number. They may want to know if you have worked as a mystery shopper or field auditor before (your work experience). They may want to know what areas or towns you are willing to audit in and they may want to know if you are willing to accept last minute audits. Often you are asked to tell of a memorable shopping experience or they may want to know why you think you would make a good auditor. Be prepared to have this information available.
Since each of these businesses is different, you can’t expect to get the same amount of money for each assignment that you may go on. If you got paid $15 to shop for a half hour from one company – that does not mean that the next company will pay you that same amount. Some of these companies will allow you to get additional free merchandise when you shop. That depends on which store you’ll be shopping at and what terms you have agreed to before your audit.
Keep in mind that these companies really need you as much as you need them. If you don’t hear back from a company right away, they will of course, keep your name on file until needed. Associate Auditing is not a 9 to 5 job.
On a given day you might get your hair styled, get an oil change for your car, and enjoy a tasty meal at a great restaurant. There also may be days or a week that you do not do any auditing at all. We cannot make a claim for the number of assignments you will go on in any given time period. It all depends on the availability of stores to audit at in your local area, as well as if you are willing to travel and what times you are available to audit.
Persistent and Patience
When applying for shopping work, you have to be persistent and patient.
After you have registered with our listed market research companies, it may take a little while to get things in motion before you start receiving your shopping invitations at first but just stick with it. Contact fifty of our listed market research companies and you’ll get those assignments!
SPECIAL NOTE: After you have done your first shop, you will be considered an experienced mystery shopper and that can always get you more shops with other companies.
Don’t get discouraged if you don’t meet your financial goals the first week. Everything takes time. Stick with it and enjoy your Field Associate Auditing!
