Jessyca's Report on the
QSI Specialists Mystery Shopping Seminar at Sea

The first annual mystery shopping seminar at sea can be described as nothing less than a huge success! Those shoppers who were fortunate enough to attend all had a wonderful time being able to meet the schedulers they had only conversed with through e-mail and telephone.

They were also given the opportunity to ask questions in person and hopefully gain a better understanding of the process the schedulers go through when assigning shops. Although the training mostly consisted of an overview of the basics of mystery shopping, all the shoppers I talked to said they walked away having learned something they had not fully understood before, and were grateful for the training.

The seminar however, was not all business. Many shoppers were able to make new friends from fellow shoppers they met during the cruise. They were able to let loose with the schedulers and have a good time rather than only talking with them about shops. Afterward all the shoppers were discussing the cruise for next year and where they wanted to go, having had such a good time on the first one.

It was a pleasure to be able to meet the people we work with on a day to day basis and to be able to do so in a setting that is not only conducive to learning, but is also conducive to building relationships that are based not only on business but on a personal level as well.
