It’s hard to see the results as we shoppers rarely get feedback.

it’s a mystery our shop but also the impact we make. Being anonymous is part and parcel of this work but often we need feel what we did was helpful beyond the 10 rating for a good evaluation.

I have never done a scouting so I can not say, but it did happen in a Good Will that I was taking photos and the Mgr came over and told me I could not. I told her that I was a personal shopper and that I had many clients for whom I style and require them to approve a look.

That shut them up quick enough.

Try playing a part, saying you are researching for a brand start up, or you are showing your customer which is the brand she prefers, and add that your clients are soooo picky... This is an acting job!
