Mystery Shopping

How often is your least experienced and lowest paid employee your front-line salesperson who actually meets your customers?
It is important to remember that
This front-line person is ‘Your Business’ in the eyes of your customers.
 

What Happens?

A Mystery Shopper visits your business anonymously, posing as a regular customer and experiences and evaluates a ‘snap-shot’ of the customer service at that time.

The Objective

To evaluate your customer service from a customer's perspective
The objective of our Customer Care Mystery Shopping is to measure and evaluate the quality of customer service and selling skills demonstrated by your salespeople when they are with your customers.

What Areas Does Mystery Shopping Assess?

Mystery shopping provides you with a detailed assessment of your staff’s performance and the variables that affect your customer's experience and satisfaction. It is an objective view of your business through the eyes of your customer and a mechanism to assess the strength of the customer service experience including:

  • Store Layout, Appeal and Promotion Recognition
  • Staff Approach and Greeting
  • Staff Presentation, Attitude and Professionalism
  • Product Knowledge
  • Suggestive Selling Skills and Add-ons
  • Overcoming Objections and Closing the Sale
  • Farewell and Encouragement to Return
  • Telephone Etiquette and Service
  • Customer Loyalty

Mystery Shopping is a Positive Training Tool

You will gain insight into the calibre of your salespeople and understand what they do well. You will be able to recognise and reward your ‘superstars’ by setting a ‘superstar’ benchmark. Our experience indicates this actually increases the service standards of the rest of your salespeople as they are more motivated to provide excellent service and know that any customer is a potential ‘Mystery Shopper’.

An effective Mystery Shopping Programme may uncover performance operational issues, requiring attention before they result in a loss of business or market share.

How well do you know your business?

How often do customers receive exceptional service from your salespeople?
How often does a customer receive such poor service that they will never return?
Do your salespeople approach and greet your customers in a friendly manner?
Do your salespeople actively cross-sell and up-sell?

Mystery Shopping can be an effective way to measure your customer’s experience to answer these kinds of questions.
