Customized Training Programmes

Mystery Shopping is a valuable research tool that allows companies to measure the quality of their service, as seen through the eyes of Mystery Shoppers who act as "real customers", evaluating the store, interacting with the staff and completing an on-line report. Trained mystery shoppers are sent into a restaurant, hotel, supermarket, or any type of retail store to evaluate their experience as a paying customer. Mystery shopping is not a spying mechanism, but an effective tool that allows managers to recognise weaknesses/strengths, take appropriate action, acknowledge or reward consistent good performance, and improve the quality and performance of goods and services.

Benefits of Mystery Shopping:

  • Effective ongoing monitoring of customer service levels within the organisation.
  • Fostering a strong awareness of the importance of customer service in your organisation.
  • Motivating your staff to provide a consistently high quality of service.
  • Opportunity to ensure that overall organisational standards and customer service policies are being adhered to.
  • Ability to identify any potential flaws or weaknesses in your current organisational setup.
  • A better understanding of the perceptions you are fostering amongst your customer base.

We conduct several types of mystery shopping:

  • Mystery Visit with focus on the location, facilities, infrastructure, sales staff and interaction with the shopper.
  • Video Mystery Shop - visit that is captured on a concealed recording device.
  • Audio Mystery Shop - visit that is recorded using a miniature concealed microphone.
  • Mystery Phone Call - phone call (usually recorded) focusing on response times and the service received.
  • Accompanied Mystery Shop - visit accompanied by a researcher who observes the shoppers behavior.
