What is Mystery Shopping?

How often does a customer receive exceptional service from your staff?
How often does a customer receive poor service and vow never to return?
Are the customers greeted? Thanked?
Do your employees know how to sell? Up-sell? Cross-sell? Suggest?
Are receipts given on cash sales?
Do you really know how your customers perceive your business?

Many owners and managers are surprised when they learn the answers.

Results don’t happen by accident. Companies that create consistently exceptional customer experiences do not succeed because they always hire better employees or offer better products at lower prices; they succeed because they build carefully aligned systems that everyone in the organization uses to measure, manage and improve the customer experience.

When aligned properly with other measurement and management tools, mystery shop results can reliably predict customer satisfaction and future sales.
