It is a tool that helps you understand what it is like to interact with your company from the customer perspective. Unlike surveys, a trained mystery shopper go in looking for certain things and make detailed observations as the experience unfolds.

The mystery shopper’s experience applied to your company’s needs gives you a custom program that zeroes in on the areas that will be of most benefit to your organization.

  • The date and time of the pre-visit phone call
  • The name of the store on each side of the store visited
  • Number of employees in the store on entering
  • How long it takes before the mystery shopper is greeted

  • If or how the employee attempted to close the sale
