Mystery Audit

Mystery Audit or Mystery Shopping is the process of reviewing a product or a place, like bank, commercial store, retail mall, hotel, restaurant, etc., by posing as a consumer or a customer. Mystery audit is conducted by companies to measure the quality of service, or compliance with regulation, or to gather specific information about their offerings.

1. Helps you improve customer service

Mystery Shopping program lets you determine which locations have current nonadherence or can have possible problems in future.  We provide feedback on how to improve customer service there. Possible service problems are examined, reported, and corrected before they affect sales.

 

2. Helps you to excel Sales Representative behavior

Without the opinion of mystery client, you can never have insight whether the store employee is unknowingly encouraging the customers to buy from competitors who may have better quality or lower prices. The authentic interaction between the Mystery Shopper and the staff can be objectively evaluated and compared with other locations with the same criteria. The mystery shopping program eliminates the variable that causes an oblique result.

3. Increase in Consistency

The Mystery Shopping program ensures that all the benchmark is met, and it also monitors the consistency between locations. For Example: If a customer receives excellent service in one of the stores, he should receive the same level of service in other stores. However, this is not the reality of retail trade or any industry of goods and services; the quality varies.
In order to provide excellent consistent service to your customer, you need good mystery shopping plan.

4. Improving Morale of Sales Team

A coherent mystery Shopping program will help you hire, train, and maintain contact with employees. The company can initiate rewards and incentives for the best employees. It increases the team morale and promote the idea of employees as brand ambassadors.

5. Effective Monitoring and Measuring Process to Drive Sales

The measurement and monitoring service is the first step towards improving services, which leads to increased sales. You need an anonymous assessor, not internal representatives who are leaning results and a consistent program, so results can have a multi-layered effect. There will always be ups and downs, new competitors, technological changes, etc., Always focus on customer service, because that's what drives sales.
