Why Mystery Shop...Call Back...Survey?

Mystery Shop?  Mystery shopping is an anonymous evaluation of the customer experience at your business and provides an objective, fact-based snapshot of that experience. The majority of the most well-known and highly-respected brands in the world use mystery shopping, including restaurants, retail stores, banks/financial institutions, health care providers and grocery stores.  As the focus on customer service increases, the need for these kinds of evaluations of your business increase as well.

 

Call-Back?  Although there are many ways to evaluate customer satisfaction, loyalty, and overall experiences, the telephone gets directly to the voice of your customer. It’s a personal interaction that generates the highest level of quantitative and qualitative customer relationship information in a timely manner. Call-back programs allow you to proactively reach out to your customer base to gather information about specific products, events, or experiences -  providing the opportunity to have a true conversation with people about their opinions and perceptions of your business or organization.
 

Survey?   Knowing what your customers or members truly think is critical to retaining them – and keeping your profits, membership base, or other significant elements of your organizations. While companies sometimes invest heavily in sales and customer service, too often they cut corners and leave the very important task of understanding what will create loyal, happy customers to an insufficient or informal information collection process - or no process at all. By identifying the needs, wants, and expectations of your customers, your business is able to maximize customer satisfaction and retention. Well crafted and implemented surveys will arm your company or organization with valuable information needed to ensure your hard-earned customers or loyal members do not go elsewhere.

 

A well designed Customer Relationship Management (CRM) program is best used as an objective, honest assessment of the customer experiences, perceptions, and opinions.  If successfully executed, programs will:

• Provide insightful perspective into your customers' experiences

• Identify aspects of these experiences and relationships that are most important to your customers

• Monitor your customers' satisfaction and loyalty over time

• Link that customer satisfaction and loyalty to your company's bottom line

These programs can also identify areas of training that are working particularly well for your business and which areas may need improvement.

 

Mystery shopping is a vital part of a CRM program for any business where service and customer satisfaction are a primary part of the value proposition.  Call-Back Programs and Surveys are also significant components of CRM.  .  A balanced approach using all of the components gives the best results.  Each service measures the performance of a business, but also dynamically measures each other.
