A secret shopping service is a valuable quality assurance service that provides companies feed back from the perspective of a third party regarding the quality of their experience. Their mission is to help a company to be the best they can be. Companies interested in maintaining brand quality find it one of the most effective ways to ensure customers and services are being delivered up to corporate standards outlined in their training.

The process of implementing this program involves in depth training to be successful and valid. The purpose of the relationship is to add valuable insight and synergy to give employees the tools to continually improve their skills and provide customers with the best quality service possible, which directly impacts bottom line profits.  An employee of a secret shopping service is well versed in the program of services being offered by the company and knows what outcomes are expected before beginning their evaluation. They are trained to evaluate the experience by following a well designed outline of expected responses before performing an impromptu visit or telephone inquiry requesting information on the services being offered. The evaluations performed are not based on guess work. They are well thought out deliveries that are not leading or suggestive, but innocent and perceptive, totally reliant on the company employee to fulfill the expectation put forth by their own employer.

A shopping service implements more than one evaluation in their process. For example, when a telephone inquiry is performed, the evaluation of the telephone experience is then constructively critiqued by another employee that checks off what was or was not discussed during the conversation. The outline of this form has been predesigned by the company and service to cover the most salient points the company has to offer in order to present their products and services in the most effective way. The outcome allows evaluators to comment on what the company employee did well and what could work better for them, in order to get the sale or reservation, is added to the written critique in order to improve the quality of the employees responsiveness to get more sales and more reservations.

A third evaluator within the secret shop service then oversees the final evaluation by reviewing the initial conversation along with the evaluators critique with constructive pointers and then prepares the final report for the company to evaluate. In many cases the company incorporates a personal one on one critique with the employee being evaluated. This provides the most valuable tool for the employee to grow and become better at their job. It facilitates a relationship that helps them become better customer service representatives and better sales people. This is the mission of the service. Improving employees delivery skills within the company will improve the company profit levels.

A shopping service will facilitate a successful program that will measure individual and team progress over a period of time. A compilation of employee evaluations are put in an aggregate form to reflect individual and team progress in the program and show increased overall performance success. The better employees become in representing their company the better that company s sales become. Together, they illustrate overall performance directly attributable to increased skills and increased business. The return on investment is in direct correlation to improved employee training.
