QDOS – Customer Experience

Do you deliver your promises – consistently?

The performance of individual Team members in the course of interacting with Customers is critical to Customer Satisfaction so not only will our reports highlight the good & the not-so-good in relation to furnishings, food and so on – they will also focus very much on the presentation & interpersonal skills of all Team members encountered during their visit.

Our Shoppers take on the role of typical Guest / Visitor / Customer and will generally merge into the crowd and just go with the flow. However, if you would like them to prompt your Team at all by asking specific questions or even raising a mild complaint or grumble then this kind of behaviour can be included where appropriate. Similarly if you would like to assess your Team’s confidence in providing service to customers with specific needs then we can arrange this for you.

Visits can be partly or fully evidenced by audio/video-recording. Please see Mystery Shopping Overview for further details.
