The Six Pillars of Customer Service
Customer Service Skills
Do staff ‘go the extra mile’? Is the opportunity taken to make the customer’s day more pleasant and to encourage them to return? A smile can make all the difference.
Operational Procedures
Are processes followed? Whether till disciplines, product wrapping, building customer databases, or use of loyalty cards, there are a range of activities which can be used to build business if followed.
Promotional Support
Do staff use promotional activity and POS actively, using the marketing spend to build sales and loyalty?
Sales Skills
How well staff follow their training, whether they actively seek trade or passively wait for customers to buy.
Security Compliance
From evidence of sweethearting, to incorrect use of the till, cash and receipt handling and refunding, all can contribute to shrinkage and lost profits. All can be detected by mystery Shoppers.
Merchandising Support
Are products displayed correctly, and correctly priced? Is POS up to date and correctly displayed?
How well is your frontline really performing?
Whenever customers come into contact with your frontline team – whether face-to-face, by telephone or website – there is an opportunity to cement a customer relationship, or to destroy it. Business owners and senior managers hope that their staff are following procedures and service training, but cannot be there to oversee them all the time. Customer Feedback has a role to play but an independent, objective view on actual performance can be so much more powerful. A high quality Mystery Shopping Programme will assist organisations in gaining a clearer understanding of their customer experience, and how to action plan for improvement.
Mystery Shopping can add value to any business that involves interaction with customers, regardless of sector and channel. It can be used to investigate a wide range of disciplines at both an operational and strategic level, to measure the success of training programmes, sales/marketing initiatives or as a constant temperature check of the end-to-end customer experience. No other research methodology can claim to offer objective feedback on performance at every level of an organisation, or to have the potential to add value across so many key support functions.
