Secret shoppers provide an unbiased perspective of how well an organization is meeting its customer service and training objectives. The shopper assumes the role of a customer and conducts evaluations based on the agreed criteria. Our shoppers are experienced, proven and reliable. Not relying on third-party schedulers, Imaginus shoppers are trained by Imaginus' staff of professional trainers. We maintain a higher staff level than our competition to provide immediate back-up, cover every day/time and shopper demographics need, and allow constant rotation to maintain anonymity. Our management staff is cross-functional and able to cover any contingency or client need. Each shopper is trained by Imaginus to observe and evaluate in an unbiased, objective, and thorough manner. Each evaluation is reviewed by an Imaginus supervisor prior to submission to ensure the highest quality and appropriate level of detail. Depending on your specific needs, Imaginus evaluates from a variety of perspectives, including:
The Individual Service Provider - attentiveness, attitude, appearance, image, competence, product/store knowledge, selling/ presentation skills, problem solving, vendor representatives
