Frequently Asked Questions
Can I legally “spy” on my people without
their knowledge?
Yes. But the use of the video can be restricted depending on which state you are in. Contact us to get the exact ruling in your particular state. We recommend getting each person to sign a release allowing both the shop and use of the video.
Wouldn’t letting the people know in advance about the mystery shop defeat the purpose?
No. If your people know they are going to be shopped, how do you think they will be with customers? Probably the way you want them to be.
You can use the mystery shop however you wish. You could use it as an incentive. If they get shopped and perform well, they will be rewarded.
Wouldn’t your sales improve if every customer were treated like a mystery shopper?
How many of my people can be shopped?
As many or as few as you like--we will send different
shoppers in as many times as you wish Contact us for individual quotes.
Can I target an individual person to be video shopped?
Absolutely—we can set that up in various ways—either by telephone at first or by asking for that person by name by way of a referral from a third party.
How can I get a Manager recorded so I can see the input he has, but without causing embarrassment?
