The methodology

The reliability of the report
begins before the visit.

A context-appropriate checklist, well-trained assessors and a 100 per cent review of completed checklists prior to analysis: this is how observations are turned into actionable insights.

  1. Shared objectives

    We work with management to define which aspects to observe, which locations or channels to include, and which decisions should be informed by the results.

  2. Selection and preparation

    We identify assessors who match the required profile and train them on the scenarios, timelines and evidence to be gathered.

  3. 100% review of the checklists

    The staff review each completed checklist, checking for completeness and consistency in the responses and evidence gathered. Any doubts are clarified before approval and analysis.

A mystery shopping agency that supports decision-making.

Are your brand standards applied consistently across all branches? Do staff understand the request before proposing a solution? Is the information received online confirmed at the point of sale? A mystery shopping project begins with the questions the company wishes to answer.

Mystery Man®, a brand of Qualore S.r.l., organises on-site and remote assessments for companies and organisations throughout Italy: prepared scenarios, observation criteria and checklist verification. The results help those coordinating the service to identify behaviours to reinforce and areas for improvement.

What does a mystery shopping agency do for a company?

It works with management to define what to observe, selects and trains the mystery shoppers, coordinates the visits and reviews the evidence gathered. The project links the customer experience to verifiable questions and produces a report that can be used to inform decisions on service, the network and training. Discover the design and monitoring method, along with examples of how results are presented.

How do you choose between mystery shopping agencies?

Clarify your objectives and compare how scenarios are prepared, investigators are trained and checklists are reviewed. Ask what comparisons will be possible and what deliverables you will receive: a visit form, a dashboard and an analysis report each meet different needs.

Which project is right for your organisation?

You can evaluate a venue, compare a network or follow an approach that combines digital interaction with an on-site visit. Explore mystery client services for shops and franchises, mystery guest services for hotels and restaurants, and online mystery shopping.

To draw up a proposal, it is helpful to specify the sector, locations, channels, timeframe and objectives. Compare mystery shopping services for businesses and tell us which decision you wish to support.
