TELEPHONE MYSTERY SHOPPING

Most employees are not properly trained to capture potential business opportunities over the phone. Instead, they simply answer the caller’s questions and fail to ever take control of the conversation.

The Brandt Group Telephone Mystery Shopping Service helps you measure and improve the sales and customer service your staff provides. It is our experience that most employees are not properly trained to capture potential customer inquiries. Generally employees just answer question from the caller and never really take control of the conversation.

DOES YOUR STAFF SAY THE RIGHT THINGS TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS?

We help you coach your team to take control of their conversations, to determine customers’ needs, to discuss potential solutions, and to invite those customers to visit your business to make purchases.

We have a fantastic team of professional mystery phone shoppers who will call your business with scenarios that are specific to your business.
