Several Ways To Secret Shop

    Secret shop can be conducted in many different forms.  It is possible to secret shop over the phone or you can even conduct a secret shop which is better known as a mystery shop in person.  Either one of these ways are effective in acquiring a valuable report of how the store is doing overall.  If the choice was up to me I would chose to do an in person type of mystery shop instead of over the phone secret shop.  This way the facial expression can be read as well as the body language of the sale person.  It is also easier to see the cleanliness of the facility that you are shopping.  The phrase that seeing is believing is very critical when conducting a mystery shop in person. Presentation is the key in the ability to persuade a person to purchase an item from your store rather than the local competitors’ store. People are more apt to rent or purchase items from a facility or store that is clean and looks nice.  This is hard to interpret whether the facility is clean and tidy if you are conducting a secret shop over the phone.  When a mystery shop is done in person it helps to see how well the employee interacts and assists customers.  Does the salesperson offer other services such as boxes, or truck rental?  Does the manager offer a shirt to accessorize that new pair of shorts that were purchased?  Mystery or secret shop is not only done in the self storage industry but in all industries, the shop is usually customized to meet the varying needs of different businesses.
