Frequently Asked Questions
What is telephone mystery shopping?
Telephone mystery shopping is a quality assurance method where trained evaluators, or "mystery shoppers," pose as real customers and call a business to evaluate the customer experience. They assess specific criteria such as professionalism, product knowledge, adherence to scripts, and overall service quality, providing businesses with unbiased, actionable feedback.
How is this different from recording our own calls?
While internal call recording is useful for reviewing conversations, mystery shopping provides an objective, third-party perspective. Our shoppers evaluate the experience against a standardized, expert-designed scorecard without internal biases. This provides a clear benchmark of performance and uncovers issues that internal teams might overlook.

Virtually any industry with a call center or phone-based customer interaction can benefit. This includes banking and financial services, automotive sales, restaurants, retail, healthcare, hospitality, and B2B services. If your business relies on phone calls for sales or customer support, this service can provide invaluable insights.
How are your telephone shoppers trained?
Our evaluators undergo rigorous training on your specific business objectives, brand standards, and the scenarios they will be testing.

This ensures the feedback you receive is consistent, reliable, and truly reflects the customer experience.
