What Is ‘Mystery Shopper'?"

Mystery shoppers are people who visit businesses posing as customers, evaluate the service they receive, and complete an evaluation form. Business owners and managers use these reports to ensure their employees are practicing good selling techniques and providing quality service to their customers.

The Training Factor contracts with certified individuals to pose as potential rental prospects looking for an apartment. The purpose of a mystery shopper is to evaluate the sales performance of apartment personnel with an objective mindset. Your objective is to create the optimum environment for the apartment representative and articulate your findings in a written format.

This can be completed in the form of an on-site visit, video recorded on-site visit, or recorded telephone conversation.
