If you want to convert visitors into buyers and improve your ROI, consider customer service software for your online business.Poor customer service in Zimbabwean companies remains a cause for concern. There are some companies that pride themselves on good customer service and really go out of their way to make sure their customers are well served. However, there are other companies that don't seem to make an effort or even bother with customer service or the lack of it. It is interesting to see how some companies ignorantly believe that their employees' customer service skills are "good" or "great", but when you interact with their frontline employees, you are horrified by the poor customer service.
This information gap is usually caused by inefficient methods of monitoring customer service levels and gathering customer feedback. Many front-line employees behave very well in the presence of superiors; but once their superiors leave, they revert to their usual behavior. Employers can learn a lot by conducting a mystery shopping exercise and using it to gain feedback on actual customer service practices in their organizations.
Mystery shopping is a tool used to measure service quality and adherence to customer service practices. The identity and purpose of the mystery shopper is unknown to the employees being evaluated, and the employees themselves are not aware that they are being evaluated. Mystery shoppers perform specific tasks, such as purchasing a product, asking questions, or registering complaints, while observing employee reactions. Detailed notes on observations and experiences are then drawn up and presented to management.
Mystery shopping can be done physically - as a visitor or over the phone. If this is done over the phone, the mystery shopper will call your office and ask for a specific service. As with physical mystery shopping, the consultant intentionally asks a series of questions to test your employees' customer service skills.
The main benefit of using mystery shopping is that you get to know the state of your organization's customer service first hand. It is best to receive unedited notes and voice recordings from the mystery shopping exercise to really see what is going on in your company.
Mystery Shopping helps you understand and satisfy your customers with greater precision. Organizations often assume they know what customers want and don't bother to find out. They then develop solutions based on these assumptions and are very surprised when the solutions don't work! Customer service interventions should be evidence-based. If they're not evidence-based, you're wasting your time. When you have feedback from the mystery shopping exercise, you will know better what exactly to fix in your company.
I usually recommend that companies do a mystery shopping exercise before and after every customer service training session. This will ensure that your training is evidence-based and focused on where the customer service challenges and opportunities really are.
Mystery shopping can be done internally or externally by involving customer service professionals. However, research has shown that involving external people increases your chances of getting an unbiased view of your organization's overall performance. Buyers should be well trained and able to communicate objectively with your staff to provide you with reliable information. In all cases, exercise should be done discreetly. The fact that there is no prior knowledge of the mystery shopping exercise also ensures that your employees behave naturally.
Finally, managers need to know that mystery shopping is not an exercise in witch hunting. Furthermore, the results of mystery shopping should not be used to fire employees - this is legally inadmissible. Instead, mystery shopping should help you focus on training, developing better customer service policies and products, all with the goal of increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty.
