Mystery Shopping

Consumers expect more today from their financial institution. They want to deal with knowledgeable employees who take ownership and do more than handle transactions. They want to have their needs recognized and possible solutions presented. They want to walk into a branch that is professionally merchandised and ready for business. They want 24/7 access through email, online services and fast responses. And they know they have many choices when it comes to financial services. How can financial institutions compete to be that provider of choice? By setting standards for quality service and then measuring the results from their accountholders’ perspective.

What is mystery shopping? It is a program that employs professionally trained people, known as shoppers, who conduct in-person, telephone and website evaluations of a client’s service through predetermined, customized scenarios.

Harland Clarke’s Mystery Shopping Program provides clients with both quality service evaluations and extensive reporting. Through a positive approach to quality service measurement, the program is designed to recognize employee’s strengths and identify development areas. Harland Clarke’s program provides:

    • A baseline analysis of current skill sets among designated employee groups

    • Ongoing service evaluations to measure improvements and provide specific information to the management team to support coaching efforts
