Telephone Mystery Shopping Overview
We love telephone mystery shopping here at Oculus because we feel it provides your learners with the opportunity to make changes within your organization. That is why we don't call them mystery shops, but "opportunity calls".
During a telephone mystery shop, a caller (also called secret shopper) will call your location and present a pre-set scenario to your team members. The call is recorded for coaching purposes. When the call is completed, the recording is sent to an Oculus Coach who will evaluate the performance of the skills you require, tone of the call, and provide valuable coaching tips and tricks.
Finally, the results are sent to your inbox and available within our web-based reporting system for further analysis.
