Mystery Shopping Measures To Holistically Improve Business Performance

By measuring the right things you can analyse, develop, motivate, inspire and achieve substantial improvements. Measure the wrong things and all advantages may be lost.
Measurements should be simple. If they require a lot of explanation and definition, then collecting data and translating that data into actions becomes less powerful and possibly a waste of time and money.


If you measure what you do, your team can evaluate alternative approaches to be more effective (doing the right things) and efficient (doing things right).

Sharing the measurement information is essential; this gives the team feedback and focus. After all "What you can measure you can manage" and "What gets measured gets done".

Those businesses that succeed and make money constantly assess themselves and improve in all dimensions of their offer, it's essential when defining measures that the mystery shopping criteria is Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Timely
