What It�s About

Secret shoppers excel at catching your people doing something� right. Catching them keeping to standards. Catching reservations people reminding business travelers about the new flat-screen TVs and the remodeled workout room. Catching group sales people waxing enthusiastic about the catering chef and the Tiki room decorations. 

If you already use a mystery shopping service, you�ll learn new ways to make it more effective. (Ever consider using it to check out competitors or job candidates?) If you�ve never used mystery shopping and wondered about how it all works, this is your chance. 

You�ll get the nuts and bolts of it, hear the effect of it, and have the chance to answer all your questions about it in this quick half-hour Webinar.
