D-1/ What is the Mystery Shopping?
Mystery shopping is a tool used externally by market research companies or internally by
companies themselves to measure quality of service or compliance to regulation, or to gather
specific information about products and services.
Mystery shoppers perform specific tasks such as purchasing a product, asking questions,
registering complaints or behaving in a certain way, and then provide detailed reports or
feedback about their experiences.
D-2/ Why do we use Mystery Shopping?
•It gives accurate data and evaluation for employees at the
retail, as they act normally with the mystery shoppers unlike
during audits. So all the values should reflect the actual
customers’ experience.
•It monitors employee compliance with procedures
•Mystery Shopping is considered as a very efficient tool to:
1. Improve customer service
2. Enhance employee sales ability
3. Reward valuable employees
4. Identify training needs
5. Measure the gap between expectations
and the actual delivered performance

2- Floor
Section Description
All terminals
are working
According to the input from work force, only 1 terminal is allowed to be empty in stores having
more than 2 terminals, so we take this terminal as an allowance, in addition to another terminal
in case of big stores "7 terminals" for breaks
If the MS Agent is handled directly, the store takes the full mark, regardless the rush
If the MS Agent stays in the waiting area for a while, he starts to count the empty terminals and
deduct from the scoring
Look and Feel The Q system must be audible calling for the Q-ticket and mentioning the number of the terminal
Store Music Store fixed music playlist should be on
Clean Floor The floor of our stores should be clean, of course in front of the store's door we make a little
allowance, but we focus more in the waiting areas and the rest of the store.
Store Smell The unique smell in our stores should be there, and this gives the full mark in our stores, having
no smell gives another score, and having a bad smell gives an even lower score
Security
Agents
The security agent score is divided into two sections:
1 - Uniform
2 – Placement: the Security Agents should be placed in certain positions that expose the whole
display; the security agent shouldn't be working as a greeter or smoking in front of the store, or
talking with other agents.

Propose something less attractive; Sometimes you need a slow-
moving product because it helps establish a price point.. This is
often called a Decoy Product
Introduce a product that makes your standard model look like a
better deal consider a product at a similar price but with fewer
features or lower specifications
5- Show them there’s no risk
Assure them they're making the right decision,
and risk nothing by taking you up on your offer,
but way is Risky, you can’t use it too much to avoid
your product return But it’s a still a way to build the
rapport with our customer and grantee they trust
