Tern Consultancy provides you with practical solutions to help you train, develop, motivate and reward your front line staff. We specialise in mystery shopping programmes for retailers and service providers and work hard to ensure that your project is managed with the utmost care and that each and every mystery shopping report is an informative and professional document.
Over the past 17 years, we at Tern Consultancy have developed and refined our portfolio of services and these now include; written mystery shopping, video mystery shopping, recorded telephone mystery shopping and web based reporting (for distribution and analysis of all results). All these services are delivered with full UK and European coverage.
Whether we are working with a multi-national high street retailer, a hotel/leisure group or a young embryonic company, our promise is always the same:
It is our philosophy to focus on meeting the client's needs rather than constantly trying to explore what other product or service we might be able to sell. We believe that a good programme sells itself and the best business for us is repeat business.
We generally take a down to earth approach and in place of 'management speak' we hope you will find this site provides honest and useful content whether you are an existing client, a potential client or someone who is interested in joining our team.
Written reporting is of value when the staff who read the reports can trust the findings. It is this simple fact that drives us away from the 'tick list' style reporting favoured by many of the volume operators.
Our telephone mystery shopping compliments our core business of walk-in visits and is generally used by our clients who are multi-channel retailers or service providers. We employ the same team of mystery shoppers who make calls from home and record these as MPG3 files. These files are then uploaded to our on-line reporting system so that you can read the report and hear the recorded call at the same time.
The benefits of video mystery shopping are obvious but before most organisations start to really explore how it could work for them, they get caught up with questions such as 'Is is legal?' 'Is it ethical?' and 'What will the staff think?'
Tern Consultancy implement a Europe wide mystery shopping solution using a multi-language survey with results delivered over the internet.
