Pied Piper PSI(R) | Omnichannel Fact-Based Mystery Shopping(R)
How can you turn more shoppers into buyers, and improve service customer loyalty?
The Prospect Satisfaction Index® (PSI®) process applies data science analytics to determine the sales and service best practices most likely to drive purchase and loyalty. PSI then uses a combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning and human actors to measure and report how effectively retail locations follow those best practices.
Brands, manufacturers, national retailer groups and individual retailers hire Pied Piper to measure and report whether those fact-based best practices are followed, to help improve omnichannel sales & service effectiveness.
Omnichannel selling requires having an effective and easy to use shopping path as the customer moves from corporate website (or third-party locations like social media) to the retailer website or retailer telephone, to the retailer in-person, and then possibly home again and back onto the websites or phones before committing to buy either online or back at the retailer in-person.
Pied Piper is the inventor of omnichannel fact-based mystery shopping®, and conducts anonymous "mystery shop" evaluations - digitally, by phone or in-person. PSI clients learn not only how effectively their own brands and retailers perform, but also how that performance compares to others within their industry, as well as to other industries.

Why order Internet Sales Mystery Shopping?Pied Piper acts just like a customer to ensure that a retailer’s digital communication process is working from start to finish. This includes both people processes, to make sure the retailer’s employees are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and also digital processes; including those processes outside of your control, such as Google or Yahoo automatically flagging your emails as spam. Clients who order PSI internet sales mystery shops receive a report which shows a customer’s inquiry to the retailer’s website, as well as the retailer’s response. In total, Pied Piper measures 20 different behaviors, including whether the retailer attempted to communicate with the customer by email, phone call, text message or chat. |
