Customer Experience

We conduct Customer Service and Experience Studies that catalogue the shopping experience your customer is actually experiencing today and compare the results to industry best-in-class. The customer journey study process gathers data on customers from the entry into your operation, while shopping, during service and through to exit. We note the service and experience triggers that yield optimal results for conversion, increased basket size, and higher sales.
Using these results, we can reallocate labor to maximise labor productivity and develop tailored employee training programs to coach on the best sales-driving behaviours. Understanding the customer experience is only half the story. Find out how team members are spending their time, how they’re interacting with customers and ways to improve both. Most importantly, learn how store team behaviours impact time in-store, conversion rates, and units per transaction.
In non-retail industries, we apply a similar technique that documents labor efforts to serve patients or perform tasks to make improvements in services industries, such as healthcare, or in non-customer facing industries such as manufacturing and distribution.
