Do we all need a wake-up call?
The State of the Nations 2001 report from the Centre for Independent Studies said:

A massive escalation of violent crimes A massive escalation of violent crimes such as murder, manslaughter, rape, serious assault and suicide since the early eighties;

Rates of assault were 40 times higher in 2000 than in 1964 Rates of assault were 40 times higher in 2005 than in 1974;

Over 45,000 violent robberies reported everyday around Australia Over 45,000 violent robberies reported everyday around Australia;

28,000 missing persons recorded each year 30,000 missing persons recorded each year;

35% of employees believe their workplace is harming their health 35% of employees believe their workplace is harming their health;

50% of employees report having one or more safety hazards 50% of employees report having one or more safety hazards, 57% of blue collar workers, 28% CEO's, and 44% of government workers believe their health is affected by their workplace;

Worplace stress costs $1.2 billion a year Workplace stress costs $1.2 billion a year, with stress related illness in the public service and private enterprise doubling since 1990 and is growing at a rate of 20% a year.

Can we afford to ignore these figures? Is that enough to say, “what am I doing to protect my community and workplace”.

Suzanne's years of experience in business resulted in establishing a program to solve workplace problems, discover the facts that create stress in the workplace, improve self esteem, encourage higher productivity, resolve conflict, lower sick days and teach individuals how to protect themselves in today’s society. The personal session covers areas of empowerment and change, personal protection and taking action to make your world a safer place.

With the changing events around the world in the past 18 months, eg; Sept 11, Bali, War and SARS etc, it is imperative we all learn how to become our own private investigator, and be constantly aware of what is happening around us. In each workshop, many skills are taught that were used in my days as an investigator, like being more community conscious, keeping an eye on our teenagers, unlocking your own personal power, becoming an ‘all-round well- balanced’ person, creating a safer world in which to live and improving workplace morale so you can be a valuable employee/employer.

"Mystery Shoppers" are Keeping an Eye on the Community

Have you ever experienced the poor service in a restaurant? Ever received a cold meal? Been on the end of a staff member’s bad attitude? Seen cockroaches in a child’s play pen in a child-minding centre? Witnessed a staff member cleaning a food cupboard filled with delicious cream pastries with a chemical spray to clean the glass and spraying the cakes with the spray because she was too lazy to remove the cakes first? Found something foreign in your food, but didn’t complain, just didn’t go back to that store again?

Sherlock Consultancy Services staff and trainers believe that for any business to be successful, it must maintain customer satisfaction. Every business is in business to create a customer, not a casual purchaser of their product or service. For example, if every potential purchaser of a hamburger went to McDonalds only once in their lives, McDonalds would go broke. In fact repeat business is the key to success and only 20% of businesses achieve it, or to put it another way 80% have a very short life span. Mystery Shoppers can ensure your business belongs to the former group.

Objectively measuring customer service is a way of measuring not only the 5 percent of unhappy customers who actually register a complaint, but also keeping in touch with the more significant 95 percent who simply do not return to that business.

A Sherlock Mystery Shopper is more than someone who likes shopping for themselves. He or she is a professional, with skill, training and dedication to the cause of "Creating a Customer who keeps coming back".

Mystery Shoppers must be able to:

       1. Follow written instructions,
       2. Be observant and have a good eye for detail,
       3.Remember what is being said to them during an interview.

They must also be able to communicate clearly in writing, use good spelling and grammar, write legibly and neatly and approach each assignment with an unbiased open mind.    Mystery Shoppers and Loss Prevention Officers are trained to "shop" in areas such as banks, employment bureaus, adventure parks, hospitality industry, motor dealers, retail outlets, child care centres, motels/hotels. Etc. Any place that offers a service to the public requires the professional services of a Mystery Shopper

It is a well known fact that 90% of customers won’t complain about bad service, unclean and untidy premises, & poor presentation skills. A "Mystery Shopper" highlights strengths and weaknesses of staff and premises in the workplace, to be followed by suggested changes. This profession is very much in demand overseas and has been operating on a smaller scale in Australia for several years. The misconception many people have is that all you need to do is go shopping, spot a few negative customer service skills, write a few notes and that’s it.

In a country that is fast becoming one of the leaders of litigation, the Mystery Shopper and Loss Prevention Officer needs to be highly trained by experienced professionals. They act as a barometer measuring how well an organization meets the needs of its consumers.

Mystery Shopping is a huge industry that is not only sweeping USA but is now becoming very much in demand in Australia. To be good, you have to have the best training and "Sherlock Consultancy Services Trainers" can help you. For a booking phone 0418 873101.
