OUR METHODOLOGY

Happiness Works™

At Proinsight, we like to do things differently. We bring the human touch to everything we do. We keep things relational. We focus on the positives, not just the negatives.

Then we add big data and AI technology in the mix – giving our clients a near real-time picture of the customer experience, how they feel about it, and how to improve it.

‍We call this Happiness Works™.

OUR ETHOS

Taking the positive approach

It’s easy to assume mystery shopping is there to catch people out, to make staff feel about getting things wrong. We see it differently.

For us, mystery shopping is as much about where things are going well – where customers are happy – as where they could be going better.

We keep things positive for staff, because when it comes to improving customer service, we find the carrot works better than the stick.

HOW IT WORKS

Human insight. Big data. AI analysis.

The best things come in threes – and our mystery shopping methodology is no different. Happiness Works™ is how we ensure our clients have the most powerful insights at their fingertips. It brings together:

The human piece

Researchers and mystery shoppers who know what to look for

The data part

Patterns built from thousands of shops for hundreds of brands

The AI bit

Processing it all, at speed, to uncover where exactly to focus

It’s an approach that goes beyond simple diagnosis. It's focused on finding answers to the importabt questions, like:
“What changes will have the biggest impact?”

Emotion Impact Index™

Emotions determine what customers will do next. Yet most mystery shopping stops at "did staff follow the process?"
