Cornerstone Education Group has only been a client of BES for a few months. In that short period of time they have helped us uncover opportunities in our training process as well as giving us direct customer insight, rather than assuming the customer’s perspective. Jennifer, the account manager for our project, is very knowledgeable and more than willing to help. I greatly value the partnership we have developed with BES.Josh BrittonCornerstone Education Group
Carolina Bank can't fix a problem, if we don't know one exists. Business Evaluation Services help us know what we don't know. We want our employees to explain mobile banking benefits, how to utilize the features effectively, and generally walk them through the process. We use Business Evaluation Services data to coach to that type of service.Phil SizemoreSenior Vice PresidentCarolina Bank

It was a pleasure having Business Evaluation Services organize our mystery shops. We learned a lot from the mystery shops and they were responsive to any questions that we had through out the process. I plan on doing mystery shops regularly with Business Evaluation Services. This was our first time doing anything like this and it is a valuable tool for training and growth. Thank you!Shana del CastilloGrowing Room Child Development

When Accountability Information Management, Inc., www.a-i-m.com, a unique research company, was challenged by one of their clients with finding people who purchased a certain product, they realized quickly that there was no one in the two-step distribution business that would provide them or sell them a list of these buyers. “Nor could you send in people to interview consumers in their homes where this product was installed, even if you could find them,” said Jim Nowakowski, President of AIM “Yet, we knew of secret shopper companies, so we hatched out an alternative strategy: tap the secret shoppers themselves for our research. In other words, we would ‘shop the shoppers.’” Nowakowski explains that Business Evaluation Services was the only one of the three shopper companies they vetted that took them up on that strategy (Nowakowski says the others wouldn’t even consider it). It turned out to be the best experience he could have imagined for his client’s project. Nowakowski, working with Carl Phillips, the VP of Sales and Marketing at Business Evaluation Services, put together a very unique approach that tapped the shoppers in the company’s wide shopper audience who owned AIM’s client product. “Not only did the results exceed our expectations,” Nowakowski said after conducting almost 60 interviews with Carl’s shoppers. “When the client changed the scope after the first few interviews, Business Evaluation Services didn’t skip a beat. They created a painless experience for us to satisfy our client’s needs. That’s why for flexibility in the age of COVID-19, Business Evaluation Services would be the one to tap not only for gaining knowledge about products and behaviors in traditional secret shopper mode, but also in hatching unique strategies that help you arrive at the truth around human behavior and products.”Jim NowakowskPresidentAccountability Information Management, Inc
Our goal is to find a way into the heart of every visitor. Business Evaluation Services is a great bad experience prevention tool. I want to prevent bad experiences for our guests. We have a large staff made up of guides, drivers, receptionists, and more. The training for our employees is extensive. The sharing of Business Evaluation Service’s information and how we incorporate mystery shopping into operations is part of our new hire orientation. It helps them understand our standards and how we evaluate employees. Service is number one for us, which is why we use mystery shop our staff.Jamie MillerAttractions GMFair Oaks Farms

It was our great pleasure to have Charles Stiles at our biggest event, with our top customers. This event is our way of showing our appreciation to our customers, and we could not have asked for a better keynote speaker. Charles truly delivered a keynote presentation on “Managing the Customer Experience".

In 2008 when we first started, there was a lot of flexibility in how we did things. But now with 54 owners and growing, it's important to have consistency across our brand nationally. We wanted a way to share our philosophy as well as methods to increase profitability without coming across as punitive with our franchisees. We want them to self-mange to our standards but without sounding parental or nitpicky. The feedback mechanisms available through Business Evaluation Services and the reporting dashboards they have developed enable us to encourage consistency with all of our franchisees.Joel BrennerMarketing Director101 Mobility

Business Evaluation Services makes sure we are not missing the mark when it comes to providing superior customer service. From ensuring we have enough staff on hand to assist our customers to making sure our team on staff is acting according to expectation — we look forward to each chance we get to review a shop report. The shop reports are a valuable teaching tool for new staff members and a good reminder for more seasoned members of our team. In addition, we have gained new customers that started as secret shoppers and have gone on to be longtime customers.Alison SchwartzAll Pets Considered
We have been using Business Evaluation Services for nearly two years. They have done an amazing job tailoring their Mystery Shopper Report to our needs. They visit each of our eight locations, three times per month. We are very pleased with the detailed reporting that we receive in a timely fashion. It is also noteworthy that we were able to customize our reports further as our needs changed. We’ve also been using the internal audit program. This program allows us to conduct an internal audit of our locations. We use this to check prep weights, cook times, to make sure procedures are followed, and to do a sanitation audit to help us prepare for BOH visits. It even allows us to upload photos of problem areas that we can share with our franchises. Because we can conduct the internal audit on a cell phone or an iPad, we are saving so much time.Joe DonnellyNifty Fiftys
