SQM now offers a unique, Brand Standards Inspection Program for the automotive, restaurant, and retail industries, which allow businesses to complete Mystery Shops, without incurring the traditional fees associated with such a service.

Of particular interest, would be the fact that these inspections are completed at no cost to you, other than the expenses (i.e. purchase taxes, gratuities, etc. ).  

There are no inspection fees or travel expenses associated with this program!

The program works as follows:
1.  Each checklist would involve the inspection / evaluation of approximately 25-35 questions.
2.  The client will provide SQM with a maximum number of inspections that they would like completed each month (typically one visit to each location, on a monthly basis).
3.  The client is welcome to blackout any locations or dates from the inspection program, recognizing that the more restrictions that are in place will result in few inspections being completed.
4.  With the exception of any project set-up fees, the only costs will be the expenses and taxes incurred during the course of the inspections (i.e. there will be Mystery Shop inspection fees).
6.  In the event that a request is made to inspect a location on a specific date, our regular fee structure would apply (i.e. approximately $65.00 per visit).

Since there are no inspection fees, clients can complete as many Mystery Shops as they would like:

  •  Monitor brand standards
  • Measure quality and service levels
  • Reduce incidents of cash or liquor control violations
  • Create a more heads up attitude regarding safety and security
  • Assist with risk management
  • Prepare for corporate or government audits
  • Monitor loyalty / rewards programs
  • Increase revenue / sales acquisition
  • Coach and development employees
  • Motivate staff
  • Obtain information for Human Resources
  • Collect historical data

To recap:
1.  Businesses receive valuable feedback, on brand standards, which will help give them a competitive edge in the marketplace.
2.  There are NO FEES for the inspections / evaluations, which allows clients to significantly reduce their costs, while still focussing on quality and service.
3.  SQM is so confident in the value of the program, that clients have the option to cancel inspections / evaluations at any time, with 30 days notice
4.  $5.00 from each completed inspection goes back to the charity of your choice.
