Industries
Retail
You can spend millions on marketing to get your customer in the door, but it’s what happens when they are inside that determines a sale. Product placement, product availability and a knowledgeable sales staff are just a few of the factors that can influence sales.
“Premier Service is your eyes and ears on the ground; monitoring these areas and providing tangible data that you can use to improve your customers’ experience.”
FREE SAMPLE REPORTClothing & Apparel
Apparel sales associates must go beyond the basics of greeting and stocking. They function as fashion experts that can identify current trends and ‘build’ an outfit. We can help you ensure your sales representatives are providing customers with a personalized shopping approach and increasing Units per Transaction.
Convenience & Gas
The key ingredient to a successful convenience store or gas station is the ability to serve customers quickly and efficiently; there is limited time for up-selling or offering in-store promotions. We can help you verify if your sales staff is in high gear.
Furniture & Appliance
Sales associates that can build trust and instill confidence are what can make the difference between customers purchasing in person, rather than going home and shopping online. We can help confirm that your associates possess extensive product knowledge, understand competitive pricing, and can close a sale on the spot.
Automotive Sales & Service
From the first test-drive, to price negotiation and after-sales service, it is important that every touch point with your customer is a positive experience. We can help you ensure your sales and service consultants are fostering brand loyalty.
Service Industry
Do you really know what is happening on the front line of your business? Disguised as regular, everyday customers, our trained mystery shoppers will help you find out. Provide us with your service recipe and we will work with you to develop a survey that measures your key performance indicators.
“There is no better way to understand how your business is operating than by measuring what happens when you are not there. Quite simply, Premier Service is your eyes and ears. ”
FREE SAMPLE REPORTRestaurants
Your customers visit you to get a “better than home” experience. They should offer service that will make your guests feel valued and spoiled. Your servers should make your customers’ mouths water through vivid menu descriptions and recommendations, thereby increasing sales per head. Satisfied and satiated customers are repeat customers.
Hotels
In your business, it is often the smallest service details that make the biggest impact, which differentiate you from your competitors. Keeping these in mind keeps your customers coming back. Check-in and checkout, valet service, housekeeping, and special requests are just some of the key areas where you have the opportunity to stand out and make a unique impression on your customer.
Government Agencies
There are important regulations for your teams to follow to ensure fair treatment of all your customers. Your teams have to be ready to help politely and in a way that displays the adaptability to be able to relate to any demographic segment. In addition, your customers turn to you for help and guidance; the information given to them must be accurate and helpful.
Financial Services
Companies operating in this space have to create an important bond of trust between their clients and their teams. Not only do your teams need to be up to date with rates, rules and regulations, but they also need to communicate their goals and strategies effectively. That starts by ensuring that your agents are knowledgeable, make no false promises, know and understand the customer needs, and foster that ever-important trust relationship.

Marketing & Brand Activation Agencies
With millions of dollars spent each year on marketing and brand activation strategies and campaigns, it is imperative that you have the right execution team in place.

Manufacturing & Distribution
Your product placement, inventory levels, shelf space and special offers are just a part of what ensures that you are maximizing sales. But, who sells your product? Do they know about the most important features? Who ensures the right representation of your product all over the country? Our nationwide coverage allows us to evaluate this for you quickly, efficiently, and simultaneously across the country.
“Whether you need your merchandise placed according to a plan-o-gram, need a price comparison with your competitor’s product, or need to educate those who are representing your brand, Premier Service will get the job done.”
FREE SAMPLE REPORTCosmetics & Pharma
The customer will often ask for the advice of the cosmetician. If your in-store representatives do not know your brand, your consumers may miss it and go home with a competitor’s product. With so many choices, the cosmetician is vital to your product’s visibility. Those selling your product should be able to take a consultative approach, assess the client’s needs, and quickly be able to guide her to the right product within your brand. Product knowledge, friendliness and speed of service are all key factors in ensuring your customer leaves satisfied. A great way to ensure maximum convenience for your customers is through effective product training and excellent communication of the benefits.
Consumer Electronics
When a customer shops at a retail electronics store, they are overwhelmed with so many choices of the same product. How do you make your product break from the clutter? Are the sales associates representing your products encouraging or hindering your sales? Are they well versed enough to understand why your product is the better choice? What incentive do they have to recommend your product over your competitor? Premier Service offers a wide variety of programs designed to train, test and incent sales associates to choose, recommend and evangelize your product. Better-trained, more knowledgeable sales people means top of mind awareness for your product that will affect your bottom line.
