Secret Shopper Private Investigations for California Businesses
Thirteen years ago, the CBS show “Undercover Boss” premiered the first week of February, 2010. In the unlikely case that you’ve never heard of it, the show had founders, CEOs and other top executives (in compelling disguises) from companies as large and well-known as 7-Eleven and True Value hardware impersonating a new hire at their franchise locations. They would jump in, shoulder to shoulder, with other employees to not only investigate the quality of their operations, but also find out what it’s like to work for their own organization. The show’s 11 seasons vouch for its popularity with viewers, even as television weathered the transition from network/cable/satellite-dominance to streaming providers. Who doesn’t enjoy the thought of a company founder or white-collar executive getting their hands dirty (sometimes quite literally!) to gain a new perspective about their organization? Of course, the c-suiters weren’t the only ones in for a few rude awakenings, and sometimes bad managers and employees found themselves out of a job after the filming of their episodes.
If you’re an owner, executive, or manager of a California business, you don’t have to try to get your company on the show to find out how it’s running and how well (or not) your employees are performing. Kinsey Investigations is a Los Angeles private investigations firm offering secret / mystery shopper investigations to businesses of all types and sizes. While retail businesses and restaurants are our most common types of clients for secret shopper services (what we call “integrity checks” private investigations), we can also “shop” online businesses and customer service centers, non-profit and community service organizations, and more. Our female private investigators are well trained in how to present themselves to appear and sound like any other customer of your business, and we can report back to you within 24 hours of wrapping up our investigation.
