The best way to assess the level of customer service through the use of specially trained personnel (the mysterious buyers). Mysterious buyer, playing the role of a real buyer, realize the inspection of service process, notes the process in details by hidden methods of the seller. Most often, evaluations are made on the way of visiting the outlet, as well as by phone, letters by email, and other communication methods, depending on the evaluated service procedures.

 Rules of etiquette of the collaborators (courtesy, kindness etc.);
 Vocabulary of the collaborators (literacy, intelligibility, etc.);
 Waiting period to answer the phone and / or waiting period of the answer to the question;
 The physical aspect of collaborators, how much are cared for and their compliance with company style;
 Fulfilling the necessary standards and rules by company employees;
 Merchandising;
