Turning Satisfaction Surveys into Strategic Action

/在： /通过：

Customer satisfaction has long been seen as a key metric for business success, but modern organizations know that data alone is not enough. At BARE International, we believe that true value lies in transforming perception into action. That’s where satisfaction surveys become more than numbers — they become strategic tools that drive smart decisions.  

Why Satisfaction Surveys Matter More Than Ever

In a market overflowing with choices, customers expect personalized experiences. Satisfaction surveys are one of the few tools that directly connect a brand with its audience’s voice. But their power doesn’t lie in the data collection alone — it lies in what you do with it. 

Whether you're identifying gaps in service delivery, improving employee performance, or refining the customer journey, satisfaction surveys provide actionable insights that lead to measurable improvement. 

Tailored Survey Solutions for Every Customer Journey

At BARE International, feedback collection is not one-size-fits-all. We offer a diverse range of survey methods to ensure every customer voice is captured. Our technologies adapt to the customer journey, offering flexibility, speed, and precision. 

Multichannel Survey Options

  • Telephone Surveys: Conducted by our trained Call Team Members using advanced systems and available in your client portal in real time. 
  • SMS Text Surveys: With open rates as high as 98%, SMS is one of the most effective ways to gather quick feedback. On average, it takes just 90 seconds to respond to a text—compared to 90 minutes for an email. 
  • Email & Web Surveys: Integrated into your platforms—websites, apps, invoices, and emails—for continuous touchpoint feedback. 
  • Kiosk, QR Code, and Flash Feedback: Let customers respond instantly at the point of service using geolocation or in-app tools.
     

Strategic Advantages

  • Accessible and Timely Insight: Surveys can be triggered by product lifecycle milestones or purchase events, providing real-time data that’s instantly compiled and easy to interpret. 
  • Actionable Intelligence: Combine survey data with mystery shopping results for a robust overview of the customer experience. This hybrid approach gives you the power to act fast and smart. 
  • Omni-channel Personalization: Surveys are optimized per user journey—factoring in location, channel, product type, and interaction history to deliver context-rich insights. 
  • CSAT Excellence: Our Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) surveys are mobile-friendly, fully branded, and customizable. With unlimited monthly subscriptions, you can collect real-time feedback from a wide customer base and transform it into measurable action. 

From Feedback to Strategy: How BARE Helps

At BARE, we take satisfaction surveys further by: 

  • Crafting customized questions that align with your strategic objectives. 
  • Offering multilingual and multi-platform capabilities for global reach. 
  • Providing dashboard-based analytics for fast, digestible decision-making. 
  • Enabling benchmarking for ongoing performance tracking. 

The end result? You’re not just asking customers how they feel — you’re showing them that their feedback drives change. 

If your company still sees satisfaction surveys as routine tasks, it’s time for a paradigm shift. With the right partner and the right tools, these surveys can unlock your business's full potential.

Start transforming data into decisions — and elevate your brand with insights that matter.

Mystery Calls: The Truth Behind Phone Service

/在： /通过：

When was the last time you truly listened to how your brand sounds over the phone? In a world where digital touchpoints multiply by the day, one thing remains constant: your customer service team’s voice can make — or break — the customer experience. That’s where BARE International’s Mystery Phone Calls come in.  

What Are Mystery Calls?

Mystery Calls are a powerful CX evaluation tool that lets you hear your brand exactly as customers do.  

Our expert evaluators make real calls to your locations, posing as potential or existing customers. Using cutting-edge technology, interactions may or may not be recorded depending on the project. In both cases, we assess every step of the call to uncover what happens when no one is watching. 

What We Evaluate — And Why It Matters 

Timeliness
How long does it take to answer? Are customers placed on hold for too long? Fast and responsive service sets the tone for the entire interaction. 

Behavior & Soft Skills
Politeness, enthusiasm, and professionalism aren’t just nice-to-haves — they’re brand essentials. We evaluate the human touch that makes your service memorable. 

Technical Proficiency
Is your staff confident when providing information about products, prices, or availability? We examine the depth of knowledge shared with your customers. 

Speech Conformity
Are brand standards being followed? From approved phrases to tone of voice, we ensure consistency in communication across all locations. 

Beyond Recording: Smart Call Grading

Every call is assessed using custom criteria tailored to your business. Our analysts break down results by department, call reason, region, and more — giving you real-world insights that drive strategic decisions. 

Whether you're in hospitality, retail, healthcare, automotive, or any service-driven industry, Mystery Calls help you discover your blind spots and train your team to deliver excellence, every time. 

The Voice of Your Brand Matters

With BARE International’s  Mystery Phone Calls, you gain more than a recording — you gain clarity. Because great service isn’t just seen, it’s heard. 

How Employee Experience Impacts Customer Service

/在： /通过：

Have you ever considered that your employees’ experience might directly reflect what your customers go through? If your company is aiming to deliver exceptional customer service, it must start by looking inward: What’s the work environment like? How engaged and motivated is your team? 

Many companies invest in external satisfaction surveys but overlook a critical success factor in any Customer Experience (CX) strategy: the Employee Experience (EX). 

Motivated, heard, and recognized employees tend to be more productive, more engaged, and above all, better equipped to deliver exceptional service.  

The Direct Impact on CX

Employees who feel valued and understood not only become brand ambassadors — they also pass that positive energy on to the customer. 

Service becomes more empathetic, solutions are found more efficiently, and a collaborative atmosphere is reflected across every customer touchpoint. 

On the flip side, a disengaged, overwhelmed employee who sees no purpose in their work can negatively affect the customer experience — even unintentionally. The connection is clear: taking care of your customers starts with taking care of your team.

Internal Surveys as a Strategic Tool 

One of the most effective ways to understand your organizational climate and anticipate potential issues is through regular internal surveys. These go far beyond simple satisfaction scores — they provide strategic insights to identify pain points, improvement opportunities, and to strengthen your company culture. 

With the data collected, actionable plans can be developed, such as employee recognition programs, internal communication adjustments, process improvements, and professional development initiatives. 

The Benefits of Investing in Employee Experience

  • Lower turnover: Satisfied employees are more likely to stay. 
  • Higher productivity: A healthy environment boosts performance. 
  • Better service delivery: Engaged teams create more positive customer experiences. 
  • Stronger employer brand: Companies that care for their people attract top talent. 

BARE International’s Solution 

At BARE International, we offer Employee Experience Surveys as a strategic solution for companies that want to truly understand their teams. 

Flexible, cost-effective, and tailored to your business reality, our surveys can be conducted via phone, SMS, mobile device or computer — through QR codes or links. The results are instant and actionable. 

With segmentation options by unit, department or area of expertise, our surveys explore topics such as training, procedures, organizational climate, and market knowledge. A well-structured internal outlook is the first step to strengthening customer experience. 

Connecting Internal Engagement with External Satisfaction

With 38 years of expertise, BARE International is a global leader in experience research. Present in more than 165 countries, we help companies bridge two critical pillars: employee and customer experience. After all, engaged teams create stronger, longer-lasting journeys for their customers.

Right Place, Right Time Unlocking CX Insights Through Intercepts

/在： /通过：

To truly understand customer experience, you need insights that are fresh, authentic, and captured in the moment. Traditional surveys might tell you what a customer remembers, but intercept interviews reveal what they just experienced.

Why Intercept Interviews Matter 

BARE International’s intercept interview program provides a direct line to real-time Voice of the Customer (VOC) feedback. Conducted in person, often at the point-of-sale, these interviews capture opinions while the experience is still fresh in the customer’s mind—offering insights that are richer and more actionable than traditional surveys. 

Unlike online feedback that may come days or weeks later, intercepts gather data immediately after the customer engages with a service or product. This immediacy allows interviewers to ask follow-up questions, probe deeper into pain points, and clarify responses on the spot.

57% of customers will switch to a competitor after a single bad experience

This stat reinforces the importance of capturing honest, in-the-moment feedback before it's too late to fix what went wrong.

How BARE Ensures Quality & Relevance

Customized Surveys
Each intercept is built around a questionnaire tailored to your business objectives. This ensures that the insights collected align precisely with the KPIs and strategic questions you're aiming to answer. 

Flexible Data Collection Methods
Whether using pen and paper, tablet, or smartphone, BARE adapts the collection method to the environment and client preferences—making it efficient and seamless. 

Strategic Incentivization
Need to reach a specific sample size? BARE implements client-approved incentives to encourage participation without biasing the responses. 

Full-Service Quality Control
From data gathering to final reporting, BARE’s multi-tiered quality control process guarantees data integrity. Our dedicated project management and client services teams ensure the results are clean, consistent, and ready for action.

Benefits of Intercept Interviews

  • Capture real-time feedback, while the experience is still fresh 
  • Achieve higher response rates through in-person engagement 
  • Uncover deeper, contextual insights from open dialogue 
  • Control sample size and targeting for more strategic data 
  • Resolve inconsistencies through real-time clarification 

With the ability to capture both quantity and quality, intercept interviews are ideal for companies that want to optimize the customer journey with precision.

Boost Your E-Commerce Strategy

/在： /通过：

In the fast-paced digital marketplace, success requires more than just having an online store. It takes strategic evaluation, continuous improvement, and a data-driven approach to ensure your e-commerce platform truly delivers—both for your customers and your bottom line. 

The Importance of Research, Evaluation & Optimization

Small details can make a big difference in user experience. A confusing menu, broken link, or delayed customer response can be the difference between a completed purchase and a lost customer. Brands that want to stand out must continuously evaluate and improve their online platforms. 

At BARE International, we provide in-depth E-Commerce Mystery Shops and E-Commerce Analysis services to give you real, actionable insights into your digital performance.

What We Evaluate

Website & Phone: Customer & Brand Experience
Our mystery shoppers assess how your website and phone support reflect your brand values. This includes testing “Contact Us” or “Customer Service” forms, completing purchases, and even calling your business to evaluate service and communication. 

Navigation & Online Ordering Proficiency
We check whether your site is intuitive and easy to use. Can users find what they need quickly? Is the ordering process smooth and frustration-free? 

Technical Operations
Broken links, invalid forms, or glitchy checkout processes drive customers away. We identify these bugs before they hurt your sales. 

Employee-Customer Interactions
Do your support teams respond promptly and courteously? We measure service standards against real-time expectations. 

Customer Service Evaluation
Our evaluators assess service quality based on responsiveness, professionalism, and helpfulness—whether it’s via chat, email, or phone. 

Know Your Competition

With our Competitor Research, you don’t just evaluate your business—you also gain critical insights into what your competitors are doing well (or poorly). This includes mystery shopping, real-time data collection, and analysis of public customer reviews. 

By comparing your performance to competitors, you identify key areas for differentiation and growth. 

Why It Matters

Without detailed UX evaluations and journey analysis, brands are left in the dark about what’s working—and what’s not. BARE’s methodology empowers you to: 

  • Optimize every step of the online journey 
  • Discover and correct friction points and technical issues 
  • Align digital experiences with customer expectations 
  • Increase trust, conversions, and retention 
  • Benchmark performance against competitors 

Let your e-commerce platform become a powerful tool for growth. With over 38 years of global expertise in customer experience research, BARE International helps you transform insights into performance.

Retail Price Audits The Key to Accuracy, Compliance, and Competitiveness

/在： /通过：

In an increasingly dynamic and competitive market, ensuring that prices at the point of sale are accurate and up to date is essential for any retail operation. Retail price audits conducted by BARE International go far beyond checking numbers — they are a powerful strategy to ensure precision, compliance, and competitiveness.

How BARE’s Price Audits Work

BARE’s specialized ICs auditors personally visit your retail locations and follow a carefully designed script tailored to each project. The process is customized to your business needs and includes detailed guidelines such as: 

  • Capturing high-resolution images of products, menus, price tags, promotions, displays, and UPCs when applicable. 
  • Clear instructions of where prices should be checked — on shelves, menus, promotional displays, or even online. 
  • Details on what product aspects to include: size, unit of measure (UOM), regular price, and promotional price. 
  • Defined procedures in case the product or item is not available in-store. 
  • Scripts and prompts to guide auditors in case interactions are required to complete the audit accurately. 
  • Specific notes on whether price data should also be verified through websites or other digital channels.
     

Results That Drive Impact

Accurate price data collection allows businesses to spot discrepancies, ensure internal policy compliance, and gain strategic insights into market competitiveness. This type of audit is essential for retail chains, franchises, restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets, and beyond. 

By investing in BARE’s retail price audits, you strengthen your operations and make decisions based on real data from the point of sale — enhancing both the customer experience and your company’s financial performance.

Turn Every Interaction into a Success Story

/在： /通过：

The customer journey goes far beyond the moment of purchase. Every interaction matters — from the first contact with your brand to post-sale support. But does your company truly know every step your customer takes before closing a deal (and coming back)? 

Often, brands focus only on the final result and forget to look at the path the customer took to get there. How did they feel when they reached out to your store or website? Was it easy to find information? Did they encounter obstacles? Did the service exceed expectations — or disappoint? 

When we fail to look at the entire journey, we risk losing customers along the way without even realizing where the mistake happened.

Why track your customer’s journey?

Understanding the customer journey is not just a competitive advantage — it’s essential. Knowing how your customer behaves at each stage allows your company to: 

✔ Discover where they encounter difficulties
✔ Adjust processes to provide a smoother experience 
✔ Strengthen relationships with current customers and attract new ones 
✔ Increase conversion and loyalty rates
✔ Ensure your brand is present at the moments that truly matter

That’s where BARE International can make a difference. 

How can BARE help your brand?

With over 38 years of global experience, BARE International supports companies from various industries in analyzing the real customer experience. 

Through solutions such as Mystery Shopping, Audits, Satisfaction Surveys, Interceptions, and more, our team identifies the key challenges and opportunities that arise throughout the customer journey.
