360 Intel, one of the country’s premier secret shopper services, is a part of the NFDA Discount Advantage Program, a benefit of your membership. Secret shopper programs are used in many service-based businesses to provide valuable and unbiased feedback on how staff interacts with customers.

What To Expect

After discussing the unique needs and challenges a firm faces, 360 Intel will work with your funeral home to design a customized secret shopper program. You can choose a mix of shop types – in person or phone. There are standard questions shoppers respond to but as an NFDA member, you can add custom questions about your firm and operations.

When a secret shopper visits or calls your funeral home, he or she will engage members of your staff (both funeral directors and non-licensed staff) and complete a detailed assessment. The confidential results are shared within 48 hours with the owner or manager and will provide insight into immediate opportunities for improving customer service.

A visit or call from a secret shopper can provide a great deal of information about specific customer service skills on which employees can be coached; however, analyzing overall customer service trends within the funeral home is also important. 360 Intel also offers an online reporting dashboard which houses data from all shops, along with customizable charts and graphs that will enable them to analyze trends in customer service ratings over time.

As an NFDA member, you will receive specially negotiated discounted prices from 360 Intel. You will not be required to make major commitments to a certain number of shops over a particular period of time. They will also have the ability to customize a portion of the questions used for each shop and have the opportunity to anonymously benchmark their customer service scores against other NFDA member funeral homes participating in the secret shopper program.
