Evaluate Your Online Sales Counselor’s Performance with Precision
In today’s competitive homebuilding market, your Online Sales Counselor (OSC) program can make or break your lead-to-sale conversion rate. OSCs are often the first point of contact for prospective buyers, which makes their performance a crucial part of your customer journey.
That’s why Blue Gypsy Inc. offers a comprehensive 45-day Mystery Shopping Solution designed specifically to evaluate, measure, and improve the effectiveness of your OSC team. This isn’t just a performance check—it’s a strategy-shaping experience grounded in real-world data and expert analysis.
Why OSC Performance Matters
OSCs serve as the bridge between marketing and sales. A fast, personalized response often determines whether a lead becomes a buyer—or disappears. Unfortunately, many OSCs struggle with consistent follow-up, personalization, and using the right mix of communication methods.
Our mystery shopping program identifies where your OSCs shine and where improvements are needed—offering actionable feedback you can use to refine your online sales approach.
What the Program Includes
- Realistic Simulations
Mystery shoppers submit online inquiries and pose as real buyers, testing how your OSCs respond to different lead types and scenarios. - Comprehensive Reporting
We collect detailed data on response time, follow-up frequency, communication quality, and the use of different channels (email, text, phone). Was the message timely and helpful? Did it feel personal? - Live Phone Shop
After 45 days, we wrap up with a live phone call to assess the OSC’s ability to qualify leads and set appointments—giving us a clear view of their phone presence and sales skills. - Tailored Recommendations
You’ll receive a detailed report outlining strengths and areas for improvement, along with specific training suggestions and strategy tweaks to boost results. - Optional Onsite Shop
For an even deeper dive, we can extend the evaluation to include an in-person visit to assess how leads are handled once they’re passed from OSC to on-site sales.
Why It Matters
Buyers expect quick, helpful, and personalized communication—and they have plenty of other builders to choose from. Studies show that 75% of buyers go with the first builder to respond. Speed and quality of follow-up aren’t optional anymore—they’re essential.
The Benefits of Our Mystery Shopping Program
- Realistic Feedback: Understand how your OSCs perform under real conditions.
- Targeted Training: Identify exactly where to focus coaching efforts.
- Improved Conversion Rates: Better communication leads to more appointments—and more sales.
- Enhanced Customer Experience: Timely, consistent follow-up builds trust and keeps buyers engaged.
