The CRM for Customer Experience

Hindsight is always 20/20!

All information and all reports are accessed through the Hindsight App. Collectors file there. Clients read there. One app runs the whole system.

You can’t fix what you can’t see. Your customers see everything. The missed greeting. The phone that rings out. The follow-up that never comes. Most customers never tell you. They just don’t come back. Hindsight sends trained Information Collectors into your business. On site. By phone. Online. They live the visit exactly as your customers do. They report the truth. In detail. We recruit them ourselves. We train them. We certify them. We pay them. Every visit becomes a scored report in the Hindsight App. The reports become your management tool. Your own customers add their voice. One system. Every step makes the next one worth more.

Signing up is free. For shoppers. For clients. For schedulers.

QReview Polling

Anonymous polling working from our QReview Stickers or Signage. The sticker stands at your storefront or store exit or in restrooms. Customers scan it and they are prompted to give a quick review of your store, employee contact or store cleanliness. They answer on the spot by giving star ratings to each question. Reviews can post to your own page. They also can go up on Hindsight's Facebook and Instagram pages. Reported on our Hindsight App, updated weekly. Good. Bad. Nothing hidden.

What Our Shops Do — and Never Do

One bright line governs every shop: our people are ordinary customers. Nothing more.

Do: evaluate the experience as an ordinary customer. Greeting. Cleanliness. Speed. Script compliance. Facilities. Food quality. Stay quality.

Never do: surveillance. No following any person. No investigating any person. No integrity stings. No theft stings. No testing an employee for wrongdoing. No gathering evidence about a person. No recording conversations. Ordinary customers evaluating a service — nothing else.

Photos: shoppers photograph what a guest can see. The property. Their receipt. Their invoice. Each photo is filed inside the report as evidence. Never restricted areas. Never another guest’s documents. A photo is not a recording. No conversation is ever recorded.

Read the full explanation

Our shoppers live the real experience. On-site. By phone. Online. They report it in 20/20 detail while you can still act. Hindsight turned into foresight.
