English term or phrase: Mystery customer
Mystery customers are employed as part of our quality programmes to measure the actual
services provided by sales teams. They pass themselves off as ordinary customers and play through a scenario of asking for advice and making purchases.

Happy New Year!

A butiksdetektiv catches shoflifters
A servicedetektiv secretly watches the staff

Example sentence(s):
  • Mystery customers are quite simply field research staff that take on the role of a legitimate customer of your operation.

disagree  Mette Melchior: Dette ord har jeg til gengæld aldrig set i denne sammenhæng, selvom funktionen jo godt nok er at "overvåge" serviceniveauet i butikker. Har dog set at det bruges på svensk og vist også på tysk.

  -> Jeg tror (endnu) ikke at hemmelig overvågning af personalet ved hjælp af detektiver bruges i Danmark. Derfor er det OK at læne sig op ad vore nabolandes ordforråd, - især fordi "servicedetektiv" lyder dansk og adskiller sig fint fra butiksdetektiv.

agree  Randi Stenstrop: Det er den eneste term, jeg har hørt her i Danmark

  -> Tak Sirius :-)
agree  Mette Melchior: Det er rigtigt at "mystery shopper"/"mystery shopping" også bruges i vid udstrækning i DK, men dette er et godt forslag til et dansk ord. "Testkøber" bruges også meget, se fx her http://www.dk-jobs.dk/person/ledig_stilling.asp?id=3488

neutral  Carmela Heuber Prestia: I do agree, off course its a "Mystery shopper" but I strongly disagree to take one english term "translate it into another" and thats it!!!! We are translators

Explanation:
Nu skriver jeg også lige dette forslag ind som en svarmulighed for sig selv.

Som nævnt under Carmelas forslag bruges "testkøber" også meget i forbindelse med såkaldt mystery shopping. Se reference ovenfor.

Example sentence(s):
  • Synes du, det er sjovt at bedømme service- og salgsydelser? Taler du engelsk eller tysk udover dit modersmål? Har du en god opfattelses- og iagttagelsesevne og er pålidelig? Så bliv testkøber hos Globis!
  • Samtlige Silvans butikker i Danmark er blevet besøgt af anonyme testkøbere, og deres oplevelser danner grundlag for forbedringer.
