A Note About Our Scoring System:

EPMS strives to provide a fair and unbiased report every time. We also work hard to maintain a scoring system whose standards are equal from report to report. The individual report categories are given point values. As a general guideline, each percentage can be rated as follows: Excellent 100-95 Very Good 94-85 Good 84-75 Fair 74-65 Poor 64 and below Please note that these scores should be used only as guidelines or indicators and cannot fairly tell the whole story. Thus, the EPMS report gives you additional narrative for a better understanding of what actually happened. Some of the best sales people break all the rules and still achieve the goal...a good, qualified lease. Perhaps the most important question our

While shopping reports continue to be an effective way to measure and improve the lead conversion process, customer experience now plays a vital role in the customer's decision to rent at your community. The customer's experience involves their perceptions and emotions - driving factors for action! Reaching beyond the factual, objective feedback of the mystery shopping report, the Ellis Customer Experience component allows for expression of those subjective, powerful reactions to the customer's interaction with you. This valuable feedback, including a 1 to 5 star Customer Experience rating for each question below and a composite Customer Experience rating for the shop, will be included with your Telephone/Onsite Mystery Shopping Reports*. The Customer Experience questions outlined below as well as the shopper's comments on their experience will allow you to celebrate the "WOW" moments (Excellent-Above Average) that took place and focus on improving those areas that lacked a positive emotional connection (Average-Poor). The Customer Experience component of the shopping report does not impact the raw score of the shop or the Multifamily Benchmark. This section is based solely on the customer's perceptions of the leasing professional and apartment community. The overall customer experience rating is calculated based on an average of the individual ratings for each question. As such, their feedback is a true representation of the real customer emotions, opinions, and all. We are happy to research discrepancies in the objective portions of the shopping report and make adjustments as needed to those areas. Disclaimer: The Customer Experience component is not subject to our standard dispute resolution procedure and cannot be modified.
