Trusted Partner Program
Customers need to know your business prioritizes their feedback and opinions to build trust and confidence in your business and your brand. Giving your customers an easy way to provide your business with constructive feedback not only builds trust and confidence in your businesses but also offers you valuable information about your customer experience and operations.
The Trusted Partner Program enables customers of participating businesses an easy way to provide direct feedback via SMS about their customer experience. Using a national, text-enabled number, customers simply send a text using the word “VOICE” and a chatbot walks them through a 3-question SMS Survey, enabling them to offer feedback about their visit. Businesses can access customers’ results on A Closer Look’s easy-to-use, near real-time dashboard reporting.
Providing an easy method for customers to provide feedback and engage with businesses directly means they’re less likely to use social media and review platforms to voice their concerns
Near real-time dashboard-based reporting and metrics arms you with the necessary information to measure your health and hygiene practices and build loyalty with customers
Straightforward SaaS-based monthly pricing per location allows you to collect unlimited customer feedback for a predictable low monthly rate

What Our Clients Are Saying
"A Closer Look has consistently and thoroughly followed through with everything we have asked of them since the inception of our program. It's one thing for a company to make promises on what they can do, but it's quite another for them to actually follow through with such success!"
Chief Operating Officer
Build-A-Bear
“The old adage ‘Inspect What You Expect’ is so true. The staff never knows when a mystery shopper will stay, so every guest becomes a mystery shopper. We began with an average company score in the 80 percentile and ended last year in the 90’s. We have a goal this year to increase by at least 5% company-wide. Because of this wonderful program, our company is consistently in the top 5% of all of our brands. Thank you, A Closer Look, you help keep us on our toes and our guests, owners and associates’ benefit. You are the best!”
