42% of Customer Inquiries to Your Locations Fail — Here's How to Fix It

Find the customer opportunities your locations are missing.

Your locations receive calls, chats, web leads, appointment requests, and follow-up opportunities every day. LHE shows where those opportunities are not being handled effectively, so you can identify the locations, channels, and behaviors that need attention.

Phone inquiryMissed opportunity

LHE Monitoring: “We found our missing customers

See what actually happens when real people contact your business.

Each week, Pied Piper uses real human evaluators to contact your locations the way customers do: by phone, by chat, or through your website contact form. LHE measures response quality, handling, follow-up by phone, text, and email, and whether the interaction moves the customer toward an appointment, sale, or next step.

No new software. No complicated training. No disruption to your day-to-day operations.

LHE is not software your managers have to install, learn, check, or manage. Your team keeps doing its job while Pied Piper independently monitors the process. Dashboards and internal reports may show that an inquiry was logged or routed. LHE shows what the customer actually experienced.

Performance Alerts

When LHE identifies a performance trend that needs attention, such as missed calls, weak interactions, poor handling, lack of follow-up, or invisible technical issues, Pied Piper texts and emails local management so the issue can be addressed quickly.

90-Second Audio Summaries

Alerts include a short 90-second audio summary explaining the issue and how to improve, without requiring managers to dig through a full report.

Monthly Executive Briefings

At the end of each month, managers and executives receive a simple briefing showing trends, risks, opportunities, strong locations, and locations needing attention.

Piper Answers™

Ask questions about monitoring results, location performance, benchmarking, and improvement opportunities using Pied Piper’s interactive AI chat.

Available Detail When Needed

Historical evaluation scores, data downloads, and full PDF reports for individual evaluations are available online whenever your team wants to review the details.

Automatic Monitoring

You do not have to schedule each evaluation or kick off the process. With an LHE subscription, Pied Piper monitors your selected locations automatically.

Measurement makes improvement possible.

Pied Piper has spent more than 15 years measuring the behaviors that turn shoppers into buyers. Our PSI® process shines a light on what is actually happening at the retail level, reports the results clearly, and helps organizations improve over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. LHE is a subscription service that monitors how your locations handle inbound customer inquiries by phone, chat, web form, and follow-up. Pied Piper uses real human evaluators ("mystery shoppers") to place real customer inquiries through your actual phone, website, and chat channels, then evaluates how each opportunity is handled and reports the results so your team can improve.

  2. Each week, Pied Piper evaluators contact your selected locations through the monitored channels. We measure response time, handling quality, answer quality, follow-up activity, and whether the interaction moves the customer toward an appointment, sale, or next step.

  3. LHE can monitor inbound phone calls, website chat, website contact forms, and follow-up communications by phone, text, and email. When setting up your LHE subscription, you can adjust which channels are monitored, how much each channel is monitored, and how frequently evaluations occur.

  4. When LHE identifies a performance trend that needs attention, such as missed calls, weak interactions, poor handling, lack of follow-up, or invisible technical issues, Pied Piper sends a Performance Alert by text and email to local management.
