Yom Yom! Online chat specialist Yomdel eats up mystery shopping firm 360 Perspectives
Purchase is part of a move by Yomdel to offer agents much more than just online chat services, it is claimed.
Agents who would like to know both how their customers, employees and prospects behave and what they think about their business can now use live chat supplier Yomdel to find out.
Yomdel, whose 24/7 online chat service is used by many agents as well as The Property Ombudsman, has acquired leading mystery shopping and market research agency 360 Perspectives from founders Nick Meinertzhagen (below, left).
The deal for the Horsham, West Sussex based company – which recently won a ‘one to watch’ business award – is for an undisclosed sum.
“Since launching in 2014 we have worked hard to broaden our product portfolio from intelligent 24/7 live chat to include a suite of other complementary products and services,” says Yomdel CEO and founder Andy Soloman (below, right).
“We recognise that rather than working with multiple suppliers, our clients seek an expert that can offer an integrated solution to help them drive business growth.
Ideal acquisition
“That’s what made 360 Perspectives, with its expertise in customer experiences, the ideal acquisition.”
Agents will now be able to benchmark themselves in their marketplace, analyse their competitors, look at how buyers, landlords, vendors and tenants behave, and place mystery shopper phone calls.
Nick Meinertzhagan will join the merged entity and help run it alongside the existing Yomdel leadership team.
“Nick brings with him over 14 years of experience in the field of consumer insight and we have no doubt that he will be a huge asset to the business,” says Yomdel Managing Director Tim Breden (left).
