Through the use of micro audio/video equipment, Virtual Performance Video is able to provide its clients with a VHS video of a shopper's experience in one of the client's locations. A trained shopper will enter a clients place of business while wearing a micro camera unit concealed in a purse, tie, pager, or apparel.

Following a consumer profile provided by the client, the shopper assumes the role of a customer and engages the employee in a sales transaction or a request for information. The employee is given the opportunity to provide professional and courteous service. A client may request that our shopper pan the showroom or customer service desk, allowing a review of those areas or any other areas of concern.

The Virtual Performance Video shopper video tapes from the time they enter the location to the time they exit. The original Digital tape is returned to the The Shadow Agency office to be converted to the final VHS or CD format and ultimately forwarded to the client, where all levels of management can use the video to gain insight specific to their areas of responsibility.

Managers are able to review the tapes of their employees behavior and can reinforce positive actions or correct inappropriate actions. The sales professional is able to see himself or herself from the customer's perspective and may come to realize that they may be saying one thing with their mouths and something completely different with their body language.
