                                                                                                                          Our Story:

At Personnel Profiles, we pioneered the art of mystery shopping exclusively for new home builders. Since our founding in 1971, we’ve set the industry standard for evaluating sales teams, helping builders maximize their training programs with insightful, data-driven assessments.

Working alongside legendary sales trainers like Dave Stone, Tom Richey, and Gary Ryness, we developed the signature “Critical Path” shopping report—a structured evaluation covering key areas such as approach, qualifying, demonstration, closing, and overall presentation. Our early mystery shops relied on cassette recorders the size of a toaster cleverly hidden in purses, but today, our high-definition covert video recorders are more discreet than ever.

By the 1980s, we were conducting thousands of new home mystery shops annually, offering a unique perspective on market trends nationwide. The introduction of data collection software revolutionized our services, allowing us to establish national benchmarks that continue to guide builders and sales trainers in making informed decisions about staffing, marketing, and pricing.

Fifty years later, our commitment remains unwavering. While technology and sales techniques evolve, one truth endures—your onsite sales representative is your brand ambassador, your market differentiator, and the keeper of the American Dream. Ensuring they have the skills and tools to succeed is critical, and we are here to support that mission with integrity, expertise, and an unmatched depth of industry knowledge.

        Personnel Profiles New Home Mystery Shops© still adheres to the same mission statement we established in 1971.

Trusted by new home builders for over 50 years.

Personnel Profiles has been evaluating new home sales professionals since 1971. We know how important a visit to your model center is for new home sales. Our first step is an onsite meeting with your sales associate, capturing all aspects of the sales presentation through an audio and/or video recording.

Designed to improve the performance skills of your sales staff by individual and comparision analysis to industry standards

Our evaluations are thorough and based on years of experience evaluating thousands of new home associates for builders, developers and new home management companies. Cost and services are based on the individual client’s needs.

Hire an experienced evaluation team

Our shoppers are the best, but they don’t have the expertise to evaluate a seasoned professional. Our experienced Personnel Profiles team manages every step of your project. A personal account manager and scheduler select the best shopper to fit your buyer profile. Our trained evaluators score the report – not the shopper. A quality control review and an executive make sure that every shop meets our stringent guidelines and mission statement.
