If you’re going to care well for new guests at your church, then you must care about the things your guests care about when they arrive. Consider this book a gift. It’s the report of a secret shopper that serves as your "heads up" before the secret shopper arrives. This resource from Greg is full of practical, tangible and detailed applications that will equip you and your teams to communicate God’s love to the people arriving at your church. Read it. Study it. Share it. And apply it. Your guests will thank you.

The way you feel about a guest coming in your church will be directly reflected in how they feel about you when they walk out of your church. You no longer have to just imagine what a great experience could feel like for a guest. Help is here in Secrets of a Secret Shopper. Why not intentionally create a remarkable guest experience that results in them coming back and bringing someone with them? Greg shares his secrets to help churches create moments of surprise and delight.

Wow! Greg! You just greatly helped our church -- again. A few years ago, when we were in a fast growing church plant, we consulted with Greg as a secret shopper. His insight changed our church. He forced us to think about things we hadn't considered. It was hugely helpful. Today, as I pastor an established church, we've still incorporated some of those same ideas. Now we have a handbook for further discovery and improvement. What a valuable resource for the church and Kingdom! Thanks Greg.

If you want to know what people really think and experience when they visit your church you – and your entire team - need to read this book.

Greg’s practical insights are based on proven experience that help you see what you might miss on your own. The Secret Shopper process will help you improve your over all church experience from the parking lot to the altar!
Executive Pastor, 12Stone Church, Lawrenceville, GA
“Successful corporations have for years put a premium of understanding what a guest experiences. The dirty secret with most churches is we are clueless. We evaluate the sermon, but reaching people far from Jesus takes more than a catchy 30-minute message. If you want to know how to evaluate what someone experiences the time they look up your church in our digital age to the time they leave your parking lot, start reading now! ”
