In other news, every major retailer uses secret shoppers to do essentially the same thing.
- rdtsc 9y ago> In other news, every major retailer uses secret shoppers to do essentially the same thing. They send their employees with fake names, trying to lure customers from their competitors? At least that's what the article claims.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoThe article doesn't actually mention them attempting to lure Knotel customers away - it just says that they didn't: > No Knotel customers were stolen as a result of the spying episode, Sarva said. Knotel claims they tried, but there's no actual evidence of this whatsoever.
- rdtsc 9y ago> The article doesn't actually mention them attempting to lure Knotel customers away I saw this in the article: --- WeWork, the No. 1 player in the sector, allegedly sent two spies to infiltrate rival Knotel — to steal info and some customers ---
- pavel_lishin 9y agoBut that's not backed up by anything else in the article. Knotel just claims that was the objective, but provides no backup for this.
- rdtsc 9y agoI went by what the article claims. I didn't independently verify those claims. Presumably OP also didn't talk to either party to know who is right or wrong, either.
