Tips to Gain High Quality Survey Responses

QuestionPro Audience

A bad dream for those crafting online survey questionnaires might go as follows… Panel members take an online survey critiquing a previous online survey in which they participated, and one that you wrote. The results are overwhelmingly negative. The panel members hated the experience and admit they offered slapdash information that, as an effect, will actually hinder your research more than help. .

The Power of Customer Journey Thinking (Infographic)

Experience Matters

I hate to break this news to you, but your customers most often interact with your organization because they have to, not because they want to. And when they do connect with you, it’s part of a larger journey that they’re on to achieve something more important than the interaction with you. That’s why it’s critical for organizations to understand and to design experiences for their customers’ journeys.

Collecting Customer Feedback: Too Difficult or Too Easy?

Lumoa

For some companies collecting feedback is easy. Maybe even too easy: I’ve come across a big corporation, which collects feedback, stores it somewhere and does nothing with it. There are no resources to read it through. While server space is cheap, and this might feel like an easy way to make customers believe you listen to them, don’t do like this. You are just wasting your customers’ time and fooling yourself at the same time.

How to Start Improving CX in the Real World

Experience Investigators by 360Connext

I’m often asked how or where a company should start improving CX. While the answer may be a little different for everyone, it’s critical to start out right! However, very few leaders take a realistic approach. Consider this way-too-typical scenario: Marcus decides one day to stand in front of his employees and request in no uncertain terms how everyone needs to be more customer-focused. “Help customers love our company and brand more!

Candidate experience is also customer experience

10 truths about social customer service

Vonage

Social media has changed the rules of customer service. There was a time when if a customer wanted to complain, they’d have to dial the customer service number and then wait in a queue for 10, 20 or 30 minutes. If they were a bit irritated when they picked up the phone, they were likely to be fuming by the time they got through to an agent. This was partly due to the long wait, but also due to the fact that this set-up led to customers not feeling in control or valued in any way.
