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.

Candidate experience is also customer experience

Customer Bliss

I have said this over the years, and recently, several of my podcast guests have also discussed it: there is an ever-increasing need to think of employees as customers as well, i.e. internal customers. Retention rates in major companies have been dropping for years, for a variety of reasons: more flexible work options, people pursuing their own ventures or teaming with startups, bad management, etc.

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.

Why Support Should Have a Voice in Product Development

Kayako

Where do you begin when you develop a new product or feature? Product development can seem overwhelming. There are so many moving parts that trying to create something valuable from nothing can seem impossible. And with so many stakeholders to please, whose opinion should you seek? All too often a product development cycle starts with market research, gets approved by the board, developed and sold by a sales team before support is ever involved.
