The Secret to Better Surveys with Matt Champagne

Having a ‘satisfied’ customer isn’t enough these days. How many people switch phone and TV plans every year or two to get the better deal, regardless of how satisfied they are? What you need to do is create ‘lifers,’ and one of the best ways to do that is through surveys.

Yes, I said surveys. But just ‘asking’ isn’t enough.

  • How to ask the right questions to get the answers you actually need

Great food for thought.

I’m currently doing an online course consisting of 10 modules, and I ask for feedback after every single module – just 3-4 short questions. I make sure to answer as many as I can, and implement the suggested changes for the next module. I sure see no survey fatigue there even though it’s 10 surveys in as many weeks!

In addition, the conversation is spreading since people are commenting on each others’ answers. They’re finding their agreements and their disagreements. Not sure if this is the best approach or not since someone may be influenced by reading others’ comments before submitting an answer so data may be biased…?
