Customer Surveys Provide You with Valuable Feedback

Every business owner needs to know who their customer is and what they want and need. That’s a necessity of doing business. Otherwise how do you know where you need to focus your energy? But how do you go about getting that information? One way is to survey your prospects and customers.

“We all need people who give us feedback. That’s how we improve.”

– Bill Gates

Customer surveys can provide you with a lot of great feedback. They can help you:

• Measure customer satisfaction and loyalty.
• Gauge how your company is perceived.
• Determine how to improve your products or services, so you can give your customers the product features or services that they want.
• Spot new market trends that your company needs to take advantage of.
• Evaluate your company’s level of customer service. Are your customers getting their questions answered and their problems solved to their satisfaction?
• Find out how your employees are treating your customers, so you can take corrective measures, if necessary.
• Understand how your products or services compare to your competitors, so you can make necessary improvements.
• Find areas in which you can differentiate yourself from your competition, so you can attract new customers.
• Win back customers who no longer buy your products or services.

Ultimately, customer surveys can help your company succeed in the marketplace. But you need to collect the information, listen objectively to what your customers have to say and take action accordingly.

And to really build personal relationships with your customers, you need to effectively communicate the results of the survey and the actions you plan to take. This will help you build invaluable customer loyalty and open the doors to highly qualified referrals.

Some methods you can use to survey your customers include feedback boxes, phone surveys, polls on social media, face-to-face interviews, longer, traditional surveys that you mail to your customers, or online surveys that you send via email or through a link on your website. Just remember: How you survey your customers doesn’t have to be an elaborate thing.
