Last Day for Confidence Printables, New Printables Training, Plus Meditation and Success Planners and Creating Customer Surveys

Happy Tuesday!

It’s another gorgeous summer day here in Central Ontario. I went out and did my errands early this morning so I could beat the heat, and now I’m ready to settle in and get some work done this afternoon.

The good news is, I have my own computer back finally! Shaun finished putting it back together last night, and the only thing missing right now is my good speaker so I can listen to Spotify all day. I’ll get him to hook that up tonight because I know it shouldn’t be hard, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

And on that note, here’s what I have for you this morning…

Today’s Read: 10 Things to Keep in Mind When Creating Customer Surveys

It’s getting to be that time of year again. As business owners, we all want to know what makes our customers tick. Why do they do what they do, and why do they act the way they act. What makes them feel one way versus another. And what type of products do they want you to create. The only way to find out the answers is to ask the questions.

And it’s about this time of year when the planning for next year starts, that everyone is asking their customers to fill out surveys. However, there are some considerations about surveys. First, creating surveys is an art in and of itself. Asking questions the right way is critical because using the wrong words can take your survey in a direction you don’t necessarily want to go.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when creating your own customer survey:

1. Open-Ended Versus Closed Questions – An open-ended question is broad and allows the person answering to type in whatever they want as an answer while the closed questions do not and have a defined answer to choose. You may want to ask one open-ended question in a survey but don’t make them all open-ended, or it’ll take forever go to through it.

2. Reading Between the Lines – When you do ask questions, realize that your customer will likely read between the lines of the question to try to give you the answer you want, or that they want to give. Try to create questions that make this harder to do.

3. Avoid Unnecessary Questions – You don’t really need to ask a lot of questions on a survey to get good results. You don’t need to ask questions that you don’t care about the answer. If the answer doesn’t guide a marketing or customer service tactic, it’s not important. For example, if their age does not matter, don’t ask.

4. Keep the Questions Short and Simple – The shorter and simpler the questions, the better. People are more likely to tick through a shorter and simpler survey than they are to finish answering a very complicated one. If you want results, you’ll need to remember short and simple is the best. Better to do follow up surveys than do surveys that are too long and cover too much information.

5. Ask Direct Questions – Make your questions direct, so they don’t have to read between the lines to figure it out. Remove vague words. Ask, “Do temperatures above 85 make you feel too hot?” not, “Do temperatures above 85 make you feel particularly overly heated?”

6. Ask Only One Question at a Time – Ask one question at a time. If some issues need three or four questions to get through each step, that is okay. Make it happen in several questions but don’t ask more than one question per question.

7. Do Not Ask Leading Questions – You’ve seen leading questions before on polls, especially political ones. A leading question tends to tell the person answering how to answer. “Our products are topnotch award winners and are always accurate. How many of the products that you’ve ordered from me have been perfect?”

8. Use the Right Language and Words – This is when knowing your audience pays off because you need to know the words your audience and your customers use to talk about the issues at hand. When you speak in their language and use their words, they will be more comfortable answering.

9. Consider Using Response Scales – One way to get better answers when yes and no don’t work is to use scales. “From a scale of 1 to 10 of the following, which do you prefer.” Then when you analyze the answers, you’re going to get closer to the truth.

10. Give an Incentive at the End – I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people complain that there’s no incentive for filling out surveys. You are asking your customers to take their valuable time to give you information, so make sure you thank them and give them something in return. How hard is it to set up a coupon or a freebie just for the people who are donating their time to make your business better?

When you design your survey, it will help at first to create shorter, more focused surveys designed to get one answer about one thing. As you gain more experience or can afford to hire someone to design a survey correctly, this tactic will help you ensure your surveys get answers that are accurate so that when you make decisions based on that data, it works the way you think it will.
