  6. Companies have varying levels of commitment to feedback Reluctant-compliant Active listener Metric-conscious

  7. Increasing the number of complaints heard may be an effective strategy Lack of feedback can indicate that something is preventing customers’ speaking out Rewarding low complaint rates may give incentives for employees to ignore or discourage customer feedback

  8. Feedback cards are an unproductive way to get feedback Customers only fill out a card when they are very upset or very happy Cards are not readily available Cards have too many questions Cards are too open ended

  11. Four ways to proactively seek out customer feedback Focus groups Explorer groups Surveys Mystery shoppers

  12. Focus groups gather unstructured information and opinions Get a representative sample of customers Use not fewer than five, not more than a dozen people Reward participants for their time Limit the time for the group Record the entire session for analysis later

  13. Explorer groups go to other businesses They do not need to go only to competitors; They are forms of observational research Before you go, decide what you are looking for

  14. Customer surveys work best with a random (or stratified random) sample Random sample: any customer has an equal chance of being selected for the survey Stratified random sample: anyone in a pre-selected category has an equal chance

  15. Use surveys when customers have recently completed a transaction Face-to-face surveys as they walk out of your office or store Mail or email brief questionnaires Written surveys that they can mail back later Telephone customers at home or at work

  16. Mystery shoppers visit or contact companies, posing as customers Findings are used In employee training materials For improving the business For improving product quality To compare one location to another

  17. Capturing and using feedback is critical to success. Managers can benefit from maintaining a complaint log to capture ideas from customers and others.
