How to Collect Customer Feedback

How to Collect Customer Feedback telerep

Here are a few reliable ways to get customer feedback on your business.

Feedback is one of the most important parts of a successful customer relationship. Knowing what people think about your business can inform you about your strengths, where to improve, and if there is any miscommunication between your business and your customers. Since most customers like having their opinions heard, it’s not too difficult to gain this feedback when you have the right sources. Here are a few reliable ways to get customer feedback on your business.

Surveys

Perhaps the most straightforward way to collect feedback is by conducting a survey. Surveys come in various formats, from a multiple-choice questionnaire to an open-ended opinion piece. Surveys are so easy that you can send them en mass through many different mediums, like mail, online, phone, and even text surveys. In particular, phone surveys might require a bit more time than the other methods, but in return, you will have the most sincere feedback. You can even incentivize surveys by including special offers and discounts for people who complete them.

Social Media

More and more businesses are taking advantage of social media for marketing and reaching out to customers. Unlike a survey, customers are freely giving their opinion about your business. Although when people volunteer information on social media it can often lead to harsh comments, it’s beneficial to keep track of how you are doing and places like Facebook and Twitter (X) because social media platforms are where most people will get information about your business. The good thing about social media is that you can interact with your customers; that means that you can highlight positive reviews and address negative comments by offering to remedy whatever issue the person had with your business.

Focus Groups

If you want to commit more time into getting in depth feedback, then you could consider putting together a focus group. It’s a good idea to start smaller with a phone survey before you expand to a focus group. Once you have an idea of your customer base, you can then choose to bring in either a variety of people or a group in your target demographic who don’t know each other to ask them more detailed questions. The benefit of a focus group is that you can ask follow-up questions and determine the reasons why they liked or didn’t like different aspects of your business.
