Double Your Sales - Send Out A Customer Survey

Another unexpected consequence of customer surveys!

A recent study in Harvard Business Review concluded that the simple fact of asking customers how a company was performing proved to be a great customer retention strategy by itself. The study offered multiple rationales:

  • 1. Satisfaction surveys reinforce the customers desire to be coddled and reinforce positive feelings.
  • 2. Surveys may increase awareness of auxiliary products and services.
  • 3. Surveys induce judgments. Presenting the right questions, customers form opinions on things they otherwise might not have considered.
