Tips from AidaForm: Creating an an Effective Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire that Gets Results

It is important to create a form that is easy to complete and engaging enough to convince customers to take action. Here are some steps to consider when setting out to build your customer survey:

1
Before you begin, ensure that you are headed in the right direction by defining your purpose for collecting information. What scores are you looking to measure?
2
Define the structure of your form, and what style and type of questions you will include. Check out customer satisfaction survey question examples that will help you get started building a great questionnaire.
3
Design the form with an eye for ease of use and engagement, including colors and branding. A satisfaction survey that is too long or unappealing won’t garner the results you need to make informed decisions.
4
Define your audience and demographics that you desire to give feedback, and what channels you will use to send the form to them to complete. The more fine-tuned your audience, the better your data will be.
5
Determine the best time to launch your survey, and send it out to begin gathering responses. Evaluate completion rates and update the above steps as needed.

How to Utilize Customer Survey Results Effectively

Once you’ve collected your customer’s opinions and feedback, it’s time to analyze the results and take action. The first question your team should ask of the data is How does this information help us, and what does it call us to do next?

Every organization and company will have a unique way of using their survey results, but here are a few general tips to ensure a great experience for your team and your customers:

  • Recognize and bring value to your customers by sending them an automatic or personal thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.
  • Take time to read through each response with a neutral eye - noting the negative and positive responses without having an emotional response.
  • Respond first to the negative comments and recognize the response with a thank you and a promise to respond if needed.
  • Form a team to respond to any large-level issues that are damaging customer relationships or impeding organizational effectiveness.
  • Update your customers on changes or updates that are made from information gathered by the customer satisfaction questionnaire.

By ensuring that you are responding and engaging in a timely fashion, your customers will feel that their voices are heard and that their time is valued by you and your team - which is a great step toward building brand loyalty.

The Three Most Useful Customer Satisfaction Metrics

What are the most popular customer satisfaction surveys in use by top companies and organizations today? For analytics and marketing purposes, there are three types of data sets (or scores) that are tracked. Knowing which one your team needs to gather can help you create the perfect survey.

Net Promoter Score (NPS)

When you are looking to measure customer loyalty, consider creating a survey that looks at Net Promoter Score . These types of surveys are often built of scales or ranges that ask users to report how likely they are to refer or recommend your product or services to someone else.

By tracking NPS results, you can better see how much of the conversation space in your market is being taken up by your brand. If you have raving fans sharing your product without being incentivized, you are probably on the right track.

Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT)

An easy way to capture how satisfied your current customers are is with a CSAT questionnaire. These surveys gather information on specific products and services, and whether or not the buyer was happy with what they purchased, and whether they would do so again. Whether using a simple “yes” or “no” answer format or something more fun such as a “happy face” to “sad face” scale, building questions that quickly gather CSAT statistics can help you get a snapshot of current customer fulfillment.

Get feedback about your products and customer service

Customer Effort Score (CES)

One of the easiest ways to gain customer feedback is to simply find out how hard it was to get a customer from point A to point B in the process of using your product or service. The harder the process, the more likely a negative review will pop up online. By building questions with sliding scales or ranges that ask how easy or difficult it was to work with your company or team, you can gain insight into the amount of effort required to engage with your product and service. This can pay huge dividends to help your company make things easier for your customers - and increase your CES score.
