Use a Clear and Lucid Language:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine someone speaking to you about a product using<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jargon and you hardly understand it? Will you be engaged in the conversation, or confused? This is exactly what happens in a customer survey filled with jargon. Your customers leave midway, usually because they couldn\u2019t connect well with your purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that through the customer survey, you engage your customers in a conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Make it worth their time.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use simple and understandable language.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refrain from using product or service technicalities, jargon, or abbreviations that the users do not understand.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Example:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat do you think of our CST?\u201d (Jargon used: CST for Customer Support Team)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat do you think of our Customer Support?\u201d (Correct Usage, Jargon avoided)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Adopt a Neutral Tone:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t you want your customers to be honest and genuine in their feedback? You certainly do! Adopt a sincere approach while forming the questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not try to misguide or influence their opinion in any way.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid confusing questions to get a favorable response.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Example<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have a world-class customer support team. How do you rate this good feature?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herein, you state the fact that you possess excellent customer service. You have already created an opinion in the mind of the customer. Now, you are asking the customer to rate the same outstanding feature. In other words, you ask for a favorable response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never make this mistake. Give them an option of sharing their true opinion about your service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Let\u2019s rephrase the above question<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow would you rate our customer support?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The neutral approach adopted in the question above ensures a genuine and constructive response. It values the surveyees\u2019 opinion and motivates them to complete the survey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Offer Balanced Options in MCQs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you ask your customer to pick from extreme options, you are not likely to get an honest feedback\/opinion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers have subjective and varied opinions based on their experiences. Some might be fully satisfied with your product, while others may be partially happy, and there could be a bunch of slightly disappointed customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the right questions are asked with appropriate options, you can turn the slightly disappointed or slightly happy customers into your loyal army:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you capture the full range of emotions in your survey.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not restrict them to pick extreme end options: \u2018like\u2019 or \u2018dislike\u2019 the product.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Example<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow was your experience using our product?\u201d (Incorrect way, restricted and biased options)<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow was your experience using our product?\u201d (Correct way, wide and unbiased options)<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needs improvement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extremely poor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving them<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">freedom of opinion with flexibility enhances the survey engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Structure Majority of Your Questions as \u2018Optional\u2019 to Answer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your customers may be unaware of all the answers to your questions. Pushing them to answer every question can jeopardize the entire survey process with unreliable results. There could be a random selection of answers or partially right answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the majority of your questions optional. It ensures the active participation of your customer in the survey from the beginning.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may keep 1-2 mandatory questions towards the end. Nevertheless, keep it brief and to the point.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Checklist of optional and mandatory questions:<\/b><\/p>\n<table style=\"border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #3c8ac9; border-collapse: collapse;\">\n<th style=\"padding: 15px; border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;\">Mandatory Questions<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 15px; border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;\">Optional Questions<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 15px; border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;\">Short questions like &#8211; What is your name\/contact\/email?<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 15px; border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;\">Long questions, multiple-choice, rating, opinion scale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><b>5. Give More Weightage to Close-Ended Questions:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As discussed above, open-ended questions require more time and effort to answer. While close-ended questions are straightforward and easy to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you have maximum close-ended questions at the beginning of the survey. It acts as a hook and prevents your customer from dropping off. Since it doesn&#8217;t require too much thinking, the customers enjoy taking the survey and giving genuine feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep open-ended questions to the end and limit them to two questions. Ensure they are not lengthy; it might prevent the customer from completing the survey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Eliminate Loaded Questions:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofssurvey.com\/blog\/leading-and-loaded-questions\/\">loaded question<\/a> is a controversial question that does not have a straightforward answer. Loaded questions leave the customers perplexed, and abandon the survey midway through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, for the question \u201cDo you like tea or coffee?\u201d, a person can have an unclear answer as \u201cI like none\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remedy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modified Question:\u00a0 \u201cWhat is your favorite drink?\u201d (The question is straightforward)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Straightforward Answer: tea, coffee, milk shake, mojito etc. (Easy for the customer to give a clear answer)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>7.

Share it with your friends, colleagues and family members. A new perspective on the questions is a prerequisite to gauge the depth and clarity of your questions. A sample testing of the survey will help you understand the shortcomings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evaluate your survey on the following parameters:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the survey response rate?
