 Customer Satisfaction Surveys

Hearing and clearly understanding the voice of your customer in today’s competitive environment has become an essential and fundamental requirement to future planning. It is ultimately your customer’s voice that matters most. Successful organizations hear that voice and effectively use it to guide their activities. You may have heard rumors about what your customers are thinking or even whispers from them along the way, but it is up to you to clearly understand the thoughts and opinions of your customers in order to compete effectively.

Customer satisfaction surveys allow you to identify (just to name a few)…

·   Your Organization’s Strengths and Weaknesses

·   Competitive Information

·   Unmet Customer Needs

·   Marketing Trends

·   Future Sales Opportunities

  Market Perception Surveys

It is easy to find people who are happy to tell you what they think your marketplace wants, but the only way to know what potential customers, partners and suppliers really think is to ask them. Our market perception survey helps you find out what is really going through the minds of the decision makers who matter to you. Our interviewers can get in-depth answers to your burning questions.

 Market Perception surveys allow you to (just to name a few)…

·   Determine the perceptions of customers and non-customers about specific ideas, products, or services.

·   Determine customers’ and non-customers’ potential usage, needs and expectations of those ideas, products, or services.

·   Define the specific factors that influence purchasing decisions.

·   Identify respondents’ perceptions of products and services that are currently in demand, but not available within the market.

·   Identify the competitive landscape as perceived by respondents.

·   Identify key issues in need of greater understanding and more in-depth research relative to future business opportunities.

  Market Opportunity Assessments

Whether you are launching a new product, entering a new market, or simply looking for new opportunities in your current line of business, we can design a market opportunity assessment for you. Using customized combinations of in-depth market surveys and secondary data and analysis, we can help you increase sales and value more quickly and with a higher level of confidence and planning.

 Market Opportunity Assessments will help you...

·   Determine the size of your market (current or targeted).

·   Determine how fast your market is growing (current or targeted).

·   Forecast what your market will look like tomorrow.

·   Assess existing markets to help sell more to current customers.

·   Assess new markets to identify potential business ideas and opportunities.

·   Take the guess work out of important marketing and business decisions.

 Employee Perception Surveys

The phrase “perception is reality” is never more true than when observing how employees interact with each other and their employers on a daily basis. Having a clear and common understanding of employee perceptions offers enormous opportunities for performance improvement and gathering new business ideas. We can help you create the employee perception survey process you need to discover what motivates your employees and gain valuable insights into the health of your organization.

 

The following are just some of the areas that can be measured in an effort to understand your organization’s current climate…

 

·   job perception

·   work environment

·   quality efforts

·   customer commitment and relationships

·   management support

·   career advancement/opportunities

·   education and training

·   ability to improve work

·   overall understanding of the organization’s goals/priorities

 

Employee survey results can be used to improve your work environment and create successful employee programs, policies and procedures that will ultimately improve your organization's competitive advantage in the marketplace.

 Community Positioning Studies

The business environment of nonprofit organizations has increasing demands and pressures that change almost daily. Nonprofit organizations are held accountable to government regulators and the public, creating unique needs and concerns. Our research can help your nonprofit organization determine its position within your community, based on detailed information gathered from a host of stakeholders that may be affected (either directly or indirectly) by your organization’s mission and services.

 A community positioning study can…

·   Identify unmet service needs in your community related to your organization's mission and services.

·   Determine stakeholder perceptions of your services (e.g. current clients, potential clients, key referral sources, community leaders, individual donors, funding sources, etc.).

·   Analyze your standing with other nonprofits in your area vying for the same scarce resources.
