"Our Take"

(Past Editions by: Date, Title, Topic)

 
"Our Take" 
"Our Take" is a collection of daily vignettes covering a wide range of CRM topics. It's an attempt to add our own spin to the world of CRM. We will use the column to share our perspectives, opinions, epiphanies, web nuggets, or quite frankly anything that moves us. Get ready to expect the unexpected. And, don't be shy about sharing your thoughts.
 
 
8/1/07 - On the Other Side of the Survey
I am often asked to participate in customer satisfaction surveys after a consumer transaction such as a purchase, a transaction, a dinner, etc. I'm sure you get many requests as well. I don't know about you but I rarely spend the time to complete a survey because I don't think anyone reads them. I recently completed an online request from a hotel chain. What a pleasant surprise when I received the following from the general manager of the actual hotel:
 
"Thank you for completing our survey regarding your recent stay at our hotel. Your feedback is very important to us. We greatly appreciate that you took the time to respond to our survey. I study every survey to help us improve our customer service and make positive changes. I would like to learn more about your stay when you have the time, please feel free to call me when you have a few moments."
 
This hotel chain has over 500 properties and markets itself as "limited-service." So while we often turn our attention to the four-star establishments for best-in-class examples of great customer service, I think we should also give credit to the businesses that provide the four-star touch especially when it is unexpected. Send me an email if you want to know the name of the hotel chain.
