 Educational Presentation

Get Your Survey Out of a Rut - Get a Better Survey

Could your survey be tuning customers out? It’s practically a given that every company will issue a customer satisfaction survey. But it’s not a given that every survey will improve customer satisfaction—or even uncover your gaps and opportunities. There is a better way. In this session, participants will see a few mistakes companies commonly make with their customer feedback programs. Then, participants will learn about a 6-step process that leads to truly accurate data and paves the way for positive change.

About the Speaker

Martha Brooke thinks about customer experiences differently: “Experiences can be measured—and measuring is how you improve—but only if your measurement is sufficiently nuanced.” To spread her ideas about metrics to companies everywhere, Martha Brooke founded Interaction Metrics in 2004. Interaction Metrics provides insightful customer feedback and rigorous customer service evaluations. Martha is certified in Blackbelt Six Sigma and prior to Interaction Metrics, worked for two dotcoms (Lucy.com and Food.com). Now, in addition to overseeing client programs, Martha leads top-rated workshops and sessions for National Investment Company Service Association (NICSA), the Score Conference, Customer Solutions Expo, and other professional associations.
