It’s no secret that good customer service is your best competitive advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are dozens of best practices that help you deliver an exceptional customer experience, from engaging service representatives to fast, mobile-responsive websites<\/a>. But can you precisely define — right now — who your customers are and what they want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not, every ounce of effort you put into product development, service tweaks, and marketing campaigns<\/a> is a blind shot in the dark. Client satisfaction surveys can shed some light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why client surveys are important<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With today’s near-limitless options, if customers don’t feel heard, they simply move on to your competitors. Consumers want companies to adapt to their desires — 79% say<\/a> they’re loyal to brands that show they understand their clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a business, this behavior not only cuts costs — brands spend five times more<\/a> to attract new customers than to retain existing ones — but it also brings in higher profits. Research shows increasing your client-retention rate by 5% can boost profits by more than 25%<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those customers who aren’t happy, only about one in 25<\/a> actually complains to a company. Frustratingly, most people just disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Client surveys<\/a> fill this gap in understanding, helping you take the guesswork out of serving your customers and retaining their loyalty. Fielding client critiques isolates not only where you can make improvements but also where you can double down on what’s working well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building surveys that work well<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While 77% of consumers<\/a> favor brands that seek out their feedback, a survey’s effectiveness comes down to its design. Just like with your products and services, build your surveys with the customer experience<\/a> in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means paying attention to survey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
