Surveys get prospects involved, give you valuable information, and are often of interest to the media.
Although it often takes an expert to create a good survey, you can make your own survey by following a few guidelines.
- Use yes/no or multiple choice questions. They are much easier to tabulate andpeople can answer them faster. You can use these kinds of questions to calculate percentages.
- Use fill in the blank questions when you are trying to get a range of ideas from prospects and customers.
- Make your questions clear and precise. Vague questions or questions that beg for a certain answer give you unreliable results.
- Limit your survey to just a few questions so people can fill it out quickly. Set a deadline for returning it.
Be sure to release your results to the media in a press release. Media love survey results, even if your survey is small and informal.
