Response rate is part of the score

A strong score on a tiny sample is a story, not a measurement.

Short pieces on surveys, go-live, and the front door. Examples in these notes are illustrative. They are not a client’s results.

Who answers first

Unhappy customers answer first. Imagine a flattering CSAT sitting on a two-percent sample. That number will not survive a second look. Treat it as an illustration of the trap, not as a result from this site.

Design moves participation more than another reminder email: length, timing, and who the message is from.

Participation is a KPI

Short surveys, close to the interaction. Measure response rate beside the score, not in a footnote.

Bring a problem

Tell me where customers are waiting.

A short note is enough: what is breaking, what you have already tried, and what a good month would look like. If I am the wrong person, I will say so.
