Well-Designed surveys may help to find loyal customers

The problem that most companies face is how to conduct surveys and do it properly. First of all a company need to understand how to quantify, track and measure customer satisfaction. Without a clear knowledge of what exactly to measure, how to collect data for it, analyse and use that data for prosperity of business; the whole labour will go to vain.  Well planned methods to measure customer satisfaction can lead to profits in business.

They listen through sales representatives whether there are any problems or complain of customers regarding a product or service.
