(phone support?) (in-person support?)<\/p>\n how satisfied or unsatisfied are you with our bookkeeping services? (tax services?) (quickbooks services?)<\/p>\n how satisfied or unsatisfied are you with our client welcome process?<\/p>\n how satisfied or unsatisfied are you with our billing process?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n please list suggestions for improvement on any of the above:<\/p>\n ______________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n is there anything you would like to see more of?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n regarding communications between us, what frequency do you prefer?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n how likely are you to refer others to us?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n if you have specific feedback that we need to correct, please list your name below so we can reach out to you and rectify the situation:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n name ________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n the above questions should give you a good start when putting together your client satisfaction survey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n tools<\/strong><\/p>\n an easy way to send out your survey\u00a0is surveymonkey. it\u2019s free as long as you keep your survey to 10 questions or fewer and have less than 100 responses. even if you need a subscription, it\u2019s only $24 per month and i believe you can cancel anytime. check them out at www.surveymonkey.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n netpromoter<\/strong><\/p>\n it\u2019s worth mentioning netpromoter, which is a client loyalty and satisfaction score you can compute from clients\u2019 answers to the following question, \u201chow likely is it that you would recommend [your company] to a friend or colleague?\u201d the answer is based on a 10-point scale, where the higher the rank, the better the score. you can find out more here: www.netpromoter.com<\/a><\/p>\n be sure to include some version of this question in your survey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" don’t assume you know how they feel.<\/strong>
