Tips for good success results
In this article I will talk about research. Here’s how to find them, how to do them, and how to make the most of your results. Here. …
1 – Define your goals
What is your reason for doing research?
You can get your customers’ opinions about products and services, show them that you care, or find out what keeps them up at night. (Or something in between…)
Before you start, make sure you are clear about what you want to achieve. So make sure that every question in your quest brings you one step closer to your goal.
2 – Choose a research company
You can write and submit your own research, or (more easily) use one of the many companies that provide research services.
These services are available at different prices (from free to very expensive) and with different features (from basic to advanced).
What’s on the internet, to find out what’s out there and what’s relevant to what you do. In your search you may look for:
www. Economic Affairs survey. related to
www. zoomerang related to
www. vote communication
or my favorite www. research. communication
3 – Keep it short
We often ask survey participants to do us a favor by participating in surveys; although the information we collect will help them in the long run.
So respect their time by keeping your survey short (10 questions or less unless necessary) and easy to fill out and return to.
Easy to complete, you can get more results.
4 – Mixing
Automated surveys offer a wide variety of questions, including:
to choose from Choose one or more from
lists
fill in the blank(s).
ratings from 1-5 (or similar)
open questions and text box fillers
Try to vary the format of your questions to keep them interesting. Many of the essay questions often seem too difficult for interviewees. Conversely, multiple choice questions can be a bit boring.
5 – Go away
Sometimes you want to limit your search to a specific group: your customers, people who bought your book or participated in a particular communication, your subscribers, etc.
You will often find results for a large number of people, such as self-employed people over 50 or all educators in North America. In this case, you can send an email survey to your list and ask recipients to send the survey to everyone they know who fits your category. (You want to give them a good reason for this!)
6 – Create lessons
One of the great things about most surveys (Survey Monkey is a good example) is that you can log in and see the results as they are entered.
Here’s why it’s important: If the results you’re searching for don’t answer your questions the way you expect, you have the option to update your search. Repeat the question. .. replacement with a new one. .. change the program. .. add something you learned to the feedback. ..add anything you forgot.
Log in, see what’s going on, and make course corrections if necessary.
