I'm not sure if this has been discussed before or not, I couldn't find it. Does, or has anyone ever handed out or given service evalutions for your customers to fill out for your own marketing info? I was considering making something up and doing this. I thought I'd start it out by thanking the customers for their continued patronage, and letting them know that it was a pleasure serving them. I would then word it something like;

To ensure continued quality service for all of our current customers now, and in the future, we would like to thank you for taking just a minute of your time to complete this survey form.
Then I would ask them, maybe with a score range from 1 to 5 (simply check the right box) different categories.

1. Quality of workmanship for turf care operations.
2. Quality of workmanship for trimming, pruning, and bed care.
3. Appearance of service representatives (or yourself) when servicing your property.
4. Is work done in a professional, timely like manner?
5. Dependability and completing work on a relatively close schedule. (Also considering rain and weather setbacks)
6. Would you recommend us to friends or family for service? (Yes No)
7. Are their any services that you would be interested in that have not been offered by our company? If so, what services would you like to see?
8. Have their ever been any questions or problems that have went unaddressed? (Yes No)
9. Do you feel that your overall service was personalized and tentative to your needs?
10. Would you like us back next season?

If you have any questions and/or additional comments, PLEASE, we ENCOURAGE you to write them on the back of this form, or just let us know.
Thank you for your consideration, and if there is anything we can do to make our service more (help me out, give me a word!) to/for you. Please feel free to let us know.

Sincerely,

Owner/Manager

What do you guys (and ladies) think? Is this a feasible thing to do?:blob1:

Why do this survey? We did one about 10 years ago and for a time also included check offs in our invoices and about all we gotr back was good responses.

Personally I think that stuff is overrated unless your very new and unsure and making some mistakes or having some operational difficulties your somewhat aware of and are trying to pin down.

Surveys get old and are boring. Everytime you buy something and fill out a warranty card you fill something out.

If people like you they keep you and if they don't they let you know or fire you and you'll figure out for yourself what your doing right and wrong. Listen, they'll tell you by keep buying or canning you.

At a LC I used to work at we sent them out three times per summer. We had 15 employees at the time so we would have a contes to see which crew could get the best responses. They were similar to the two posted. I have not done this myself but when I have employees I will.
