Survey Review
Get personalized feedback on your next survey
Conducting surveys and publishing "State of" or trends reports can work remarkably well. Answering your audience's most pressing questions helps them know, like and trust your brand.
And, in the age of AI, it's even more important because you're publishing something new and meaningful.
But, original research only works well if you ask the right survey questions.
I can't tell you how many marketers I've talked to who told me a similar story: "We spent all of this time developing a survey and getting responses, but we didn't learn anything interesting."
Others ask me how to fix a research project after they realized they made mistakes with how they asked survey questions. (Spoiler alert: you can't fix a survey after it's been fielded.)
It's so easy to make unintentional mistakes when drafting survey questions. And the issue is that you often don't see the issues until after you have fielded the survey when it's too late.
If you are conducting research in-house and have a limited budget, the best thing you can do is get help with your survey questions so you can pinpoint opportunities and issues before you launch.
"After years of being a fan of Michele's research, I recently had the opportunity to garner her feedback on a client's research project. And WOW was I impressed! Michele's thoughtful feedback on how to simplify and clarify our questions to better align with the story we want the data to tell was incredibly useful. Similarly, her ideation for how to approach potential answers to ensure we didn't muddy our data, based on her decades of work and assessing her own survey effectiveness, was priceless. I do not hesitate to recommend Michele for her research and research review services."
