Customer service is the prime agenda of any company dealing beyond client servicing. Customer satisfaction is the motive behind selling, goods, propositions and services. The loyalty of customers can be found in the brands they follow and go back to, every time. This process requires a lot of patience, courtesy and devotion. To keep the feedback coming, most of the companies dealing in customer service, resort to customer experience survey, ask them simple and easy to answer questions that usually take less than five minutes to answer. Thereby, creating a firsthand database of the customer responses and feedback for future references and sometimes immediate purposes. This also, is a form of customer experience management.

Most companies design templates like questionnaire where the customers who have just purchased the goods or services, and politely ask them to either fill in their feedback on the questions provided or simply ask them to either mark them on yes or no basis or mark them on a scale of a set number, for instance, on a scale of 1 to 10. Customer experience is of high importance to every company as they rely ...
... on the return of their customers and are keen on improving the standards of their product or service as per the requirements of the buyers, this is the basic rule of B-C trade.

The companies generally ask questions regarding the customer experience on the whole and how they can improve themselves and what all suggestions can be made. However, specific questions can be made on the basis of what consists of the product of the company, i.e. the questions would depend on the kind of product or service is being provided. Yet, looking at it from the lowest spectrum, we can find some similar type of questions in the customer experience survey seeking, as mentioned above, how the product was? How do the customers find the services? What is the scope of improvement? And what suggestions would the customer like to give?

A sample survey questionnaire can be seen as follows:
• How prepared did you find us?
(Either on the basis of marks on the scale of 1-10 or relative words like very prepared, not prepared, etc.)
• How efficient did you find the services?
• How relevant do you find the product to your requirement?
• Would you recommend our company/product/services to others?
• Help us help you better. In what ways can we improve ourselves? (a small one or two liner sentence is expected.)
• What product or services did you find missing?
• How was the company representative's or the salesman's behavior towards you?
• The company might look for their competitors through the eyes of the customer and not just market surveys, so they may ask questions like-

What are the other brands or stores you look for while purchasing (a particular) product(s)?
• Are you satisfied with our pricing and sales policies?
• How often do you purchase this (a particular) product?
• What is the frequency of renewal of the services you use provided by our company?
