September 2008

Bristol accountants Jeremy Floyd Associates engaged CSM for their yearly customer survey.  Following the results founder Jeremy Floyd said,
"I would like to thank you for the excellent customer research survey you have recently performed for my business, Jeremy Floyd Associates.

Like many small business owners I was a little cautious about how useful a survey could be, and how effortlessly the process would be carried out. I was a typical skeptic, believing it would probably only tell me what I already knew about the way customers saw my business, and I suspected it would take up a huge amount of my time to implement.

I was wrong on both counts. I had to spend very little time in gathering the basic customer contact information for you and you did the rest. Your method of communication to the customers must have been slick and very friendly as the customer response rate was huge compared with industry norms.

The research output was clear and concise and just what I wanted. Your results provided me with valuable insights into the extent to which services provided by my firm matched the expectations and requirements of customers. As an added bonus I received a number of referrals that customers were invited to volunteer as part of the survey process.

Thank you again for a job well done. I would not hesitate to recommend your Survey in a Tick to business colleagues."
Jeremy Floyd
