Written by three leading practitioners, this fully revised second edition of How to Measure Customer Satisfaction is a highly practical guide to developing and running an effective customer satisfaction measurement (CSM) programme. To be effective, a CSM programme must first of all produce accurate measures - this book takes readers step-by-step through designing and implementing a CSM survey, highlighting blunders that are commonly made and explaining how to make sure that the measures produced are accurate and credible. It also covers ways of gaining understanding and ownership of the CSM programme throughout the organization, the second key requirement for its long-term success. Importantly this new edition now includes a new section on electronic surveys, which are much more prominent now than when the book was first published in 1999.
