Among various tips and tricks, he mentioned he makes use of an online survey website to ask his golf group members about important details like what type of sandwiches they want during their stay, what kind of beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages they prefer, and practically anything and everything he needed to know in order to make that the golf trip of a lifetime. Here is part of that online questionnaire right here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 371px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466943184521208050" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KC32zXVxPzY/S9573HihIPI/AAAAAAAAAAk/dgqasSMSu0c/s400/survey+example.bmp" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1418849794841486371-6464548377221246798?l=opti-survey.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://opti-survey.blogspot.com/feeds/6464548377221246798/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://opti-survey.blogspot.com/2010/05/example-of-fun-but-useful-survey.html#comment-form' title='1 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1418849794841486371/posts/default/6464548377221246798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1418849794841486371/posts/default/6464548377221246798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://opti-survey.blogspot.com/2010/05/example-of-fun-but-useful-survey.html' title='An example of a fun, but useful survey...'/><author><name>Catalin Kostea</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12648581192156359487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KC32zXVxPzY/S9573HihIPI/AAAAAAAAAAk/dgqasSMSu0c/s72-c/survey+example.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1418849794841486371.post-7809364279303530788</id><published>2010-05-02T23:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-02T23:58:19.163-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='customer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='surveys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='employee'/><title type='text'>What are surveys good for?</title><content type='html'>If you are the representative of a company which handles hundreds of clients every year, or has more than a few dozen employees, you need to get some feedback in order to optimize your business and increase your company's success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are few ways that employees can speak their mind, and if the working environment is not quite what they wanted, then their production rate might drop significantly, and, consequently, the company's profits would drop too. This is why an employee survey is needed at least once a year, so the manager could see what his people are thinking about, and so he could make the necessary changes in order to have those people be happy at work. Also, when hiring new people, in many cases it's important to know stuff about them that you can easily aggregate through an online survey. In many cases a person's CV is not enough to determine if that person is fit to work at a company or not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, it's obvious that if the users of a service provided by a certain company are not satisfied, they will leave and use the competition's service, and the respective company will suffer. So it goes without saying that customer satisfaction surveys are crucial to a modern company's survival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The situations where you could do the job better with the help of an online questionnaire are numberless, because even if you are organizing a trip with a large group, for instance, it gets much easier to plan that trip if you create a survey where the members of the group state their preferences (what they want for breakfast, what are the things they want to visit in the place they are going, etc).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1418849794841486371-7809364279303530788?l=opti-survey.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://opti-survey.blogspot.com/feeds/7809364279303530788/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://opti-survey.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-are-surveys-good-for.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1418849794841486371/posts/default/7809364279303530788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1418849794841486371/posts/default/7809364279303530788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://opti-survey.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-are-surveys-good-for.html' title='What are surveys good for?'/><author><name>Catalin Kostea</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12648581192156359487</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
