Build Better Surveys
Part 4
by Melissa Krut
Outline for presentation
How to be sure you’ve built a better survey:
• Have you introduced yourself and your purpose?
• Are you getting too personal too fast?
• Are you acting bossy?
• Are you standing up straight?
• Why should anyone believe you?
This is it – the grand finale of
the Build Better
Surveysseries!
Introduction
Part 1 was about survey goals.
Part 2 focused on the right questions.
Part 3 discussed custom design.
Part 4 asks you to check yourself!
Introduction
Ready? Review these 5 questions
to be sure – before you launch!
Introduction
Don’t skip social niceties. Nobody
wants to be interrogated by a
stranger for reasons unknown.
Have You Introduced Yourself And Your Purpose?1
Show some respect. Save
demographic questions for the end.
Are You Getting Too Personal Too Fast?2
Nobody likes being ordered
around. Minimize the mandatory.
Are You Acting Bossy?3
Own the impression you create.
Participants size up your survey the
same way they size up people – why
should they take you seriously if you
don’t?
Are You Standing Up Straight?4
Show, don’t tell. Follow up with Instant
Thanks, share results, take action on
what you learn – and build trust.
Why should anyone believe you?5
Make sure you measure up.
Test internally first, because
every single participant will
test your survey as if it’s the
best you can do. Be sure it is.
Conclusi
on
Conclusion
Harder work means better luck.
Get it together before launching
– your survey will do you proud.
