Gathering customer feedback from a survey allows you to understand what your customers love and don’t love about your business. Having an open mind while listening to customer complaints will certainly prove beneficial when identifying products or services that could be improved. There’s no doubt that listening to your customers provides invaluable insight but - are they always right?
An Infographic by valpak demonstrates examples of entrepreneurs who succeeded despite initial feedback and provides scenarios of when it pays to listen to your customers and also when it may hold you back trying to please everyone.
