Four Common Methods To Solicit Client Feedback
Most nonprofit organizations have a mission to serve specific individuals or groups of people. To hold true to their mission, nonprofits need to make sure that their clients are satisfied with the organization's programs and services.

"To begin, one does not have to be in the throes of a disaster to benefit from my area of practice. While demanding situations in which bridging the chasm between an unexpected outcome and the reality of unrealized results is certainly something for which one becomes known, it is often the ability to see a problem on the distant horizon and structure the appropriate response that has generated the greatest level of client satisfaction. What makes what I do unique is that I am unencumbered by a commitment to promote a particular methodology such as SCOR or Six Sigma because it is either trendy or has been recommended by the latest expert."

Are Your Client Delight Efforts Misplaced?
Doing an excellent job of delivering on a promise of standard, expected, and basic service, according to the article, is much better than trying to over-deliver.

So where should we concentrate our efforts?

Assessing Your Nonprofit's Culture - Seven Questions To Ponder

Over Achievers on the Sales Force - We Have it All Wrong
Believe it or not, our six-year-old son is an over achiever. He has spelling tests each week and his teacher gives the class bonus words for extra points. He loves the bonus words and extra points so much that he has duplicated the process on his math tests. The teacher gives the class 20 math questions each week but (right now they are working on problems like 7 + 4) no bonus questions on the math. Our son takes it upon himself to add 4 bonus questions (he includes bonus questions like 800 +600) because he feels he can do more. This begs the question, how do you measure your over achievers?

The Number 1 Question Can A Consultant Really Make a Difference
Over the past few weeks I have received a spate of questions asking (although some readers have already formed an opinion), what role does an outside consultant really play in an organization? Specifically, what do they do and how can they help me? This is one of those rare instances when I wear the hats of an unbiased and neutral writer as well as a consultant (I write and teach accredited courses for associations such as Purchasing Management Association of Canada or PMAC). While I cannot speak for others, over the next few paragraphs I will attempt to provide you with some additional insight into how I approach my work. Hopefully this will at least begin to paint a clearer pricture and perhaps establish a framework for evaluating your current consulting arrangements to enable you to get more from existing relationships.

The Customer Satisfaction Trap
Most companies that use satisfaction surveys to learn how happy their customers are with their products and services often mislead themselves. What matters is not what customers say about the level of satisfaction, but whether they feel the value they received will keep them loyal. Loyalty or repurchase behaviour is the only true measure of customer satisfaction. As tools for measuring the value a company delivers to it’s customers, satisfaction surveys are not very useful because, amongst other reasons, they focus primarily on transactional issues, such as product quality, deliveries, technical knowledge, hygiene factors, product specs etc. These items are simply the minimum requirements for entry into the market.
