12. AFFILIATE MENTORING & MARKETING|SURVEY

13. AFFILIATE MENTORING & MARKETING|SURVEY
We want to be informed by the affiliates, as we consider future directions. A survey offers key advantages:
1. Uncover the answers. In a non-intimidating survey environment, we can learn about what motivates and what is important to affiliates, and gather meaningful opinions, comments, and feedback.
2. Evoke discussion. We have an opportunity to discuss important key topics.
3. Base decisions on objective information. Conducting surveys is an unbiased approach to decision-making.
4. Compare results. Surveys results provide a snapshot of the attitudes and behaviors – including thoughts, opinions, and comments – about affiliates. This valuable feedback will be our baseline to measure and establish a benchmark from which to compare results over time.
Uncover answers
A non-intimidating survey environment is one that best suits the privacy needs of the survey respondent. Respondents are more likely to provide open and honest feedback in a more private survey method. Methods such as online surveys, paper surveys, or mobile surveys are more private and less intimidating than face-to-face survey interviews or telephone surveys.
2.Evoke discussion.
Give your survey respondents an opportunity to discuss important key topics. Communicate with your respondents about your survey topic. This allows you to dig deeper into your survey, and can incite topics related to your survey within a broader perspective.
3. Objective Info
Don’t rely on “gut feelings” to make important business decisions. You can collect unbiased survey data and develop sensible decisions based on analyzed results. By analyzing results, you can immediately address topics of importance, rather than waste time and valuable resources on areas of little or no concern.
