Why do phone surveys have a low response rate?

Image
Since the beginning, marketers, researchers, and businesses relied heavily on telephone surveys to interview people to gather and understand customer feedback. They used CATI/ phone surveys to gather insights about the customer challenges, expectations, and behaviors to launch or improve products and services in the market. So, what are CATI or Phone Surveys? CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) or phone survey is a method where an interviewer uses a script on his computer screen to interview or collect responses from a participant or a customer over the telephone.  They recorded all the responses within the computer to save time transferring data from paper to digital format.

Image
How’d you feel if you called customer service and they resolved your issue in just 2 minutes? You’ll be content after receiving such a good response. Well, something similar happened to me yesterday.  After a hectic day at work, I ordered my favorite ice cream to make the day a little better. According to the app it was supposed to be delivered within 30 minutes. But neither it was delivered on time nor did the delivery executive take my calls.  But after multiple calls to the delivery exec, when I reached out to the food aggregator, not only did they give me a discount on the next offer; along with the ice cream, they sent me a sandwich (as per my previous orders) for me.  And yes, they apologized for the entire experience. I was overwhelmed. The effort they put in to make me  (one regular customer)  happy left me in awe.  I talked about my experience on Twitter. And not just that, I encouraged my friends to try the ice cream cafe. That’s something CUSTOME...

But there are many kinds of surveys out there. NPS, CES, and CSAT are the most common ones.
