What do our clients think of us?

Q. How can I find out what my former clients really thought of our work and our service?

A. Important question. If you don't know what your clients think of you it makes your follow up and marketing very difficult. You can ask them, but no-one really wants to tell you anything bad. If they didn't like what you did they just won't call again. I have had much success as an independent consultant, in talking to other people's clients and ferreting out what they really thought. I recommend from time to time getting a third party to do a little research for you. People like to express their opinions and they feel safe using a go-between. It's much easier for them and it gets you honest answers.
