TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

[00:27] Today’s Topic: The Best Way to Survey Your Audience
[00:35] There are two types of data: quantitative and qualitative.
[00:45] Google Analytics tracks quantitative.
[00:56] Over 95% of your traffic (and maybe more) don’t convert. Why?
[01:10] The Google numbers won’t tell you. You have to talk to your customers through phone, email, and text.
[01:20] Surveying is qualitative data. When combined with quantitative, you will be able to greatly improve your business.
[01:44] Eric was recently reading the blog “Wild Audience”. The site surveyed him.
[02:00] The questions he answered were a way to qualify visitors and segment them into the right campaigns.
[02:40] Survey Slam was recommended by “Wild Audience”. It’s a WordPress plugin that costs $97 for the developer license.
[03:10] You leave money on the table by not putting people into the right classification.
[03:18] Don’t ask too many questions at once and make sure they aren’t biased.
[03:40] Make sure your questions are open-ended, so you don’t accidentally bias the survey.
[04:22] You can use a word cloud to combine your qualitative feedback.
[04:29] From there, you can look at what the commonalities are and make decisions based on the insights you gain.
[04:49] When people are done with the survey, make sure to show them a Thank You page that will drive a conversion.
