How much do you know about your sample provider?
April 21, 2016The 2016 edition of the GRIT Report shines a bright light on the massive transformation taking place in the market research industry. The report explores new topics such as the nature of partnership, the use of and satisfaction with panels, the evolution of survey best practices in the mobile age, training resources used by researchers, challenges that are keeping them up at night, and more.
While some of the results are intuitive and expected, others took us by surprise. Related to sample provider satisfaction, there appears to be too many buyers in the industry accepting the status quo resulting in very low levels of customer service. Here are some key takeaways and how the data compares to EMI’s Net Promoter Score (NPS) results with our existing clients.
