5 Benefits of Surveying Your Clients

Asking for feedback isn’t something that comes naturally to many of us. In fact, it can be downright terrifying. What if the feedback is negative? What if you aren’t good enough? What if you find out that your perception doesn’t align with the perceptions of others? These fears are completely normal. But, once you’re able to overcome them and ask for feedback, you can learn some invaluable lessons.


The same is true when it comes to your veterinary practice. Regularly surveying your clients can illuminate your practice’s strengths and weaknesses so you can constantly strive to provide the best experiences for your clients.

Here’s the benefits you'll learn about:

  • Bolstering your team’s confidence by regularly sharing positive feedback

  • Improving your Net Promoter Score (NPS) to increase your practice’s valuation

  • Identifying upset clients before they go online with their grievances

  • Learning from your mistakes and making improvements

  • Getting more positive online reviews
