Measuring customer satisfaction enables you to understand customer expectations and identify the areas in which you need to improve your service.

| + | | | − | #Decide what you want to find out. Measuring customer satisfaction could cover a wide range of different areas, so you should start by thinking carefully about what it is precisely that you want to find out. Write down a list of the most important findings you hope to uncover in your research and then organise them in order of importance. This could include:<br><br>[[Image:Prospect-for-Customers-Step-6.jpg|center]]
| + | | | − | #*How satisfied the customer is with the quality of the product they purchased.
| + | | | − | #*How satisfied the customer is with the in-store experience.
| + | | | − | #*What the customer thinks about the pricing policies of your business.
| + | | | − | #*To what extent the customer felt that his needs were fulfilled.
| + | | | − | #Consider qualitative and quantitative approaches. Once you have an idea about the sorts of questions you want to ask, and the kind of information you want to gather, you need to think about what approach to take. You can break down approaches to measuring customer satisfaction into the qualitative and the quantitative.<ref>http://www.powerdecisions.com/FAQ-qualitative-market-research.shtml</ref>[[Image:Do-Qualitative-Research-Step-2-Version-4.jpg|center]]
| + | | | − | #*Qualitative data would include personal, emotional and subjective responses of individuals.
| + | | | − | #*Quantitative data could include of statistical records of how often a customer revisits your store, or how often goods are returned.
| + | | | − | #*You need different surveying techniques to gather these types of data, so think about whether you want to focus on one approach in particular, or perhaps both.<ref>https://www.qualtrics.com/blog/customer-satisfaction-measurement/</ref>
| + | | | − | #Understand the strengths and weakness of qualitative research. Qualitative and quantitative techniques both have specific strengths and weaknesses, so you need to consider what type of data you are hoping to produce. Qualitative information on customer experience and satisfaction gained from interviews or focus groups will help you identify key issues and recurring problems across your customer-base.[[Image:Do-Qualitative-Research-Step-3-Version-3.jpg|center]]
| + | | | − | #*Qualitative research can give you helpful and insightful information about customer perceptions of your business.
| + | | | − | #*You can also get a clearer picture of the expectations customers have and in what way you are or are not meeting these expectations.<ref>http://www.satisfactionstrategies.com/paper1.pdf</ref>
| + | | | − | #*The information will, however, be fairly loosely structured around a few key questions. It can provide you with answers that are open-ended and lack specificity.
| + | | | − | #Consider the benefits and drawbacks of quantitative research. Quantitative research can give you more discreet information and results. It will provide data that is more easily measurable along an objective scale, but will lack the nuance and contextualisation that you get from qualitative research.[[Image:Research-Step-11.jpg|center]]
| + | | | − | #*A survey that has defined answers, such as "agree", "disagree", "partially agree" will provide you with quantitative data which you can collate easily.
| + | | | − | #*Quantitative research is a good way to get a picture of the responses of larger numbers of customers, but the information you gather will be less detailed than qualitative research.<ref>http://www.satisfactionstrategies.com/paper1.pdf</ref>
| + | | | − | #Plan your research. Once you have decided what kind of information you are looking for, you need to carefully plan out your customer satisfaction measurement strategy. You will need to think about what questions you are going to ask and what exactly you are trying to measure. You will also need to think about who you are going to ask, and how you are going to ask them.<ref>https://www.b2binternational.com/publications/customer-satisfaction-survey/</ref>[[Image:Research-Step-5.jpg|center]]
| + | | | − | #*Will you conduct interviews over the phone, face-to-face, or through an online survey?

| + | | | − | #*How will you coordinate your customer satisfaction research?
| + | | | − | | + | | | − | ===Conducting Quantitative Customer Satisfaction Research===
| + | | | − | #Begin with a baseline survey. If you are embarking on a comprehensive review of customer satisfaction, it's a good idea to begin by establishing some baseline figures. Having a clear picture of where you are starting from will enable you to effectively track your progress and improvements over time. A baseline survey will also pinpoint the key areas you need to focus on.<ref>http://www.satisfactionstrategies.com/paper1.pdf</ref>[[Image:Do-Qualitative-Research-Step-6-Version-2.jpg|center]]

You'll have to work hard but trust me Youtube is pretty fun when you're already used to it :).
=== Game testing ===
# Game testing or play testing is where large video game companies employ video game testers, who test games in development and report any problems or glitches they discover.Even though it sounds like the best job in the world, Beware that it's not as good as you think it is.Websites such as The Tough Life of a Games Tester highlight that this is often not particularly well paid, and that you will not be able to play games you actually really like.Beware of this job and bear this in mind as some of the anonymous comments below – before embarking on a job as a "play tester".
#* One tester says: "Imagine your favourite movie. Now take your favourite 30-second clip from that movie. Now watch that 30-second clip over and over again, 12 hours a day, every day for two months. When you've done that, tell me if what you've been doing is watching movies all day."
#* Another complains: "They flat-out tell you that what makes a good employee is the number of bugs you find and it is this number that will determine if you are kept on or not."
=== Unofficial guides or waltroughs ===
# Consider yourself an expert? Websites like Killer Guides allows you to write an eBook which you can then sell. You can also try this on Amazon or your own site but the market on Killer Guides is much larger.Many of the Lord of the Rings game guides – which are often more than 100 pages long, so do not be fooled into thinking it is a quick job – sell for $29.99 (around £18 or £19).
=== Use games as a for your new career ===
# I know this sounds stupid but it could possible work! It is possible to to make a jump from the virtual world to the real world. |
