It may be important to know that most average answers have a slightly improved attachment versus average answers that all say-gotten worse. A club could also follow-up a survey six months or a year after the original with a survey using the same service and facility classes but using the answer sequence that tracks improvement. This may be most successfully used when evaluating food and beverage products and services. Survey Sorting Qualifying questions allow the survey to be sorted by groups of respondents. Membership class, age, and number of years in the club seem to be the most common sorts used in the survey process.
Most surveys have a tendency of sorting the information into a variety of groups.
Many times, the work necessary to process the data into small sub-groups goes to waste, as the information is actually irrelevant to the big picture. It is normal for clubs to want to sort surveys by classes or groups. However, when you combine the sorting procedure with the response expectation, the number of expected answers could come from such a small percentage of the membership as to make the answers irrelevant. Most of the larger survey companies package a full array of sorts. The more voluminous the finished product, the more it justifies the fee.
