Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask only questions you want answers to. Consider open-ended questions. Tailor questions to your customers. Promise to respond promptly.

Answer: You shouldn't feel pressured to bulk up a survey with questions. The more questions you ask, the less likely it is that a customer will finish the survey. As a rule of thumb, ask no more than 10 questions, and preferably fewer. For example, you might only want to know someone's overall experience. In that situation, you can simply ask, "Please rate your overall experience on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 the best." You can glean more information from a customer if you ask questions that can't be answered with a "yes" or "no." For example, don't ask, "Were you happy with your experience?" Instead, you can ask, "What would you change about our business to improve it?" The second question can't be answered with a "yes" or "no." If you use open-ended questions, you must decide where to put them. Some experts suggest putting them at the front of the survey so they are answered first. However, recent research suggests that open-ended questions can make a customer more positive than they normally would be when filling out the rest of the survey. Accordingly, you might want to put them at the end. You'll only waste people's time if you ask a bunch of irrelevant questions. Instead, you can segment your customer base. For example, you don't need to ask recent customers their opinions about your customer support, since they probably haven't used support yet. Segment your customer base any way you want. For example, if you offer many different services, you can segment them based on the service they use. Alternately, you can segment customers based on how long they have done business with you. One reason so few people offer feedback is that they don't really think you care. However, you should assure customers that you will respond promptly if they have a problem. Write, "We will respond ASAP to any concerns." Remember to follow through. You'll harm your business' reputation if you promise to respond promptly but don't.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Build your confidence. Understand your strengths and your flaws. Maintain your efforts to present yourself to others even when you're by yourself. Don't worry about what other people think.

Try to work to improve on the aspects of yourself you don't like. If you feel you aren't well spoken or don't have interesting stories, try reading more and sharing what you learn. If you can't lose weight no matter how you change your diet and exercise, embrace it as a part of who you are, and learn to take pride in yourself. When focused on your own flaws, it's easy to forget other people aren't perfect either. If you actively work to better yourself, people will notice and admire you for it. You aren't always out in the world trying to impress people and make a good impression. Maybe you're at home by yourself, or making a routine trip to the grocery store. Keep these tips in mind during the smallest interactions and make presenting your best self a part of your routine. Compliment a cashier, exercise when you're tempted to watch television, and practice other healthy habits that will pay dividends down the road for presenting yourself to others. Even when you're working to present yourself to others, don't get bogged down worrying about how they'll judge you. Be yourself, and be content with the effort you put as long as you are comfortable with who you are. These changes won't come overnight, so be patient. Remember, while it's important to present yourself to others, it's far more important to present a positive image to yourself. When you're happy with who you are, it shows in the way you present yourself to others, so focus on yourself as the person you want to impress the most.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know your stuff. Get information from students. Create a lesson plan. Practice the problems.

Work through every problem a few times in advance, so you're certain to be able to offer them guidance as they solve the problem. Remember there is often more than one way to solve the problem, so keep track of the student's method and give them a chance to find the right answer. Then, walk them through the simplest way to solve.
