Write an article based on this "Obtain demographic data from each respondent. Thank your respondent. Analyze your performance."
This is often the last step in a telephone survey. While it is often optional, it's typically very useful because it allows the data to be coded more accurately. Demographic data includes gender, age, political affiliation, religious affiliation, gender identity and ethnicity. It's very important to thank your participant for their time and effort. Aside from common courtesy, thanking your participant is key to the overall success of the survey. Many phone surveys are recorded for quality purposes, so it's important to follow all the steps and conclude the survey properly. You might ask your respondent something like, "Do you have any suggestions for how I might improve this survey?" This lets the respondent know that you value their opinion. Be sure to let them know you're grateful for their feedback. After you've ended the call, take stock of how the survey went and what you could do to improve. Check the time to see if you stuck to your schedule and communicated the questions efficiently. Conduct a mini survey of yourself by asking questions about your performance and responding as honestly as possible. This will help you improve as an interviewer while you practice for your next survey.
