調(diào)研目標(biāo)

你的調(diào)研目標(biāo)是提高銷量還是提升客戶服務(wù)質(zhì)量（improve customer service）？或者為一種新產(chǎn)品摸索市場(chǎng)（right market）？有針對(duì)性地進(jìn)行調(diào)研，收集并整理所得結(jié)果，從市場(chǎng)表現(xiàn)分析內(nèi)在規(guī)律，從而為你的市場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)略提供參考。

決定受眾類型和購(gòu)買趨勢(shì)

雜志、網(wǎng)站或政府報(bào)告定期發(fā)布的消費(fèi)數(shù)據(jù)，可以為你確定目標(biāo)受眾提供線索（clue you in）。明確產(chǎn)品的主要消費(fèi)者框架（market profiles），然后分析以何種方式對(duì)目標(biāo)人群（demographics）進(jìn)行調(diào)研，比如在超市門口發(fā)問(wèn)卷、電話咨詢、網(wǎng)絡(luò)咨詢、發(fā)送信件等。

實(shí)景對(duì)話1

A：We aren't reaching our target audience. We know that from our sales figures.

B：Not necessarily……It's true that our sales figures are down, but how do we know it is a result of our target market showing a change in buying habits?That's why we have to use marketing research.

A：From the marketing research we can see that information?

B：Right！The data reveals what kind of market is the best match for our new product, what our focus area should be to increase sales, how we can improve the quality of our customer service……all these things.

A：So what do we know so far?

B：We know that our consumer approval ratings are higher than last quarter， but the sales are down by 25%. So we wanted to figure out why.We've observed over 100 interactions between our associates and clients.From our observations, we've determined that we have some problems in customer service.I also collected over 500 questionnaires dealing with customer perception of different points of contact.We have noticed some problems with reception.

A：So the problem isn't that we're not meeting our target audience. The problem is that the customer's experience with our service representatives is less than ideal.

B：Exactly. Here are some things we can do to improve.We are starting a mandatory customer service workshop for all sales associates. We'realso taking the time to open a customer service webpage.I'm trying to encourage more feedback from our website.Any ideas?

A：我們沒(méi)有深入我們的目標(biāo)客戶群，通過(guò)銷售數(shù)據(jù)我們就能知道。

B：未必……銷售數(shù)據(jù)顯示滑落是真，但是，我們?cè)趺粗肋@是不是目標(biāo)市場(chǎng)在購(gòu)買習(xí)慣上表現(xiàn)變化而產(chǎn)生的一個(gè)結(jié)果？所以我們必須開(kāi)始市場(chǎng)調(diào)查。

A：通過(guò)市場(chǎng)調(diào)查我們就能看到這個(gè)信息？

B：對(duì)！數(shù)據(jù)揭示什么市場(chǎng)和我們的新產(chǎn)品最匹配，如果要增加銷量我們應(yīng)當(dāng)重點(diǎn)關(guān)注哪個(gè)市場(chǎng)，我們?cè)趺床拍芴岣呖蛻舴?wù)質(zhì)量……所有此類的事情。

A：那我們目前都知道些什么？

B：我們知道我們的客戶滿意度比上個(gè)季度要高，但是銷售額卻下滑25%。所以我們就得找出原因。我們觀察了100多例我們的同事和客戶之間的交流情況，通過(guò)觀察可看出我們?cè)诳蛻舴?wù)上有欠缺。我還收集了500多份調(diào)查問(wèn)卷，了解各個(gè)交流場(chǎng)合中顧客的感受。我們留意到在接待上存在某些問(wèn)題。

A：這么說(shuō)問(wèn)題不是我們沒(méi)有接觸到我們的目標(biāo)群體，而是客戶與我們的客服代表的交流感受比我們理想中的要差。

B：沒(méi)錯(cuò)。通過(guò)一些辦法我們可以提高。我們給所有銷售員開(kāi)展客戶服務(wù)必修講座，還抽出時(shí)間開(kāi)辦客戶服務(wù)網(wǎng)站。我們通過(guò)網(wǎng)站來(lái)鼓勵(lì)更多的客戶反饋。還有什么想法？

實(shí)景對(duì)話2

A：Do we have the numbers back from the analysis of the sales records?

What do the results look like?

B：We've determined which of our products are our most profitable, and we know who our best customers are. With this valuable information, it should be a snap to improve our marketing strategy.

A：What did the focus group come up with?

B：Well, the reaction to our latest advertising campaign wasn't as positive as we had all hoped. We'll probably have to go back to the drawing board withthat one.

A：Maybe that was the problem with the advertisements in the first place.

B：You're exactly right. According to my research, our main demographic is unmarried men over the age of 45. Those ad spots were aimed at families or married people. It's no wonder that they didn't do well with the focus group.

A：You also conducted telephone surveys, right?How did that work out for you?

B：Telephone surveys are not my favorite……but somebody had to do it.

A：So what did you say?“Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”Did you get any bad reactions?

B：Oh, not really. People are pretty nice, mostly.I just ask them what their opinion is of our products and our current advertising. I also ask some basic background questions about their purchasing habits.If I can't find the right demographic, I just thank them for their time and hang up.

A：我們拿到銷售業(yè)績(jī)分析得出的數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)果了嗎？結(jié)果怎樣？

B：我們已經(jīng)明確得知哪些是我們最盈利的產(chǎn)品，也知道了哪些是我們最棒的客戶。這些有價(jià)值的信息將加快改善我們的市場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)略。

A：調(diào)查人群方面有什么結(jié)果？

B：近期的宣傳促銷活動(dòng)沒(méi)有希望的那樣反響積極，我們可能要從頭再來(lái)。

A：也許一開(kāi)始的廣告就有問(wèn)題。

B：你說(shuō)得太對(duì)了。根據(jù)研究，我們的主要受眾是年齡超過(guò)45歲的未婚男性，而那些廣告是針對(duì)家庭成員和已婚者的，難怪在調(diào)查人群中的反響不是很好。

A：你還做電話調(diào)研了，是嗎？結(jié)果怎樣？

B：電話調(diào)研不是我最喜歡的……但是總得有人做。

A：那么你是怎么說(shuō)的？“你是否介意我問(wèn)你幾個(gè)問(wèn)題？”你有沒(méi)有碰到回答生硬的？

B：哦，事實(shí)上沒(méi)有。大部分人都是很好的。我只是問(wèn)他們對(duì)于我們的產(chǎn)品和廣告的想法，另外也問(wèn)些有關(guān)他們購(gòu)物習(xí)慣的基本背景問(wèn)題。如果我沒(méi)有找對(duì)人，我就感謝他們花時(shí)間接聽(tīng)我的電話，然后掛斷就是了。
