When you ask for customer input … do you listen? When you ask for feedback, do you promise to respond?
Take a look at this suggestion form from Whole Foods, there’s a big box labeled “Response.”
I hope they do respond, and I hope they respond publicly — on the same bulletin board where the suggestions are posted by customers.









This is a very good point Andy. As a business, when you ask for feedback, you need a way to acknowledge it, otherwise people stop responding.
How does a company as big as Whole Foods scale their response so everybody that participates feels acknowledged?
