Customer survey
If you use a customer survey think about the questions you are asking and if they help you identify areas where your firm and its advisers are/are not
treating customers fairly and therefore areas where improvements are needed. This document is intended as a prompt to help you consider how you can
capture fairness as well as satisfaction. A customer may be satisfied with the service but this does not necessarily mean they have been treated fairly.
Question asked... The response…
