Recessions tend to bring out the worst in business people… They tend to retrench, over-correct, and try to cost-cut their way to prosperity. In fact, economic pull-backs present the most opportune times to act for the long-term, and steal market share. The main problem is that it takes nerves of steel to force yourself to make some of those long-term decisions.

We all like positive feedback. It's natural to feel good when someone gives you a pat on the back. In business, that feeling is extrapolated ten times. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a satisfied customer telling you how perfect their stay was and that they want to come back. And for good reason – the more positive feedback you get, the more customers you'll keep for life, and the more revenue they'll bring.

Most customers today have completed satisfaction surveys at the request of a firm they've done business with, only to have that company ignore the feedback it requested. The risk of doing so—of not using that insight or following up to say how the feedback was used—is to alienate the customers you need most: those who are engaged enough to share their opinions and suggestions.

When you run a national restaurant chain with 187 locations, keeping each customer happy and loyal can be daunting. How do you know if the salad bars in your New York location are well-stocked, or if the steaks in a Florida spot are hot enough? Sizzler, the buffet-style restaurant chain, decided the best way to find out is to ask the people who really care: the customers.
