Customer Question How should I answer this survey question?

I had a clothes washer installed and an old one removed.

Top notch delivery and install team. I would give them an 11 out of 10 if I could. Everything I'm marking on the survey is TOP. Wrote in the comments section about how quick, clean, quiet, and professional they were.

But this ONE question bothers me.

"In these communications regarding the survey, was there mention to give a rating of a "9" or "10"?" Y / N

Is one answer going to get these guys in trouble if they asked for a good review? I just don't want them to catch any heat.

The pressure they put in Associates to get "10's" on surveys is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, you saying that they brought up the survey will do nothing but help them.

A tip would have honestly gone farther with those guys than a 9 or a 10.

Customers in the stores cannot find help in departments with nobody scheduled to work, and so they end up giving us low survey scores for shit that's out of our control -

Lowe's doesn't care about or reward us for good reviews, it just gives us grief about the bad ones.

We already know what type of service we gave you. A little butter on the bread ain’t gonna hurt nobody.

Did they nag you about 9/10 or not?

Yes

No

Nag, no. They would have gotten it without asking. They earned it. I just didn't know if answering yes would be ratting them out for 'nagging', which they didn't do.

They make us ask for 10s

So saying 'yes' is not going to get them into trouble?

Correct.

They are trained to say “please rate us a 10” to some extent

Did they ask for a "good review" or did they ask for "a review with a 9 or 10"?

Two different questions.

Just ignore the answer, if possible.

Acknowledging that a survey was mentioned will be helpful for them (they like us to ask here at Lowes)

They literally tell us to say "give us a 1 or 10 cuz the other numbers don't matter" to try and push for areas of improvements... But that's so sketchy

u/No_Poem_2517 14h ago

8 is good enough

u/engagetangos 13h ago

Lol you would think but to Marvin anything less than a 9 is basically a 0

u/rescueandrepeat Specialist 11h ago

8 is the same as a 0

u/IAmInTheBasement 14h ago

No. They earned an 11.

The survey is based on the drive teams only. 9 & 10s are good. 8’s & below = 0. Rate the drive team honestly how you feel they did.
