Leveraging a third party delivers more accurate survey responses.
In terms of customer feedback, research consistently shows that using a neutral third party survey method yields more candid, reliable responses compared to surveys sent directly by the company
When people know the company will directly see their responses, even if anonymous, they may sugarcoat negative feedback or avoid criticism
Studies demonstrate that when customers are surveyed by a neutral third party, they are less likely to tailor feedback to please the company, reducing social‑desirability bias
Third party responses generate more responses. Perceived neutrality increases trust. Respondents are more willing to participate when they believe the survey is conducted impartially
