Guy Kawasaki on How To Change The World is usually worth listening to, and last week on the AmEx OPEN forum he posted a nice piece called The Art of Customer Surveys. Now, we all know we have to listen to our customers (and equally importantly, potential customers), and we all know surveys are a good way of sounding them out, especially as they're so easy to do. But Kawasaki points out there are many dangers in surveys, not least their self-selecting nature. I don't think these are reasons to avoid doing surveys, but you might want to bear them in mind when assessing results.
