Managing the Reputation of Your Event
Overview
Roberta Meier, a Consultant in Quality and Customer Service, frequently attends seminars and workshops as a Mystery Shopper. While evaluating the delegate experience, she also tests how diligently event organizers seek her honest feedback on their reputation.
When organizers finally reach Roberta, how do they actually measure their reputation?
Gathering Genuine Feedback
The simplest way is through event evaluation forms and post-event surveys. Remember, this isn't about popularity?"it's about gathering accurate insights.
If your surveys request numerical ratings, calculate the average by adding all scores and dividing by the number of respondents. Also, examine the range of results. Small clusters of very high or low scores can skew the average. Focus on the opinions of the majority (about 60%) to find the true average.
Minimizing Stress
Identify which aspects of the event were most stressful for you, your team, and the delegates. Although managing events will never be entirely stress-free, poor planning or ill-prepared staff can lead to unnecessary stress. Reflect on the event and pinpoint situations to avoid in future events. Use a cause-and-effect analysis to identify root problems and create an action plan to prevent recurrence.
Example:
- Issue: Guest speaker arrived late.
- Cause: Last-minute flight due to a rail strike.
- Mistake: Tried to save costs by avoiding an overnight stay.
- Solution: Arrange accommodations for guest speakers the night before.
- Issue: A delegate left due to an allergy to marker pen solvent.
- Cause: Needed flip charts that only had solvent-based markers.
- Oversight: Allergy was not disclosed or asked about.
- Solution: Use water-based markers and update registration forms to inquire about allergies.
Enhancing Customer Satisfaction
Customer feedback can sometimes be challenging, but a proactive approach allows you to engage with the 60% of delegates who might struggle to voice their concerns. By listening carefully and addressing their issues, you can often win back their confidence and prevent potential damage to your reputation.
