Our clients have a new, easier way to talk to each other – and to the firm's support team. Percept Research has [incorporated multiple Get Satisfaction client communities](http://getsatisfaction.com/perceptresearch) as part of the firm's focus on customer-driven innovation. To minimize the number of repetitive support questions, we chose a social support solution that would enable users to see previous questions and answers.  

We have deployed a Get Satisfaction community for each of our larger recurring projects (e.g., Exit survey users have a dedicated community that can be searched separately from Midterm users). These communities are dedicated areas where our clients can exchange ideas, provide detailed input on how to improve our services, and get answers to support questions. This insight allows us to deliver the best user experience possible and plan for future enhancements to our research and consulting services.We have established the following Get Satisfaction communities for our lifecycle studies:

- [MBA Student Entry Survey Community](https://getsatisfaction.com/perceptresearch/products/perceptresearch_mba_student_entry_study)
- [MBA Student Midterm Survey Community](https://getsatisfaction.com/perceptresearch/products/perceptresearch_mba_student_midterm_study)
- [MBA Student Exit Survey Community](https://getsatisfaction.com/perceptresearch/products/perceptresearch_mba_student_exit_study)
- [MBA Alumni Survey Community](https://getsatisfaction.com/perceptresearch/products/perceptresearch_mba_alumni_study)

“Customer insights are central to continuous improvement and innovation in our firm,” said Brian Mahoney, Managing Partner of Percept Research. "Get Satisfaction is a great complement to our end-of-project client surveys. It encourages our user base to provide open and transparent feedback, and we are eager to see how they respond."

Armed with insight gained from user feedback, we can make better-informed decisions about enhancing the firm's offerings. Users can rate Percept Research on a scale of 1 to 10 in each Get Satisfaction community, as well as vote on the ideas of others so the management team can assess their overall popularity. Community content is easily searched through the Get Satisfaction platform, so all content provides long-term value for our client base.  

Customer feedback has been essential to the firm's unprecedented growth in the higher education space. Mr. Mahoney commented, "We expect Get Satisfaction to help our users become even more engaged. It is built specifically to encourage the kind of participation we want as we grow. We believe in continuous innovation and are dedicated to data-driven decision making."
