PDG Defined Passive Data Gathering – Customer initiated feedback on performance.
Three Components to PDG • Mechanism for Feedback • Feedback Loop • Corrective Action
Mechanisms for Feedback • Complaint Cards • 1-800 number or hotline • Electronic form on the company website • Email address for customer feedback
Corrective Action • Have procedures in place to implement changes to correct gaps in customer service.

Customers Only! • Data is limited to only customers.
Real World Examples • Dairy Queen Example • BestWebBuys.com example
Dairy Queen • Fast-food Franchise • The store surveyed did not have comment cards • The Website had a form for feedback • The form was long and required too much personal information
BestWebBuys.com • BestWebBuys.com is a shopping service website – Shopping bot • Passive Data Gathering on vendor timeliness and service • Data is made available to users of the service
Brainstorm • How can Passive Data Gathering be implemented at your firm? • What medium to use for feedback? • How will feedback get to managers? • How will corrective Actions be implemented?
Summary • Low Cost way to gather customer feedback • Must have Feedback loop/Corrective action to be effective • Keep feedback questions short and simple
