ACSI Benchmark Questions

Satisfaction includes many things. Let’s move on and talk about your overall satisfaction with the SBA’s Disaster Assistance Program loan application process.


First, please consider all your experiences to date with the SBA loan application process. Using a 10-point scale on which “1” means “very dissatisfied” and “10” means “very satisfied,” how satisfied are you with the SBA loan application process?

________________________________________________________________________

Considering all your expectations, to what extent has the SBA’s loan application process fallen short of or exceeded your expectations? Using a 10-point scale on which “1” now means “falls short of your expectations” and “10” means “exceeds your expectations,” to what extent has the SBA loan application process fallen short of or exceeded your expectations?

________________________________________________________________________

Forget the SBA loan application process for a moment. Now, I want you to imagine an ideal process that offers low-interest loans for disaster recovery assistance. (PAUSE) How well do you think the SBA loan application process compares with that ideal? Please use a 10-point scale on which “1” means “not very close to the ideal” and “10” means “very close to the ideal.”

Have you complained to the SBA about the loan application process within the past year?

  1. Yes

  2. No (skip to next section)

________________________________________________________________________


How well, or poorly, was your most recent complaint handled? Using a 10-point scale on which “1” means “handled very poorly” and “10” means “handled very well,” how would you rate the handling of your complaint?

________________________________________________________________________

How difficult or easy was it to make your most recent complaint? Using a 10-point scale on which “1” means “very difficult” and “10” means “very easy,” how difficult or easy was it to make a complaint?

Confidence

How confident are you that the SBA’s Disaster Assistance Program will do a good job in the future providing low-interest disaster recovery loans? Using a 10-point scale on which “1” means “not at all confident” and “10” means “very confident,” how confident are you that SBA will do a good job in the future?

________________________________________________________________________

If asked, how willing would you be to say positive things about the job the SBA’s Disaster Assistance Program is doing in issuing low-interest loans? Using a 10-point scale on which “1” means “not at all willing” and “10” means “very willing,” how willing would you be to say positive things about the SBA?
