If you are conducting a focus group, survey, or plan to employ statistical methods, please provide answers to the following questions:


The selection of your targeted respondents

  1. Do you have a customer list or something similar that defines the universe of potential respondents and do you have a sampling plan for selecting from this universe? [X ] Yes [ ] No


If the answer is yes, please provide a description of both below (or attach the sampling plan)? If the answer is no, please provide a description of how you plan to identify your potential group of respondents and how you will select them?


Universe of Potential Respondents: The Commercial Service will compile a list of clients that have received in-depth assistance during the past twelve months. The parameter for defining in-depth assistance is when a client has had multiple interactions with the Commercial Service; including counseling sessions and fee-based service/events.


Sampling Plan: The Commercial Service will employ stratified random sampling to ensure a representative sample of the population is included in the pilot testing of different survey methods (e.g. web-based/email link, telephone interviews, and in-person interviews).

The division of the population into smaller groups or strata will be based on the type of organization, type of industry, and type of assistance provided. Proportionate allocation will be employed to ensure each of the strata is proportional to that of the entire population. Non-response bias will be gauged by systematically employing phone interviews of non-respondents to ask a small number of the survey questions to determine if their answers differ significantly from those who answered the survey electronically.
