The purpose of the General Services Administration (GSA) USA.gov Contact Center (formerly the Federal Citizen Information Centerâs (FCIC) National Contact Center) voluntary and optional customer satisfaction surveys is to measure consumer satisfaction with the service and assess the effectiveness of marketing efforts.
Telephone operators collect responses from telephone customers now, whereas before survey responses were entered by customers using telephone buttons. This has allowed us to follow up-to-date industry standards for survey collection and increases in reliability of data. It has also increased cost. We also integrate survey responses with our CRM data for the first time. This allows us to e-mail survey invitations and combine contact center metrics with survey response statistics in revealing ways. This has also led to an increased cost.
