EXAMPLE INVITATION BRIEF
Help us understand this experience.
Detect information loss when a customer changes account contacts.
- Who should respond
- customer experience and support teams
- When to ask
- Ask after respondents have experienced the specific situation in the first prompt: “Did your new contact understand your current priorities?” Allow enough time after a proposed change for people to experience it before repeating the questionnaire.
Before sending, explain handling, optional participation, and contact details. This example is not sent by the preview.
A worked interpretation example
From a comment to a practical next step.
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Choose an action to test
Create a shared handoff summary with outstanding commitments and a named transition contact.
Check the experience again
After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Illustrative comments report having to explain a previously agreed deadline again. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Did your new contact understand your current priorities? | Short open text | Check whether the receiving contact knows the customer's present priorities, not just the account's history. |
| Which information did you have to repeat? | Short open text | Identify repeated explanations as possible transfer gaps without asking customers to reproduce confidential account information. |
| What would make the transition more reassuring? | Short open text | Find a reassurance that would make the transition usable, such as a clear next contact or meeting. |
| Were outstanding commitments carried into the handoff? | Short open text | Track outstanding promises across the handoff; introducing a new contact does not transfer responsibility by itself. |
| Did you know whom to contact during the transition? | Short open text | Check whether contact routes were known during the gap between account owners. |
Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
Read the answers carefully
What the answers cannot tell you.
Evaluate continuity without inviting personal judgments about individual staff.

A useful starting point
A questionnaire for account handoff.

Set the decision
Write down the decision you want this questionnaire to support: detect information loss when a customer changes account contacts.
Invite relevant voices
Invite people who experienced the relevant situation. Explain response handling and include an optional skip or not-applicable route. Evaluate continuity without inviting personal judgments about individual staff.
Choose an action

Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that account handoff feedback was a completely positive experience?
Did your new contact understand your current priorities?
The initial wording assumes a positive evaluation. The revised question asks about the actual situation so a respondent can describe difficulty, uncertainty, or a different experience.
