<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">One word of advice is to make sure you know what you will do with the info you receive and keep the questions as short as possible. It is tempting to say “wouldn’t
it be nice to know…” but unless you have a use for that info, it is better left off the survey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
