This webinar is open to Growth Members only. Learn more and sign up for Growth Membership.
Customer service remains a great way to differentiate your business, to innovate and to improve products and services. Getting customer feedback is, however, an art.
Join us on 27 March when Kate Tribe of Tribe Research hosts a Masterclass on how to design effective customer feedback surveys.
During this one-hour interactive sessions, we’ll look at:
- The Survey is part of a feedback cycle. How to have a clear aim and develop a communications strategy around it.
- Utilise with whole business. Identify the existing data that you can utilise to increase the value of your survey for your business.
- Do a brand check with your survey. The survey is a communication and feedback tool. What does it say about you and your business?
- Some key questions that are good to ask customers.
- How many participants do you need to get started?
- The basics around incentives. What works and what doesn’t.
Submit your customer service feedback survey for review during the session.
What is a Masterclass?
Masterclasses are small-group sessions that focus on specific member issues and offer practical advice in a hands-on way. Masterclasses are one of the many benefits of Growth Membership and are often conducted by other Growth members who are experts in an area that is needed and wanted.

Entrepreneurs’ Roundtables February 2012 – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane
December 22, 2011

Facilitated Session for Growth Members
These events are open to Growth Members Only. Learn more about Growth Membership.
Australian Businesswomen’s Network Growth Members are invited to attend the next quarterly Entrepreneurs’ Roundtable. This facilitated session is an opportunity for women to address and discuss business issues and to focus the direction of their business development.
The Entrepreneurs’ Roundtables are facilitated to bring to light key issues to be brainstormed and are forums for business brainstorming, collaboration and shared experiences.
We believe that nobody understands the issues faced by business owners more than others that ‘walk in their shoes.’ Meeting content focuses on strategic input into the member businesses and varies depending upon their interests and needs between Roundtables. You’ll have the opportunity to bring up ‘burning’ issues to be discussed.
The Roundtables provide a confidential, non-competitive environment. Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis and places are limited.
Want to Attend the Roundtables? Not a Growth Member?
Learn more and sign up for Growth Membership.

MentorNet will help you get there!
Consider the Top 10 Benefits of the MentorNet mentoring and training program for businesswomen:
![]() |
Comprehensive Training in Core Business Skills |
|
Over a six-month period (with a small time commitment of 1 to 2 hours per week), you will learn the core skills required for growing your business, including Business Planning, Finances, Marketing, Human Resources, Information Technology and Business Performance Management. |
|
![]() |
A Detailed Business Plan |
|
Whether you already have a business plan or need help in formulating one, by the end of the program you will have a detailed plan that has been analysed and revised based on input from several trusted professionals. |
|
![]() |
Mentor and Peer Support |
|
Over a six-month period (with a small time commitment of 1 to 2 hours per week), you will learn the core skills required for growing your business, including Business Planning, Finances, Marketing, Human Resources, Information Technology and Business Performance Management. |
|
![]() |
Increase Confidence |
|
For many participants, the most valuable benefit of MentorNet is their increased sense of confidence as a business leader. Although it’s normal for novice businesswomen to second-guess their daily decisions, a lack of self-confidence often hinders progress. With the clear direction and assurance provided by MentorNet, you can forge ahead with confidence. |
|
![]() |
Maximise Profit |
|
A line-by-line review of your budget will eliminate waste and maximise profitability. And don’t worry about privacy when it comes to your budget; all mentors sign a confidentiality agreement. What happens in MentorNet stays in MentorNet. |
|
![]() |
Overcome Obstacles |
|
Sometimes all it takes is a fresh point of view to solve long-standing problems (and sometimes we don’t recognise our problems until others point them out). Expert advice from industry leaders and experienced mentors will help you to overcome all obstacles to business growth. |
|
![]() |
Never Leave Your Desk |
|
The pioneering MentorNet program was designed for your convenience. Using our innovative web applications, you can view presentations and webinars, interact with mentors and peers, and advance through your training modules — all from the comfort of your home or office! |
|
![]() |
Cutting-Edge Technology |
|
As long as you have the Internet, then you’ll have access to our interactive webinars, teleconferences, and MentorNet resources (templates, checklists, private MentorNet website) that will keep you up-to-date on best practices in all areas of business. |
|
![]() |
Community Building |
|
Collaboration is key to MentorNet. You will not only collaborate with your mentor and peers, but you will also become part of a larger community of like-minded businesswomen. Many participants leave the program with invaluable contacts for future vendors, employees, or partners. MentorNet makes networking easy. |
|

Prepare for Growth |
|
MentorNet is much more than a guide for establishing your business. Growth is the goal. By the end of the program, you will be ready to take your business to the next level! |
|
