Exit Interview
Measure experiences with Exit Surveys and Interviews
What Are Exit Interviews?
An Exit Interview is a method of collecting feedback from a customer after departing a specified location, event or after an experience. Their main goal is to collectively generate thoughts and opinions on a topic, such as an experience they have just had at a location they have just visited.
The interviews are typically done in person, but can be conducted by telephone or digitally. They tend to combine a mix of both closed and open-ended questions to allow real issues to emerge.

Why do Exit Interviews Work?
It is about developing knowledge. Using researchers trained to produce insights that can drive success within businesses. Companies can use the results and analytics from research companies like Vision One to understand why consumers stay or leave, what captures their attention, and how they feel overall, to drive the right level of change for the brand.
The interview can take place from a Face-To-Face conversation, a questionnaire on a tablet, a survey afterwards or a combination of all. We believe that when questioning minute details such as the advertising and marketing they saw in a store or the decisions that made them pick one product over another, the survey needs to be completed as quickly as possible so that the participants do not forget, which is where in-store Exit Interviews work strongest. If it is just about if they are satisfied with their purchase or the brand, then the information you have from their purchase, such as email addresses, allows you to create satisfaction surveys that can be sent out a few weeks after any shop entry.
If the study is amongst staff, you can reveal any pain points they may have with the decision-making process, a lack of skills, or problems your organisation faces without their knowledge. By having customers or employees highlight these issues, you can move to develop new platforms, processes, or products that enhance your brand and create bigger, better opportunities for success for years to come.
Our incredible feedback
We have appreciated the professional and efficient work of Vision One and the extremely informative outcomes
Working with Vision One was a brand new partnership for us this year, but we were impressed from the very start with their collaboration, support and professionalism in helping us to develop our B2B satisfaction survey.
Vision One were an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a strategic thinking market research agency. They had great client relations, they bought creative ideas to the table, and delivered on the strategic insight we needed.
It was a pleasure to work with everyone at Vision One, they truly felt like an extension of my own team, and they made what could have been an extremely stressful project feel safe and in control – for that I cannot thank them enough.
Vision One provided a very clear strategy following the brief we provided and delivered brilliantly on it within cost and time limits. They very quickly felt like part of our team
Easy to work with and took the time to understand our business and what we needed. Delivered the brief on time with a detailed piece of work and were responsive to changes along the way. I would happily recommend them!
Thanks for a stimulating debrief and a wealth of insight that will continue to keep us in tune with the UK beverage consumer and what they want from our products
