Begin by developing a Client Satisfaction Survey based on the guidelines and questions below. Personalize it according to what your organization really needs to know at a given time - this will become a regular research tool, so don't worry about asking everything all at once. The Client Satisfaction Survey should be conducted in person - preferably face-to-face. If distance prevents this personal contact, at least conduct the interview over the telephone after sending a copy of the form to the interviewee, so he/she can go through the form with you. By conducting the interview rather than having the client just complete the form, you are giving your client special attention which will leave a positive impression. If the respondent merely completes the form, you are imposing on his/her time for your benefit - not theirs. Personal contact also allows you to \"read between the lines\" and pick up subtleties that would not appear on the questionnaire. Use the interview time to build a relationship with the clients at a new level. Let them know you respect their opinions and value learning from them. Take the time to ask questions that go beyond the formality of the questionnaire to learn about the client's emerging needs, test ideas of new products/services you might offer, and learn about the competition - what are they offering and how your organization compares. Never miss an opportunity to have a client contact - even if the message you receive is negative, the client will know that you care. And don't forget it is also a marketing opportunity. Survey Guidelines A Client Satisfaction Survey should either begin or end with some identifiers, for example: Client name, address and telephone number; The date; Respondent's name and position. Questions should be clear. They should solicit information that will help you better meet your clients needs and desires. They might include:","Client Satisfaction Survey","2",46,"https://templates.business-in-a-box.com/imgs/1000px/client-satisfaction-survey-D1461.png","https://templates.business-in-a-box.com/imgs/250px/1461.png","https://templates.business-in-a-box.com/svgs/docviewerWebApp1.html?v6#1461.xml",{"title":6,"description":6},[170,171],{"label":18,"url":97},{"label":172,"url":173},"Customer Surveys","customer-surveys","client satisfaction survey","/template/client-satisfaction-survey-D1461",false,{"seo":178,"reviewer":189,"legal_disclaimer":176,"quick_facts":193,"at_a_glance":195,"personas":199,"variants":224,"glossary":253,"sections":284,"how_to_fill":335,"common_mistakes":376,"faqs":401,"industries":429,"comparisons":446,"diy_vs_pro":459,"educational_modules":472,"related_template_ids_curated":475,"schema":487,"classification":489},{"meta_title":179,"meta_description":180,"primary_keyword":15,"secondary_keywords":181},"Special Pricing Policy For Repeat Buyers Template (Free Word)","Free special pricing policy template for repeat buyers.

A formal policy creates predictability for customers, sets clear boundaries for sales staff, protects gross margin through approval workflows, and provides the documentation finance needs for period-end reconciliation and audit.\n",{"question":409,"answer":410},"How many pricing tiers should the policy include?","Three tiers — commonly labeled Silver, Gold, and Platinum — cover most B2B use cases without creating administrative complexity. Adding a fourth or fifth tier is reasonable for businesses with a very wide range of customer spend levels, but each additional tier increases the management burden of recalculation, notification, and exception handling. Start with three and expand only when the spend distribution in your customer base clearly supports it.\n",{"question":412,"answer":413},"How should tier thresholds and discount rates be set?","Start by pulling your average order value and gross margin by product category. For each proposed tier discount, calculate post-discount margin on your lowest-margin SKUs to confirm the discount is sustainable. Set the spend threshold for each tier by segmenting your existing customer base — the threshold for Gold tier should be reachable by roughly the top 20–30% of active accounts, and Platinum by the top 5–10%.\n",{"question":415,"answer":416},"What products or orders should be excluded from the repeat-buyer discount?","Common exclusions include already-discounted or clearance items, products subject to manufacturer pricing agreements, orders placed under a separate negotiated contract, and items in active promotional campaigns. Define exclusions by product category rather than individual SKU where possible, as SKU-level exclusion lists become unmanageable as catalogs grow.\n",{"question":418,"answer":419},"How often should customer tiers be recalculated?","Quarterly recalculation using a 12-month rolling lookback period is the most common configuration. It balances responsiveness — customers earn tier upgrades within 90 days of reaching a threshold — against stability, avoiding tier fluctuations from a single large or small order. Annual recalculation is simpler to administer but allows too long a window for unearned discounts to accumulate when spend drops.\n",{"question":421,"answer":422},"Can a customer combine a tier discount with a promotional discount?","Most businesses prohibit stacking a tier discount with a promotional discount unless explicitly authorized, because the combined reduction is rarely modeled in the margin floor calculations. The policy should include a clear stacking prohibition clause and configure any quoting tool or e-commerce platform to enforce it technically — policy language alone is not sufficient if the system allows both discounts to apply.\n",{"question":424,"answer":425},"Who should own and enforce this policy?","Ownership is typically split: the VP of Sales owns tier structure and discount rates, the Finance Director owns the margin floor and audit schedule, and the CRM or operations administrator owns tier coding and system updates.

The account manager should acknowledge the customer's history, explain the threshold clearly, and where possible offer a path to re-qualifying — such as a specific spend target for the next 90 days.

It specifies who qualifies as a repeat buyer, which pricing tiers exist and at what discount rates, who is authorized to approve exceptions, and which products or order types are excluded. Rather than leaving discount decisions to individual sales reps in the moment, the policy creates a consistent, auditable framework that sales, finance, and operations teams can all follow.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Why You Need This Document\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Without a documented repeat-buyer pricing policy, discount decisions default to individual judgment — and individual judgment produces inconsistent margins, customer complaints about unequal treatment, and no audit trail when finance tries to reconcile period-end results. A sales rep who offers a 20% discount to close a deal on a 22% gross-margin product has effectively sold at cost before accounting for returns or shipping. Multiply that across a team of ten reps and the margin damage compounds silently until the monthly P&L reveals it. A formal policy protects the business on three fronts: it sets a discount floor that prevents below-cost sales, it assigns approval authority so large exceptions are escalated before a quote is sent, and it gives customers clear, equitable criteria for earning better pricing — which builds loyalty without requiring individualized negotiation for every account.
