Before long it&rsquo;ll be 7 questions by 5 divisions= 35 questions plus a few overall ones.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to truly understand what people think and to give them a voice, then there&rsquo;s only 3 simple questions you need to ask and you&rsquo;ll start seeing things from their point of view and in their words.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Q1:<\/strong> Whatever you are interested in getting feedback on, simply ask for a rating out of ten.
