The way I see it, is every little bit counts. Tickets, surveys, customer base etc..
It would be interesting to see the difference between the internal picture (based on current customer surveys) and the picture as revealed by customer reviews freely posted on the web. I recall a hosting company's survey indicating (according to them at least) a 96% "satisfied" customer base. The reviews would seemingly picture something closer to 50-50. I took it as proof that negative customer are more easily prompted, but also as an effect of such a survey not accounting for the customers that have already left the service due to dissatisfaction.

A company must be careful to interpret these surveys correctly.
