How to Get Good Feedback

While compliments are nice, it's important to ask where there's room for improvement.

I read a newsletter from a company called eMedia Vitals which, as you might guess, serves the media business. The content is fantastic. I not only enjoy getting great feedback from NY Report readers, I enjoy giving it as well. 

So I emailed Prescott Shibles, eMedia’s CEO telling him “Just a short note to let you know I think your content is terrific.” His reply was even better; “Thanks so much for your note! I really appreciate it. What could we be doing better?” 

At NY Report we have received so much fantastic praise over the years from readers and clients alike. I am always thankful for it, but I also want to know what we can do better. But I never capitalized on the opportunity to ask when someone gave us praise. From now on, we will – it is a great time to get critical feedback to help us become better.
