Sometimes the toughest part of getting customer feedback is knowing what information to collect and what questions to ask your customer.  It’s so tough, in fact, that there are some users who turn into a pillar of salt when confronted with the dreaded — “Create a Survey” button and have to choose “New Survey” to create a survey from scratch.
