Market research has rightly evolved as an integral part of business strategy. Its scientific approach in understanding the volatile nature of the market is an attempt by companies to get some direction. Apart from gathering and analyzing information, market research also attempts to shed some light on the customer personality, spending habit, and location.
Needless to say that accuracy is key for market research to have any value. And that is also one of the first things that you should look for in a transcription company that you hire for transcribing your research material. What should be the other pointers? Read on to find out.
Timeliness: Respecting deadlines is important, no matter what you do. It might become crucial for things that are deadline-driven. Apparently, the process of market research is a long one and it might seem that fast turnaround of transcription is not super-important. But you may be mistaken. Depending upon the stage of the research a fast transcription might be indispensable. For instance, if a particular product is near completion, the business might want to get the market research result in real time rather than wait for weeks for the final report. In such challenging situation, time is of utmost importance.
Quality: This goes hand in hand with accuracy. Look for a transcription service that offers quality check at every step. At Scribie, we do.

I couldn’t agree more when you said that time is of the essence when it comes to looking for a transcription service to provide you with a detailed information of your research within the set deadline. It makes sense to me because there are different areas of research that you might want to go over in order to proceed with the rest of the projects so it is vital that those information will be handy as soon as it’s needed. This sure is something that I will keep in mind as soon as I hire a transcriber to effectively jot down all the details needed in my needs analysis soon so I can review and finish my report within the deadline set by my boss.
