Observation is a technique that involves watching or monitoring how customers perform their tasks or use their products. Surveys are a technique that involves collecting feedback or opinions from customers using structured questions or scales.

Data integrity is the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of data in the pipeline. Data integrity is essential for effective forecasting, reporting, and decision making. A sales representative who works at a heavily siloed company may face challenges in gathering insights for renewals, such as customer satisfaction, usage, feedback, and retention. To improve data integrity in thepipeline working across silos, the sales rep should collaborate with other customer-facing teams, such as service, support, marketing, and product. By sharing information and insights with these teams, the sales rep can gain a holistic view of the customer’s needs, expectations, and challenges, and plan accordingly for renewals. The other options are not effective ways to improve data integrity, as they may compromise customer trust, violate privacy, or reduce profitability. References:
