Well, no technique works for everyone.
There's also people like me who never answer questionnaires in form. I don't
want to waste my time, and I dislike helping anyone do a better job of selling
me products. But I expect that I'm an extremist in this, like so many things.
In fact, there's a good case to be made that every questionnaire is hopelessly
biased from the start, because the sample is only taken from those who are
willing to answer questions. Kidnapping people to ask them questions is illegal
for most people in my country, so you do what you can.
