Managing
Pain Points
- We pay attention to screening-between-the-lines to give you the best mix of respondents.
- We will never whinge (openly) about your insanely narrow specs but will tell you honestly what we think is achievable from the outset.
- We like to maintain a 2-way dialogue with you and like to think we can add some value to the process based on our experience.
- We understand the value of pre-tasks, but we’re not fans of asking CFOs to complete a collage.
- We know that you’d like us to recruit 1 in 5 from your customer list, but we will tell you a more realistic strike rate when you brief us.
- We won’t keep you in the dark – but will give you regular updates on how recruitment is going. If we can’t resolve any unforeseen problems we will discuss options openly with you.
- We know that some of our carefully selected recruits will have an unforeseen medical or mechanical emergency on the night of the group and will always recommend an appropriate over-recruit.

I have always felt valued as a participant in the studies conducted by Research Connections. As I am opinionated and… forthright, I often offer alternative viewpoints that hope to broaden perception and significantly contribute to the research. I find the integrity and professionalism of the entire team, at Research Connections, to be of a high standard. Whilst the topics continue to be relevant and current that focus on a commitment to the importance of research groups.read more

I was doubting the legitimacy of this company BUT after I attended the first research session in city, I found they… are doing something good. 😀 We were able to discuss most interest things about the early-stage development of a new financial product. 2-hours past quickly with others. Light food and drinks are provided which is really sweet. Got the payment right after the session. I would like to go another day again 🙂read more

At first I was not certain or confident this was a legitimate company and spent some time researching their background… and reading comments from others who had participated in research interviews. All the comments I read were positive and led me to believe this was an above board company. I have participated in one research interview and found it to be a professional and well organised process. The interviewer was skilled at making me feel comfortable and ensuring the process allowed me time to think about my answers, rather than feeling rushed. The payment for the interview was made very promptly. I would be happy to participate again in the future.read more

The focus groups can be really interesting and even educational as they can be on a range of things that will naturally… be relevant to you. Ones I’ve been to are always well run and of course it’s a good little income earner as well. Good to take part in and probably quite valuable to provide feedback on goods and services you use.read more

Had a great experience with Research Connections. Called me at the exact time they had specified. I completed the… 45min interview which was no worries at all. Questions were based around my own experiences. Then the $100 was in my account the next day. Would happily do more research interviews for this company.-Rileyread more

I’ve completed a variety of research projects (interviews, online surveys, groups discussions) for this company over… many years. Maybe one or two each year. Have to say they are always professional and a pleasure to deal with. I’ve enjoyed the topics that have been discussed and always come away learning something new. Plus you get paid for your opinions etc. Happy to recommend them.read more

Genuine research on a wide & very interesting range of topics. All thoughts are encouraged with very active… participation from everyone in attendance, who are from a wide distribution of participants. Thoroughly enjoyable & an added benefit is the tax free renumeration. I have been very happy to participate in 3 surveys in the last couple of years & unfortunately I have been declined once as I didn’t fit the selection criteria for the particular survey. I would recommend participation & registration to all; and you meet some amazing people with varying opinions.read more

The survey was legitimate and seemed to be for a political party locally. We were the last session so there were time… constraints which could have been better managed and if they had been would have allowed for better quality answers via more discussion time. I felt better value would have been obtained by having participants document their feeling rather than having discussion manipulated or truncated by the presenter. I think there would have been more value to the client by having a less time pushed arrangement. Whilst I am not a supporter of the obvious client I respect that they have paid to have a valuable outcome for their money.read more

It is focus groups for big corps trying to understand consumer thinking. There’s no selling or anything like that. All… they want is your honest thoughts. The research i did was interesting, well run and well remunerated. I had to admire the facilitator who got through a lot of issues and questions at a cracking pace without cutting people off. It was interesting to hear the views of the other people in the group.read more

I attended few research topics in the past year with research connections. Interesting discussion sessions. They… carefully select the eligible candidates for particular topics so you do need to fill a short survey. Sometimes you would get message straight away showing you are not eligible this time, sometimes it shows they might contact you later, which is normal. I registered my interest and always answer the short survey and get selected to participate the discussion on average every 3-6 months. They would provide soft drinks and light refreshment during the session, and cash reward vary from the topics.read more
