This is a tool that summarizes the item.
I think you can also organize ad hoc meetings on a certain base ( twice in a year) to speak vis a vis with customer on few but vital topics, I mean customer requirements, on time delivery, costs, innovation , continuous improvements.
However , at the end you will be always be rated with a certaon grade based upon objective evidences.

Trade fairs have always been a plus for info for our organization... management accompanying the salesman on periodic visits is also a plus....

Can you explain a bit more about what your company does and who your customers are? For example, do you have many or just a few? Are you providing products or services or both? Do you repeatedly sell to the same ones, or are you constantly having to find new ones? etc etc.

In the businesses I've been in I've found surveys to be pretty useless becuase the people filling them out are usually the purchasing people who only have an eye on delivery time and price - which is valuable information, but hardly the whole picture.

I think it's equally valuable to get in to the customer's operation and talk to the incoming quality staff and/or the people using the product on the production lines. Talk and take notes. Subjective data is still data that can be used for improvement.

If you tell us your business we might have more specific suggestions.
