Practical answer: Business feedback that supports a change
Ask one focused question about the enquiry process, brief or follow-up. Invite an example without requesting unnecessary personal information. Separate a comment about a process from a broader claim about the business. Record the suggested change, who will assess it and when the result will be reviewed.
General feedback such as “communication could improve” rarely identifies the next useful action. A September 2025 review can ask business contacts about the parts of a conversation they could or could not understand.
Context for the period
The RBA’s August 2025 overview described easing inflation, recovering private demand and an outlook that remained uncertain. Read the contemporary RBA overview.
An illustrative example
A hypothetical contact explains that a response listed several attachments without saying which required review. The business tests a clearer cover note that identifies the relevant document and question. It then checks whether subsequent recipients understand the requested action. Small, specific feedback can guide a proportionate improvement without turning an opinion into a testimonial.
Three points to take into the conversation
- Ask for a specific example
- Choose a proportionate change
- Review what became clearer
Before progressing the conversation, check that the purpose, current information, responsible contact and next review date are clear. For a corporate-information, supplier or partnership enquiry, contact EJN Services through its own enquiry route.
