In many instances, the contracted party accepts a number of companies simultaneously, thereby increasing the number of task to be done and employing additional contractual to do the survey. Imagine, for instance, a server does a 10-company survey, each with a minimum of a 1,000, say household to cover with an average 5 persons per survey; you are already talking of about 50,000 individuals to cover. This is a lot of survey! Given the huge number of data gathered, the encoder then segregates the survey on a per account basis and inputs the data one by one into the system. Chances of duplication are greater in this situation. Surveys done usually include names, address, contact numbers, mailing address, area codes, gender, likes and dislikes, income and email address of the person interviewed.
