A customer satisfaction survey is a short questionnaire that measures what your customers think of a purchase or a service: a rating, a recommendation, a comment. It gives a voice to disappointed customers, who most often leave without complaining.

Example questions

  • Are you satisfied with your purchase? (stars)
  • Does the product match the description? (scale from 1 to 5)
  • How would you rate the delivery: lead time, packaging, condition? (matrix)
  • Would you recommend us to a friend or relative? (NPS from 0 to 10)
  • What could we have done better? (free text)

Five to eight questions are enough: the customer answers in under two minutes.

When should you send it?

Right after the experience: a few days after delivery for a purchase, the same day for a service. Through an email campaign to your recent customers (email address already filled in), a link in your emails, a QR code at the counter or on your website.

Calling back disappointed customers

After a low rating, a condition asks what was disappointing, then “Would you like us to contact you?”. A tag on the “Yes” answer and the notification to your team give you the list of people to call back.

For likelihood to recommend: measure and calculate your NPS.
