Creating Surveys

Create Surveys to gather personal feedback from prospects and customers at any stage of the sale or service. Keep your finger on the pulse of your client base and gain insight whenever you like. You can customize and automate Surveys to send them out when certain specifics are met, for example, two days after the sale or immediately after the customer emails support.

Analysis of the Survey data helps businesses make more informed decisions to drive the business forward.
