Big Idea or Enduring Question:
How do you create a customer-facing survey in Salesforce using out-of-the-box features?
The survey helps you to drive your business forward by using a survey tool to capture the voices and opinions of the people who matter most to you. Some of the common types of surveys are:
- Customer Satisfaction Survey – How satisfied are your customers? This type of survey will allow you to connect easily with your customers and get direct feedback from them.
- Net Promoter Score Survey – The Net Promoter Score survey consists of a two-part questionnaire. The first part asks your customers to rate – the rating question – your business, product, or service on a scale of 0 to 10. The second question is a follow-up, open-ended question as to why the specific score was given.
- Employee Survey – Employees are the most important asset of any company, so their feedback is important. An online survey is a quick, convenient & cost-saving way to do this.
- Product Survey – To make your product the best it can be, it is important to get feedback from your customers. A product feedback survey will provide you with valuable information.
- Market Research Survey – The great thing about an online survey is that you can reach a worldwide audience to maximize the impact of your market research and collect a wide range of answers.
