Creating a Survey

There are 3 main steps under CX, creating a suitable survey, receiving responses from your audience and taking action on the feedback received. These steps involve many different teams from within an organization and hence is a very complex process.

We’ve simplified this by dividing the process in 5 different stages namely:

1. Build

2. Share

3. Integrations

4. Report

5. Text Analytics

These different stages are followed in the respective order and need to be looped back for efficient implementation.

Let’s start with the Build section.

Adding Questions and Question Types

A drop-down menu will appear, where you can scroll through all the question types available.

The following question types are available on SurveySensum:

To know how and when these questions are used, click on them in the above list.

After adding a question to your survey, you can edit the text directly in the question tab. On the bottom right of the tab, you will see the following:

• Drag and Drop button - to change the order of questions in a survey.

QUESTION SETTINGS

The question specific properties are mentioned along with the respective questions.

WELCOME SCREEN

To ensure that your respondents start your survey with something great you can add a welcome screen. The welcome screen will help engage your respondents and let them know about you. You can add images, videos, and attract more people to fill out your survey. The welcome screen will help people understand the purpose of the survey and much more if used properly.

NET PROMOTER SCOREⓇ (NPS)

Net Promoter Score® focuses on the fair treatment of customers and employees. Unlike traditional accounting that focuses on short-term business profits, NPS® looks at the long-term picture. It focuses on how well-perceived a business is through the eyes of its customers and employees.

The default follow-up question is the same for all responders. To customize the follow up question change the toggle for "Custom End Screen". The follow-up question shown to the respondents will be unique by score. You can edit the text separately for Promoters, Passives, and Detractors.

Note : The net promoter score divides respondents into three categories: Promoters, Passives, Detractors. To know more click on the link.

OPINION SCALE

Respondents can share their opinions on a numbered scale using this question. You can also select the scale for this question based on your requirements.

Advanced Customization: The scale by default starts at 1. Change the toggle to start the scale at 0. Change the toggle for flip scale to reverse the order of the scale.

Opinion Scale Question allows up to two labels for the questions scale.

By default, two of these—not at all likely and extremely likely—are already in place, but can be rewritten as needed by clicking on advanced customization.

LONG AND SHORT TEXT QUESTIONS

Long and short text questions can record the thoughts or opinions of respondents via text. If your company needs suggestions on a feature that you might want to add in your company through a survey add a long text question.

You might want to know the names of the respondents in your survey, for that you add a short text question.

You can also set a limit on the maximum number of characters for the questions.

GRID QUESTION

This question type is beneficial if you have to pose related questions with similar reaction sets. The grid question type has been created to combine different question types. The Grid Question can be used to know opinions on different statements in one question.
