How do Additional Survey Questions Work?

Login to Customer Feedback Centre

Additional survey questions are optional. By setting them up you can add up to four additional survey questions, in addition to the Net Promoter Score question. Additional survey questions use a 0 - 10 base scale. The questions can be fully customised as can the labels on the rating scale.

When Should I Use Additional Survey Questions?

Simple answer: when you are interested in gathering more specific information than what the Net Promoter Score provides.

A common time to consider adding additional survey questions might be when your business introduces a new product or service. Or perhaps after a change in personnel or process that might have an impact on your customers.

Effectively, anytime you sense there may be a problem and are unsure where the friction points lay is likely a good time for additional survey questions.

Here are a few real-world scenarios we've seen successfully implemented:

A roofing company that replaced a more complex survey tool and primarily uses the system for detailed feedback after a roof has been installed. In this way, they are able to reach out to their customers immediately and gather information about their roof, quality of workmanship and overall appearance.
An Osteopathy Clinic that offers periodic survey questions of existing patients as a value-added service.
Using the Customer Feedback Centre Feedback Locator restaurants are able to collect direct complaints and to capture more details about the problems on a per-location basis.

What Should I Know Before Adding Additional Questions?

Additional survey questions add an additional step (or steps) to the feedback gathering process. Each additional step added to the feedback process reduces the likelihood of receiving a first-party testimonial or third-party review.

When considering if additional survey questions are right for your business, keep in mind that they can be turned on and off as needed. Additional survey questions DO NOT have to be a permanent change to your feedback process.

It should be noted additional survey questions are only available in Ultimate and Direct Request Modes at this time.
