Best Practice Tips for SMS Surveys

Asking anyone with whom you want to do new or additional business, to complete a survey via SMS if it is not just a single question, can actually jeopardise business and put relationships at risk.

The constant to and fro of the messages and the random appearance and interruption factor is proven to just annoy your customer or prospect as question numbers go above a single question. If you want to attempt to collect that valuable “open” comment as well, don’t use the “to and fro” method of SMS surveys but use the VIRTUATell alternative.

With over 10 years of experience supplying automated, multi-channel survey services, research shows that VIRTUATell‘s alternative method has a 98% total acceptance level, even when asking 4 or 5 question PLUS that valuable general comment.

 

The VIRTUATell SMS survey method

As with a normal SMS survey, we send the message asking if they will take a survey. However, we inform them that if they accept, we will call them back immediately with a quick telephone survey. On acceptance, our outbound telephone survey calls them back, avoiding that nightmare of multiple SMS surveys with messages bouncing to and from your customer, with the associated, huge annoyance factor. We can even collect customer complaint details and deliver them to whoever you want, seconds after the survey, to proactively help you convert them to a satisfied customer – proven to have an 11% higher probability of re-purchasing. VIRTUATell surveys give you:
