If your surveys get useless answers, it’s the questions. This prompt builds surveys that get honest, actionable feedback you can actually use.

The Prompt
Create a customer feedback survey. Survey context: – What we’re trying to learn: [SPECIFIC GOAL] – Customer segment: [WHO WE’RE SURVEYING] – Survey length: [# OF QUESTIONS] – When it’s sent: [TRIGGER OR TIMING] Question types needed: – Satisfaction rating: [YES/NO] – Open-ended feedback: [YES/NO + HOW MANY] – Feature prioritization: [YES/NO] – NPS or similar: [YES/NO] Output: 1) Survey introduction (why they should complete it) 2) 5-10 questions with logic flow 3) Question type labels (rating, open, multiple choice) 4) Conditional logic (if X, ask Y) 5) Thank you message + incentive suggestion
When to Use This Prompt
- You don’t know why customers churn
- You’re prioritizing roadmap and need customer input
- You launched a new feature and want feedback
- You need testimonials or case study candidates
What You’ll Get
You’ll get a survey introduction explaining the ‘why’, 5-10 questions with mix of ratings and open-ended, conditional logic for follow-up questions, and a thank you message with incentive recommendation.
Why This Prompt Works
• Specific goal: ‘What should we build next?’ is clearer than ‘how are we doing?’
• Question mix: Ratings are quantifiable; open-ended reveals surprises
• Logic flow: Skip irrelevant questions based on earlier answers
• Incentive strategy: Small gift card or product credit boosts completion
How to Customize This Prompt
- [WHAT WE’RE LEARNING] — Be specific: ‘Which feature do they want next?’ not ‘general feedback’
- [CUSTOMER SEGMENT] — New users need different questions than power users
- [SURVEY LENGTH] — 5 questions = high completion; 15 questions = rich data but lower completion
- [TRIGGER] — After purchase, after 30 days, after support ticket resolved
Pro Tips
• Test before sending: Take your own survey to catch confusing questions
• Segment responses: Compare answers from happy vs churned customers
• Close the loop: Email respondents summarizing what you learned and what you’re doing
• Act on it: Nothing kills survey response more than ‘we asked but ignored you’
