What Is a Post-Call Survey? – Gather Instant Customer Feedback

Post-call surveys allow businesses to collect immediate feedback from customers after a phone interaction. Whether you're measuring customer satisfaction (CSAT), Net Promoter Score (NPS), or agent performance, automated surveys provide actionable insights without manual follow-ups.

What Is a Post-Call Survey?

A post-call survey is an automated feedback system that collects customer responses immediately after a phone interaction. Traditionally, businesses relied on follow-up emails or manual calls to gather feedback, but these methods often resulted in low response rates and delayed insights.

With automated post-call surveys, businesses can instantly capture customer opinions through DTMF keypress responses (e.g., "Press 1 for satisfied, Press 2 for unsatisfied") or voice recognition for open-ended feedback. This ensures fast, consistent, and reliable data collection.

Whether used to measure customer satisfaction (CSAT), Net Promoter Score (NPS), or agent performance, automated surveys provide real-time insights without manual follow-ups, allowing businesses to improve service quality and customer experience efficiently.
