For any business to run smoothly, it is important to conduct research and garner information from potential customers, regulars and consumers. Some of this information is collected before introducing products in the market and some after the products are launched. In any of these scenarios, customer feedback stands of major significance.
Surveys are one of the well-accepted methods when it comes to gathering customer feedback. But creating surveys can come with a lot of complications as one has to collect details individually and feed the data in different fields incessantly until the survey results are achieved. And thereafter, even if you get the feedbacks, it is difficult to use the data as it isn’t automatically available in your CRM. To help you get over such hassles, we created Survey Rocket which is the perfect survey solution for Sugar CRM. And the best part about it is, when it is integrated to your CRM, you do not need a third party integration solution to work with your Sugar system.
How Does Survey Rocket Help with Data Piping?
Data piping involves moving the existing information from the CRM to survey. It ensures that one makes the most out of a survey built dedicatedly for SugarCRM. Using Survey rocket, one can pre-fill different survey fields from the existing CRM data. This process is best known as Forward Data Piping. It saves all the time and efforts of the sales executives spent behind filling each module.
Now, there are also times when the survey is given to the respondents and they edit or make changes to the pre-filled information. Survey Rocket directly updates and records this information in the CRM database. This is known as backward data piping.
It is not possible for all survey forms to be generic and have a ‘one size fits all design’. Survey Rocket can help you to pipe CRM data into specific survey modules or questions. This creates a better personalization experience.
