Collect customer information to enable better service

Surveys are a way to ask the important questions — fast! Often, you’ll need to ask a series of security questions to authenticate a customer, ask for a net promoter score, or perhaps you want to narrow down the specifics of a query to deliver the best customer service. With Surveys, this is easy — this guide will show you how.

Why use Lexer Forms?

Are you required to authenticate a customer before discussing an account/profile/booking?
Do you need to find out more about the query to triage to the right department?
Do you seek customer feedback to help analyze your team’s performance?
Would a contact form on your website make it easier for your customers to get hold of you?

If you answered yes to one of these questions, read on and learn how to brief the right survey to your Lexer Success Manager.

What do I get from using Surveys?

Lexer surveys are entirely customizable forms that you can send to your customers. When the customer responds, you will immediately have access to their full response, and will be able to see this data in their chat history, context history, and will allow you to use this data in Identify for deeper customer service analysis, or activations.

Getting your own Survey.

Lexer surveys are created for you, by Lexer, and are co-ordinated through your Lexer Success Manager. We do this to ensure that everything is set up effectively on our end, giving you the most out of the data captured. All you need to do is get in contact with your Lexer Success Manager, and provide a few details on the survey — such as the design, purpose, and the questions used.

Briefing a Survey design
