Businesses look to develop a deep understanding of customer needs, stay aware of their preferences, and keep track of customer satisfaction. From finding the target market to monitoring post-purchase sentiment, surveys serve as structured and efficient tools for collecting data and deriving these insights.
Integrating a survey tool with a CRM allows you to create and send surveys to specific groups of customers quickly. Once you receive the responses, the survey data can be used to fill and augment the customer profiles present in a CRM. This gives customer-facing teams access to up-to-date and comprehensive information and helps them better serve their customers.
Zoho Survey can be integrated with Zoho CRM to serve use cases like this.
Before using the Zoho Survey integration in your actual production environment, it's best to test it in a sandbox environment. This lets you see how the integration affects your CRM system and internal processes. Once you're satisfied with the testing, you can confidently deploy it to your live environment.
