Post-event survey template

A post-event survey with ten rating scales tells you the average and not the reason.

This template is five open questions, answered out loud from a link or a QR code, and SendMyVoice gives you the audio and a transcript of each.

Free plan, no account to answer.

Step 1 of 5

What was the most useful part of the day?

Tap to record. Up to 2 min.

The questions

  1. 1

    What was the most useful part of the day?

    Tells you what to keep. Ask it first, while people are still thinking about the content.

  2. 2

    What would you change for next time?

    The question you're really here for.

  3. 3

    Was there a session you'd skip?

    Easier to answer honestly out loud than to write down.

  4. 4

    What should we cover next time?

    Your next agenda, from the people who'd come.

  5. 5

    Would you come again, and would you bring someone?

    A better signal than a score: they're saying what they'd do.

On the free plan (3 questions), use 1, 2 and 4. The questions work in any form tool too.

  1. 1. What was the most useful part of the day?

    0:44

    The pricing workshop after lunch. I left with three changes to make on Monday.

  2. 2. What would you change for next time?

    0:52

    Shorter morning talks, and a proper break before lunch. The Q and A felt rushed.

  3. 3. Was there a session you'd skip?

    0:25

    The panel. Good people, but they mostly agreed with each other.

  4. 4. What should we cover next time?

    0:31

    Hiring your first employee. Half the room is about to.

  5. 5. Would you come again, and would you bring someone?

    0:18

    Yes, and my business partner, if it's on a Saturday.

Questions

What questions should you ask after an event?

What was most useful, what to change, what to skip, what to cover next time, and whether they'd come back. Open questions get reasons you can act on.

When should you send a post-event survey?

The same day. A QR code at the exit gets the most answers, and an email that evening gets the rest.

How do I get more people to answer?

Keep it to three questions, ask before people leave the room, and say how long it takes.

How many answers can I collect for free?

Up to 10 a month on the free plan and up to 200 on Pro.
