“A satisfied customer is the best business strategy of all.” — Michael LeBoeuf
Do you agree that customers are super important for a business, and if they're happy, the business does well?
Well, a Zendesk report says 75% of people are willing to spend more money on products or services that give them a great experience.
This is especially true for the software industry (SaaS), where every company wants to beat the top competitors. So, having satisfied customers is everything in this context.
Just think about what happens if one of the customers gives your business a bad review. You won't believe it, but there's a 50% chance they might switch to a competitor. That's a huge impact!
What is the HubSpot Customer Feedback Survey Tool?
HubSpot's Customer Feedback Survey software helps you create surveys to ask customers what they think. You can send these surveys through emails, web links, or even those friendly chatbots on websites.
This tool allows you to create custom surveys or choose from pre-built standard surveys. It further helps you to share the feedback reports with your sales team and analyze the insights to make your marketing even more efficient.
Let's get through the benefits of this tool and later understand its usage.
Getting Started with HubSpot Customer Survey Software
HubSpot is a well-known platform for managing customer relationships. It has different tools for marketing, sales, and customer service. One of these tools is the Customer Feedback Survey Software, designed to improve customer service.
Before we dive into this tool, let's follow some easy steps to get into your HubSpot account.
- Log in to your HubSpot account.
- Go to the HubSpot Dashboard.
- Under the Services menu, find "Feedback Surveys" and click on it.
Now, let's take a closer look at each step:
- Creating surveys
- Analyzing feedback
- Sharing reports
Step 1: Create Customer Surveys
A customer survey is a method of collecting feedback from your customers. The goal of a customer survey is to collect information that helps businesses understand customer satisfaction, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to enhance customer experience.
It may contain a set of questions, star ratings, radio buttons or checkboxes. HubSpot allows you to create surveys in 2 ways.
1. Custom Survey
With HubSpot, you can build your own survey. You can add survey questions, emoticons, checkboxes or rating types to gain customer feedback.
- On the top right corner of the Feedback Surveys page, you will notice a "Create Survey" button. Click on it.
- Select "Custom Surveys" and click "Next" to start creating a survey.
- Choose a delivery method, either email or a sharable link, and click Create.
- You'll notice 5 tabs: Email, Survey, Thank You, Recipients, and Automation
- Customize each of these tabs one by one:
➡️ Set up your email
Fill in the details like company name, subject line, and email body and customize the appearance of your email by adding images, text or colours.
➡️ Build your survey
Create and design your survey by choosing various question types, including rating, sentiment, radio, checkbox, etc. You can add a feedback property to each question in order to link answers to your contacts.
➡️ Customize your thank you message
Share a note of appreciation with your customer. Customize the message with a personalized touch and let the customers know the value of their feedback.
➡️ Add recipients
Choose whom to send the survey and when to send it. Set the criteria for the eligibility of customers to receive the feedback survey. You can start building the property from scratch or import the contacts from static lists.
➡️ Automate your surveys
Add NPS or CSAT questions to automate your surveys. It allows you to trigger follow-up actions when a customer submits the feedback.
- Once you've created the custom survey, you can review it to ensure your customization is in place and then publish it.

Please Note: If you've selected the delivery method as a shareable link, you'll see only 4 tabs for customization, Survey, Options, Thank you, Automation. The Options tab will ask you for different inputs; the other three tabs remain similar as described above. Customizing "Options" allows you to ask a simple question to receive a better response rate.

2. Pre-defined Industry Standard Surveys
HubSpot lets you create the Standard Surveys, including CES, CSAT and NPA. Let's understand what they are and how they appear in HubSpot.
➡️ CES (Customer Effort Score) Survey
Customer Effort Score (CES) is a metric used to measure the ease with which customers can buy a product, avail a service, resolve their queries or interact with the company. These are sent after the resolution of a ticket.
CES impacts customer satisfaction and relationship with a business to a great extent.
An unsatisfied customer can demote the brand value by speaking negatively about the company. Thus, providing better customer support and quick resolution of their issues is always advised.
For Example: How easy was it to connect with webdew experts?
With the HubSpot Customer Feedback Survey tool, you can create a CES survey by following the steps below:
- Customize the survey
- Set follow-up questions based on customer feedback
- Link the survey to your ticket pipeline and send it after the ticket has been resolved
- Automate tasks like sending an email or setting the task
- Analyse customer responses using the charts and graphs
➡️ CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) Survey
Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) survey is a metric for assessing customers' overall satisfaction.
A CSAT survey aims to measure how content or discontent customers are with their experiences. It involves asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale.
The most common format is asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 or 1 to 10. CSAT surveys often have a single, straightforward question to measure overall satisfaction.
For example: How satisfied are you with your experience with Hubdew marketing services?
With the HubSpot Customer Feedback Survey tool, you can share a CSAT survey via email, web page or chat.
➡️ NPS (Net Promoter Score)
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is used for measuring customer loyalty. Respondents provide a rating on a scale from 0 to 10 based on their likelihood to recommend. Scores are categorized into three groups:
- Promoters (9-10): Customers who are highly satisfied and likely to recommend the company.
- Passives (7-8): Customers who are satisfied but may not actively promote the company.
- Detractors (0-6): Customers who are dissatisfied and may spread negative
The Net Promoter Score is calculated by subtracting the Detractors (%) from the Promoters (%).
Businesses use NPS insights to make strategic decisions for improving products, services, and overall customer experience.
With the HubSpot Customer Feedback Survey tool, you can create and share the NPS survey via email or web page.
Step 2: Analyze Feedback Survey Data
Now that you've successfully created and conducted a Customer survey, it's time to analyze the survey results.
Key Features of HubSpot Reports:

Click the Edit columns and select the checkboxes or drag the properties to view your responses.
