Sales Inquiry Experience & Buying Intent Survey
Captures how prospects experienced your sales team's response to their inquiry — speed, understanding of their needs, and clarity of next steps — plus where they actually stand in their decision process. An AI follow-up interview digs into the real reasons behind their stated likelihood to buy, surfacing blockers reps often never hear directly.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
What prompted you to reach out to us?
- Researching a specific need or problem
- Comparing options before a purchase decision
- Requested a demo or pricing out of curiosity
- Referred by a colleague or partner
- Following up on marketing content (webinar, article, ad)
How quickly did our sales team respond to your initial inquiry, relative to what you expected?
How well did the salesperson understand your specific needs and situation?
Rate your sales interaction on each of the following:
- Product knowledge of the salesperson
- Listening to your needs vs. pitching
- Clarity of pricing and next steps
- Timeliness of follow-up communication
Where are you currently in your decision process?
- Still gathering information
- Actively comparing vendors
- Ready to decide soon
- Already purchased
- Decided not to move forward
Rank these in order of how much they influence your decision to choose a vendor (most important first):
- Price
- Product features and fit
- Speed and quality of support
- Vendor reputation and reviews
- Ease of doing business with the sales team
Based on your experience so far, how likely are you to recommend working with our sales team to a colleague?
Explore the real reasoning behind the respondent's decision-stage answer and recommendation score: what specifically is driving confidence or hesitation to move forward. Anchor on any gap between how fast/well they said the response was and their actual likelihood to buy. If they selected 'decided not to move forward,' probe what single factor tipped that decision and whether anything could have changed it.
What would most increase your confidence in moving forward with us?
- Clearer or more upfront pricing
- More detailed product information
- Customer references or case studies
- Faster follow-up from the sales team
- Nothing — I'm confident already
Which best describes your role in this purchase decision?
- Final decision maker
- Key influencer/recommender

What is your company's approximate size?

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond capturing an inquiry — it measures how the prospect actually experienced the sales interaction (speed, understanding of needs, clarity of next steps) via opinion-scale, rating, and matrix questions.
- Includes a ranking question and a dropdown/role question to segment feedback by what actually drives vendor choice and who the respondent is in the buying committee.
- An AI follow-up interview probes the stated decision-stage answer to surface the real blockers behind a prospect's stated likelihood to buy — something a static form can't do.
- Automated per-response quality scoring and an auto-generated report turn raw responses into a usable output for sales leadership, not just a submitted form.
SurveySparrow
Customizable Sales Inquiry Form TemplateThis is a lead-capture form for logging incoming sales inquiries, not a post-interaction experience or buying-intent survey. It's customizable and ready to field, but it's built to collect inquiry details rather than to assess how the prospect felt about the sales response or where they stand in their decision process.
What it does well
- Ready-to-use, customizable template for capturing sales inquiries
- Likely benefits from SurveySparrow's broader survey distribution and reporting tools
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interviewing to probe stated decision-stage or buying intent
- Static question set with no automated per-response quality scoring
- No transparent, published methodology for how questions are scored or interpreted
Typeform
Free Sales Inquiry Form TemplateA free, fielding-ready form for collecting initial sales inquiries, in Typeform's conversational one-question-at-a-time style. It's designed for lead intake rather than for measuring the prospect's experience of the sales process or uncovering hidden objections behind their buying intent.
What it does well
- Conversational, easy-to-complete form format
- Free and quick to deploy for basic inquiry capture
Where it falls short
- No AI-driven follow-up interviewing to dig into why a prospect gave a particular decision-stage or likelihood-to-recommend answer
- No built-in quality scoring or auto-generated report on sales-experience feedback
- No voice AI interview or guided screen-share option for richer qualitative input
