Dealer Evaluation of Supplier Support Survey
Captures how dealers rate a supplier across order fulfillment, rep responsiveness, training, and marketing support, then uses a best-worst trade-off to surface which support gaps matter most. An AI follow-up interview digs into the reasoning behind the dealer's lowest rating or recommendation score, uncovering specific incidents rather than vague dissatisfaction.

If their recommendation score was 6 or below, also probe what would need to change for them to raise it, and whether they've considered reducing orders or switching suppliers as a result.

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
- Uses a matrix rating across order fulfillment, rep responsiveness, training, and marketing support, then a best-worst (max-diff) trade-off to pinpoint which specific support gap matters most — not just averaged satisfaction scores.
- Pairs a recommendation/likelihood score and 90-day fulfillment reliability question with an AI follow-up interview that automatically probes the dealer's lowest-rated area for the specific incident behind it, rather than leaving low scores unexplained.
- Combines closed-ended benchmarking questions with an open long-text 'one change' question and an automated report, so both quantitative gaps and qualitative reasoning are captured in one flow.
- Free tier available with transparent, viewable AI prompts — no hidden black-box scoring, and no academic-only pricing tier to navigate.
QuestionPro
Dealer evaluation survey template for suppliersA ready-to-field static survey template covering dealer perceptions of supplier support, close in topic to ours. It benefits from QuestionPro's mature survey engine (logic, reporting), but appears to rely on fixed rating/multiple-choice questions rather than any adaptive dialogue with the dealer.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for dealer-supplier evaluation, so questions map directly to this use case
- Backed by an established survey platform with skip logic and dashboard reporting
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up to probe why a dealer gave a low rating — all questions are pre-scripted
- No mention of a trade-off method (like best-worst scaling) to rank which support areas matter most
- No published methodology for how responses are scored or summarized
Jotform
Supplier Evaluation Form TemplateA generic supplier evaluation form built on Jotform's drag-and-drop builder, aimed at broad supplier assessment rather than dealer-specific support dynamics. It's fielding-ready as a static form but not tailored to dealer support categories like training or marketing co-op support.
What it does well
- Easy to customize visually via Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder
- Broad applicability across supplier types, not locked to one industry
Where it falls short
- Generic supplier form, not structured around dealer-specific support pillars (fulfillment, rep responsiveness, training, marketing)
- No adaptive or voice AI interview to follow up on a low score with a real incident
- No built-in trade-off ranking to identify which support gap matters most
SurveySparrow
Supplier Quality Evaluation Form TemplateA conversational-style form focused on supplier quality assessment rather than dealer support experience specifically. SurveySparrow's chat-like UI makes it feel more human than a plain form, but it is still a fixed question sequence without true adaptive probing.
What it does well
- Conversational, one-question-at-a-time interface likely improves completion rates
- Framed around supplier quality metrics, useful for procurement-style evaluation
Where it falls short
- Targets supplier quality broadly, not dealer-specific support categories like rep responsiveness or marketing support
- No adaptive AI interview that digs into the reasoning behind a low score or recommendation
- No transparent scoring methodology or trade-off ranking of support gaps published
Typeform
Supplier Evaluation Form TemplateA clean, conversational one-question-per-screen supplier evaluation form, good for basic satisfaction capture but generic rather than dealer-support specific. It's a static template with no mechanism to chase down the story behind a poor rating.
What it does well
- Polished, distraction-free conversational form design
- Simple to deploy for general supplier feedback
Where it falls short
- Not tailored to dealer support dimensions (fulfillment, training, marketing, rep responsiveness)
- No adaptive or voice AI follow-up to surface specific incidents behind low scores
- No best-worst trade-off question to prioritize which support gap needs fixing first
