AI InterviewRequired

Explore the respondent's actual sourcing situation and decision process: if they currently carry a similar product, find out what's working or falling short with that supplier and what would prompt a switch. Anchor on their stated order volume and timeline, and probe what internal approval, budget, or minimum-order-quantity terms would need to align for them to place a real first order.

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

  • Captures a full wholesale buyer profile in one flow — business type, product interest, number of retail locations, estimated order volume, timeline, and whether they already carry a similar product from another supplier — so sales can prioritize real opportunities at a glance.
  • Includes a Van Westendorp pricing question set to surface actual price expectations and sensitivity, not just a single 'what's your budget' field.
  • Goes beyond the static form with an AI follow-up interview that explores the respondent's actual sourcing situation and what it would take to convert the inquiry into a first order — something a fixed question list can't do.
  • Closes the loop by collecting company name/website, role, employee count, and a follow-up email, with a clear chat message confirming next steps for the wholesale team.

Jotform

Wholesale Inquiry Form Template

A fielding-ready static form for capturing wholesale inquiries, built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's likely a straightforward fixed-field form (business details, product interest) rather than an adaptive interview, and like most Jotform templates it's easy to customize and deploy quickly.

What it does well

  • Easy to customize via Jotform's drag-and-drop builder
  • Backed by a large template library and integration ecosystem
  • Quick to deploy for basic wholesale lead capture

Where it falls short

  • Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe sourcing situation or order intent
  • No automated per-response quality scoring to help prioritize leads
  • No published prompt-level methodology or transparency into how responses are evaluated

SurveySparrow

Wholesale Inquiry Survey Template for Business

A conversational, one-question-at-a-time wholesale inquiry survey built on SurveySparrow's chat-style survey format. It's a ready-to-field template that likely reads more naturally than a traditional form, but it's still a fixed question sequence rather than a true adaptive interview.

What it does well

  • Conversational, chat-style UI that can feel more natural than a static form
  • Part of a broader business survey template library
  • Likely mobile-friendly given SurveySparrow's conversational format focus

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up interview or voice AI option to dig into actual sourcing situation
  • No automated per-response quality scoring to help sales prioritize inquiries
  • No transparent, published prompt methodology behind the questions
