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. If they said they're 'just exploring,' identify the specific information — samples, pricing tiers, lead times — that would move them toward a decision.

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 TemplateA 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 BusinessA 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
