client satisfaction survey
Feedback Survey
Clients who are quietly unhappy rarely say so before renewal time. Deploy this automation and a short satisfaction survey fires after every project milestone, giving account managers the signal early enough to address it.

Why this automation matters
Client relationships run on the assumption that everything is fine unless someone says otherwise. The problem is that clients who are not satisfied with a project direction, a communication gap, or a deliverable quality often do not say so directly. They manage the relationship diplomatically, stay quiet through the work, and make their decision at renewal time when you have the least leverage to address it. Deploy FeedbackRobot's client satisfaction automation and the check-in happens automatically at the moments that matter. After onboarding. After the first deliverable. At the 90-day retainer mark. After a major scope change. Each survey is short, specific to the phase the client just completed, and structured to surface concerns that clients are unlikely to raise in a scheduled call. Responses route to the account lead immediately. Anything below your defined satisfaction threshold triggers an alert so the relationship can be addressed while there is still time to course-correct. On the positive side, clients who rate their experience highly and leave specific comments are flagged automatically as case study candidates. The same system that identifies at-risk relationships also identifies your best reference accounts.

Common questions
Why would I use this instead of a generic customer feedback survey?
This one is built around project milestones, not transactions, so the trigger points, onboarding, first deliverable, 90-day mark, reflect how service and consulting relationships actually unfold, rather than a single purchase event.
What happens if a client doesn't respond after a milestone?
Nothing further is sent automatically for that milestone. The next trigger, the following milestone, fires independently, so a missed response at onboarding doesn't affect whether the 90-day survey goes out.
Can I customize which milestones trigger a survey?
Yes, the milestone list is configurable at setup. Some businesses only survey at onboarding and project close, others add every major deliverable.
Does a negative response notify anyone specific, or just a general inbox?
It routes to the account lead by default, since they're best positioned to address a dissatisfied client directly rather than a shared team inbox.
