Prompt

Create a brief client satisfaction survey for me to send to clients at the end of a project. The survey should have about 5-7 questions mixing rating scales and open-ended responses. Cover key areas: the client’s satisfaction with the final deliverable, communication during the project, timeliness of delivery, value for the money, and their overall experience working with me. For example, a rating question might be “On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with the project outcome?” and an open-ended question might be “What could I improve for future projects?” Make sure the phrasing is polite and professional, encouraging honest feedback.

Instructions:

• Adjust the number of questions or specific focus as needed. If you want a longer survey or to emphasize certain aspects, mention that (e.g., “include a question about how likely they are to refer me to others”). The prompt above is set for a medium-length survey, but you can easily ask for “just 3 key questions” or “10 detailed questions” and re-run.

• If your work is in a particular domain, you can add one or two context details so the questions can reference it. For example, “as a web developer, I’d like one question about satisfaction with the website’s functionality.” The AI will then include a relevant question.

• Customize the scale if 1-10 isn’t your preference. You can do 1-5, or use descriptive options (Very satisfied, Satisfied, etc.). Just specify in the prompt if needed (“use a 5-star rating system” or similar).

• After generating the questions, review them to ensure they make sense for your projects. You might need to tweak wording or add a personalized touch (like using your name or your company name in the intro of the survey, which you’d do outside of the AI prompt).

Tips:

• Deploy this survey via a simple form tool (Google Forms, Typeform, etc.) for ease of use. Shortly after project completion (or along with final deliverables), send a friendly email with the link, expressing that you value their feedback.

• Emphasize that the survey is quick and helps you improve. You can mention “It should take only 3 minutes, and your input will help me serve you better in the future.” Busy clients are more likely to respond when it’s short and beneficial to them.

• Use the feedback constructively. Celebrate positive responses by asking clients if you can use their words as testimonials (monetization tip: great testimonials can attract new business). For any criticisms, thank them and actually implement improvements. Showing that you listen to feedback can turn a merely satisfied client into a loyal repeat client.

• Remember, the goal of a client satisfaction survey is to ensure your services align with client needs and to spot areas for improvement. Satisfied clients often become loyal, repeat clients, so finding out what you did well (or not) can directly impact your future income. It’s much cheaper to retain a client than to find a new one!
