SaaS Customer survey about support response time

Want to understand your SaaS customers’ support response time needs? You can generate a high-quality AI-powered survey with one click—right here on this page—using Specific’s conversational AI survey builder. It’s quick, actionable, and tailored for real support feedback.

Why measuring support response time really matters

Let’s be honest: if you’re not measuring your support response time from the customer’s perspective, you’re leaving critical info—and loyalty—on the table. **Statistics say that 79% of customers rate fast response as the most important part of support**. [1] If your response times aren’t up to customer expectations, you risk higher churn and missed growth opportunities.

• Customer expectations are high: 88% expect a response within 60 minutes—sometimes even faster for live chat. [1]

• Satisfaction and loyalty depend on speed: 73% of people stick with brands that deliver fast, effective support. [1]

• Slow response = lost customers: If reply times lag, there’s a 30% chance customers will abandon the interaction entirely. [5]

Not running these surveys? You’re missing your chance to spot response time gaps, uncover pain points, and improve customer experience. Beyond keeping users happy, support feedback helps you:

• Pinpoint bottlenecks and reduce churn

• Justify investments in better support systems or automation

• Show proof to leadership of where rapid improvements will pay off

Designing survey questions that drive real insight

We know—writing questions that actually get to the root of customer pain can be tough. That’s why Specific’s AI survey builder draws from expert-crafted question banks and research-backed templates to do it right every time.

Here’s a concrete example:

• Bad question: “Was your experience with our support team good?”

• Good question: “How would you rate the speed of our initial response to your support request? Please describe what worked and what didn’t.”

The bad question is vague—it boxes your SaaS customers into “yes” or “no.” The good question pinpoints a specific support aspect (response speed) and invites detailed, actionable answers.

Specific’s AI analyzes your prompts and avoids leading or confusing language, giving you questions tailored for deep, unbiased insights. With AI, the tool can suggest or automatically include follow-up questions (“Can you share more about when our response felt too slow?”), so you don’t miss key info.

Tip for better questions: Instead of asking “Were you satisfied?”, always ask for examples or specific improvements. This pushes respondents to give richer feedback—gold for product and support teams.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One of Specific’s killer features is its AI-driven ability to ask automatic follow-up questions in real time— just like a real conversation. If a SaaS customer gives a vague or partial answer, Specific’s AI instantly sends a clarifying follow-up while the topic is fresh.

This saves you hours of back-and-forth emails and gets you the details you actually need—while making the survey feel natural, not robotic. Let’s look at how this plays out:

• SaaS customer: “The support team was okay.”

• AI follow-up: “Thanks for sharing! Can you tell me more about what made the support team just ‘okay’? Was it the speed of the response, the clarity of the answer, or something else?”

• SaaS customer: “Sometimes it feels slow.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you describe a recent example when you felt the response was too slow? How long did you wait, and how did it impact your experience?”

If you skip those follow-up questions, you’re left with unclear responses—making it way harder to spot what needs fixing. You’ll spend more time chasing details down later (if you even get them). See how automatic AI follow-up questions work in Specific.

This is a new, smarter way to survey—give it a try and see the difference. Automated follow-ups turn a survey into a genuine conversation, so you get conversational survey depth and realism instead of boring, one-shot answers.

How to deliver: sharable page or inside your product

Once your high-quality survey is ready, you need to get it in front of SaaS customers at the perfect moment—without hassle. Specific gives you two battle-tested delivery options:

• Sharable landing page surveys:

  • Share the unique link in a support follow-up email, or as part of an onboarding or NPS campaign

  • Perfect for batch outreach or one-off feedback requests about support response times from a broader SaaS customer base

• In-product surveys:

  • Trigger a conversational survey immediately after a support ticket is closed, or when customers are most engaged in your app

  • Ideal for real-time feedback tied to specific SaaS support interactions—higher context, and always relevant

For support response time surveys, in-product delivery is often the most effective: you reach people while their experience is still fresh, maximizing honest, actionable responses. Read more about best practices for in-product conversational surveys and landing page delivery on our product pages.
