Create your survey

CRM enrichment becomes effortless when you replace static forms with conversational surveys that actually engage your prospects.

With AI-powered surveys, capturing richer lead data feels natural—prospects share more because it's a real conversation, not a one-way form.

Replace your static forms with conversational landing pages

Swapping your old lead forms is simple: instead of embedding another form, just share a conversational landing page from Specific. Every prospect gets a unique, mobile-optimized link they can access from any device, making it frictionless to start the conversation wherever they are.

The conversational format doesn’t just look friendlier—it dramatically increases completion rates, because people feel listened to and understood, not interrogated. For companies adopting data enrichment—especially with engaging conversational AI tools—there’s been a 42% increase in lead conversion rates and a 29% boost in sales productivity. [1]

UTM parameters make attribution effortless. When you share your survey link in marketing campaigns, UTMs track the exact source of each prospect and automatically sync this context-rich info to your CRM, right alongside enriched answers. This gives you a transparent pipeline and real marketing visibility.

The magic is in the experience: great conversational surveys feel like a helpful back-and-forth—not the grilling of a traditional form. The result? More complete, reliable data every time.

Essential questions that prospects actually want to answer

The most effective enrichment questions don’t look like a qualification checklist—they start conversations that help both you and your prospects discover if there’s a real fit.

Company context questions, like company size, industry, and growth stage, let you match your offer to their reality. These set the stage: “Where are you based?” or “How big is your team today?” both open doors to richer discussions and lead scoring.

Current situation questions dig into what really matters: “What’s your current solution for X?” or “What challenges led you to look for something new?” Understanding why they're here helps you and the prospect surface the real problems—perfect input for sales and marketing alignment.

Decision criteria are about uncovering buying readiness: “What’s your expected timeline for solving this?” or “Who else will be involved in making this decision?” Even a light touch on budget (“Do you already have an approximate budget set aside?”) removes ambiguity and saves everyone time.

What’s powerful about Specific’s approach is flexibility—based on each answer, real-time follow-ups dig deeper, tailoring the journey for every prospect. Anyone can generate this style of survey using Specific's AI survey generator.

Master the art of gentle follow-ups that keep prospects talking

AI follow-ups are most valuable when they clarify and explore, but never interrogate. The goal is to get richer context, not create friction or drop-off.

Acknowledge first: Each follow-up gently validates what the user just said. For example, “Thanks for sharing that your team is 10 people—could you tell me a bit about what tools you’ve tried before?” shows you’re paying attention, not just ticking boxes.

Stay relevant: Every follow-up is tailored to what the prospect just shared. If they mention evaluating competitors, ask, “What’s making you hesitate with your current provider?” That natural thread keeps them engaged and sharing.

Here’s how this looks in practice:

Gentle follow-up

Pushy follow-up

“Great, thanks for telling me your timeline! Are there key results you need to see before moving forward?”

“When will you sign? Can you commit now?”

“Interesting, sounds like you’ve used other tools—what’s missing from those?”

“You must tell us why other tools failed—explain in detail.”

With Specific’s automatic AI follow-up questions, you control the depth—decide up front if you want a single clarifying question or a sequence that gently probes for more insight, balancing data quality with user experience.

Why quality enrichment beats volume for sales teams

I know sales teams get more value from ten well-qualified leads than a hundred generic submissions. By filtering out poor-fit prospects naturally, conversational surveys help SDRs focus on high-potential opportunities—not everyone who can fill out a form.

Enriched data arms SDRs with details to personalize their first outreach—no more guessing about company size, intent, or pain points. It’s about surfacing conversations that matter.

Automatic qualification gives your pipeline intelligence: Specific’s AI flags high-intent signals (such as shorter purchase timelines or acute pain points), helping sales prioritize who to contact first. For teams using advanced qualification and enrichment, the time spent chasing dead-end leads drops dramatically. Plus, 75% of companies that use data enrichment see better lead scoring, helping them allocate resources where it counts. [2]

If you’re not enriching leads conversationally, you’re sending SDRs in blind. Get next-level visibility using AI survey response analysis—ask the AI questions about your data to spot quality patterns, refine your outreach, and continuously improve the process.

The marketing advantage of conversational enrichment

Marketers want more than lead quantity—they need depth. Enriched profiles unlock precise segmentation so every campaign, nurture, and retargeting effort hits the mark.

Combine this with better attribution, and now you’ve got transparency across the funnel. Attribution clarity comes from combining UTM-tracked source data with detailed enrichment—suddenly, you see exactly which campaigns deliver high-quality leads, not just clicks or names on a list.

Nurture intelligence means marketers know what keeps prospects up at night. With this, your content, retargeting, and outreach can be crafted to speak to actual customer challenges, not assumptions.

Tools like the AI survey editor let marketers tweak survey questions on the fly, so every campaign is matched to evolving business needs. And with data decay averaging 30% annually for B2B databases [3], only real-time enrichment keeps your efforts accurate and current.

At last, marketing teams can measure true lead quality and confidently plan the next campaign—data-driven from start to finish.

Start enriching your CRM data today

Now is the time to transform your CRM pipeline—ask better questions, engage prospects, and watch your lead qualification improve with every conversation.
