Why Live Demo Attendee expectation surveys matter
Let's get real—a strong Expectations survey for your Live Demo Attendees means you meet their needs before the event even begins. We’ve seen that 42% of consumers are willing to answer 7-10 questions in a survey, while 31% will spend 10-14 minutes responding. That’s a huge window to capture what people hope, fear, want, and expect from your demo. If you’re not running these, you’re missing out on:
Uncovering top attendee interests and burning questions (which content to spotlight)
Identifying barriers that might keep people silent or disengaged during your live demo
Pivots or tweaks to the agenda, based on pre-event expectations
Building trust—attendees feel seen when you ask about their needs before the session
More than ever, the importance of Live Demo Attendee recognition surveys is about turning one-way events into meaningful conversations. And when 80% of respondents rate their topic interest as 4 or 5 out of 5, you get data-driven clarity for event planning and engagement. [1][2]
If your events feel “meh” or you’re not sure what attendees want, this kind of feedback is pure gold. Without it, you risk missed engagement, lower satisfaction, and even lower attendance at future demos.
What makes a good survey on expectations
A good survey about Expectations digs past surface-level wishes and gets an honest, detailed picture. Here’s what matters:
Clear, unbiased questions: Every question should invite honest answers, not steer respondents.
Conversational tone: People answer more authentically when it feels like a conversation—not a test. A relaxed tone boosts both completion rates and the quality of responses.
Balance of question types: Blend open-ended and multiple choice, so you learn both “what” and “why.”
Bad practice | Good practice |
|---|---|
Loaded or leading questions | Open, neutral wording |
Your best measure of success: high response rate and great quality in the answers you get. If responses are shallow or few, revisit your tone and question design. Specific’s conversational surveys aim for both volume and value—because you shouldn’t have to choose one over the other.

NPS (Net Promoter Score) question is a quick pulse-check on expectations, using a familiar 0-10 scale—and it's easy to set up with an NPS survey builder for this exact use case.
For example:
On a scale of 0–10, how likely are you to recommend this live demo to a colleague, based on your current expectations?
Followup questions to uncover "the why": This is where conversational surveys shine. Use followups when the answer suggests there’s more to uncover—especially when you want clarity or deeper stories. For example:

The power of follow-up questions
Follow-up questions are the secret weapon of conversational surveys. Unlike static forms, they turn uncertain, vague replies into crystal-clear insights. With automated followup questions, Specific’s AI asks the right follow-ups at the right moment—digging in, but always context-aware. For instance, if a Live Demo Attendee responds unclearly, here’s how it might go without and with AI follow-up:
Live Demo Attendee: “I just want to see if it works.”
AI follow-up: “What’s the main challenge or problem you hope this demo will solve for you?”
How many followups to ask? In our experience, 2-3 followups max provide optimal depth without annoying your respondents. You can always let them skip to the next question once the core insight is clear. Specific makes this setting a breeze to manage.
This makes it a conversational survey: Followups transform one-way forms into real conversations, where the respondent feels heard—and you get the “why” behind every answer.
AI survey response analysis: Worried about sorting through messy text replies? It’s easy to analyze all the responses using AI-powered survey response analysis. Specific’s AI categorizes, summarizes, and helps you spot trends fast—even with loads of unstructured comments.
Automated followup questions are a new paradigm. Try generating an AI-powered survey and experience how quickly you’ll go from “I don’t know what my audience expects” to “I know exactly what to deliver.”
