Creating effective prospect competitor alternatives surveys is hard. Classic forms get ignored and surface-level responses don’t help your team make real, confident decisions.

Specific is at the forefront of conversational survey technology: all the survey tools here are built by Specific to help you uncover authentic answers from prospects with ease and expertise.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for prospects

If you’ve ever struggled to get candid, detailed feedback from prospects on competitor alternatives, you know that traditional surveys usually fall flat. They often suffer from low response rates and answers that miss the “why” behind a prospect’s preferences or objections. That’s where an AI survey builder can change the game.

At Specific, we design conversational surveys that feel more like a chat than a checklist. Instead of static, impersonal forms, a conversational survey adapts in real time—asking clarifying questions and digging deeper based on each respondent’s reply. This leaves no gaps and makes prospects genuinely heard.

Here’s a quick look at how manual survey creation compares to using an AI survey example for prospects looking at competitor alternatives:

Why use AI for prospect surveys?

• Faster setup: An AI survey builder instantly creates highly relevant, smart questions—no thinking about branching logic or wording required [2].

• More engaging: A conversational survey keeps respondents interested, which leads to higher response rates and better data [1].

• Expert follow-ups: Automated, intelligent probing delivers insights that manual surveys miss [3].

Specific delivers best-in-class conversational surveys, ensuring that both creators and respondents have a seamless, intuitive experience from question to insight. Want to see what types of questions work best? Check out best questions for prospect competitor alternatives surveys.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The real strength of a conversational survey comes from its ability to ask smart, on-the-fly follow-ups. Using AI, Specific probes deeper in real time—just like a skilled interviewer—so each prospect’s answers are clear, specific, and full of context. This means less time chasing fuzzy responses with endless emails, and far more actionable insights for your team [3].

• Prospect: “We’re considering switching but haven’t decided yet.”

• AI follow-up: “What are the main factors making you hesitate about switching from your current solution? Are there specific competitor features that caught your attention?”

• Prospect: “Heard mixed things about your support.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you share what you’ve heard or which aspects of our support are most important for you when evaluating alternatives?”

If you skip follow-ups, responses often stay vague or off-target, leaving you guessing instead of taking action. See how smarter follow-ups actually work by generating a prospect survey with our AI survey generator, or explore the dedicated feature at automatic AI follow-up questions.

These real-time follow-ups transform the process into a true conversation, making this an authentic conversational survey.

With Specific’s survey editor, making changes is effortless. You simply chat with the AI—describe what you want to change, add, or update, even reword a question, and the survey updates instantly. There’s no need to wrestle with clunky interfaces or manually tweak every detail; AI takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on refining your approach [4].

Delivery: landing page or in-product, optimized for prospects

You have two powerful delivery options for your AI survey example, so you can reach prospects where they are:

• Sharable landing page surveys are perfect for sales outreach, newsletters, or targeted campaigns—just share the link with prospects who are considering alternatives. Quick to set up, easy to distribute, and mobile-friendly.

• In-product surveys can be triggered right inside your SaaS product or website. This lets you catch active prospects as they compare solutions or investigate competitors during trial or onboarding, boosting relevance and completion rates.

For prospect surveys about competitor alternatives, landing pages maximize reach across email, ads, and partnerships—while in-product targeting captures real-time intent and context.
