Survey example: Prospect survey about pain points

This is an example of an AI survey designed for Prospects to uncover key Pain Points—go ahead and see and try the example yourself.

We all know that building effective Prospect Pain Points surveys is hard: it’s easy to end up with generic questions, low response rates, and feedback that’s too shallow to act on.

Specific’s tools tackle this challenge head on, offering AI-driven, conversational surveys and analysis that go well beyond what regular forms ever could.

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

If you’ve ever created a pain points survey for prospects, you probably struggled to keep their attention or get truly honest feedback. Traditional surveys feel cold, are often skipped, and rarely dig below the surface. That’s where conversational AI-powered surveys turn the experience around.

With an AI survey example like this, every Prospect feels like they’re in a natural chat—not faced with a wall of dull questions. This dynamic approach adapts on the fly, keeping respondents engaged and making your data far richer. One major benefit: AI-powered surveys have achieved completion rates of 70-90%, compared to the lackluster 10-30% for traditional forms. That’s a game-changer, especially when you want nuanced insight at scale. [1]

Let’s put the difference side by side:

Why use AI for Prospect surveys?

• Higher completion and response rates—feedback comes in faster and more reliably

• Smarter follow-ups—AI probes like an expert, so you don’t miss context

• Effortless for both survey creators and Prospects

Specific’s AI survey generator stands out for providing the best user experience: feedback feels human, setup is quick, and the interface guides both you and your Prospects through the process smoothly.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The standout feature of any high-quality conversational survey? Automatic, AI-driven follow-up questions that kick in based on your Prospect’s previous reply. Rather than guessing if you got a useful answer, let the AI collect context—just like a savvy human interviewer. This isn’t about more questions; it’s about the right questions. Automated probes eliminate the back-and-forth emails you’d need to clarify answers, giving you instant, richer insights while keeping the process natural and frictionless.

Let’s look at what happens without thoughtful follow-up:

• Prospect: “It sometimes takes too long for things to load.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you tell me what specific actions or pages feel especially slow?”

If you miss that follow-up, you’re stuck with vague data and guesswork. With Specific, the survey flows like a conversation, so you get actionable clarity, not just filler responses. You can even see our automatic AI follow-up questions feature in action to understand the difference.

This is why we call it a conversational survey: it’s a genuine dialogue, not just a form.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing your survey with Specific feels like chatting with a smart colleague. Tell the AI survey editor what to add, change, or remove, and it makes the updates instantly—no tinkering with question logic or formatting. Instead of wrestling with clunky tools, you just describe what you want, and expert-level edits are made in seconds. It’s all handled behind the scenes—so you can stay focused on insights, not admin work.

Flexible delivery: share or embed in-product

Getting your Prospect Pain Points survey in front of the right people is just as important as the questions themselves. With Specific, you have two frictionless options:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Great for outreach campaigns, cold emails, or including a survey link in sales sequences. Prospects can engage on their schedule, from any device.

• In-product surveys: Perfect for in-app user feedback, trigger a conversational survey at the ideal time—like just after a feature use or when pain points are likely top-of-mind. This method delivers feedback without requiring the Prospect to open a new tab or leave your product, lowering friction and improving quality.

For deep prospect understanding and pipeline qualification, both delivery methods are at your disposal—use whichever fits your workflow best.

Survey analysis—automated, instant, and actionable

Once responses begin to roll in, you don’t want days of manual spreadsheet work. With Specific, AI survey analysis summarizes, clusters, and finds conversation themes on autopilot—saving teams from weeks of repetitive effort. As soon as your data arrives, the analysis engine highlights patterns, surfaces pain points, and answers your specific questions directly via chat.

You never have to dig manually for insight again. To learn the specifics of analyzing these surveys, our guide on how to analyze Prospect Pain Points survey responses with AI lays it all out, including topic detection and hands-on examples.
