Customer Satisfaction (CSAT/NPS): 15 essential questions for your forms

TL;DR (Summary)

Acquiring a new customer costs 5 times more than retaining one. The key to B2B and B2C retention lies in collecting feedback at strategic moments (after a purchase or a support interaction). Using FormDZ, you can deploy automated, GDPR-compliant satisfaction surveys (NPS, CSAT, CES) and use conditional logic to instantly identify and reconnect with dissatisfied customers via Webhooks.

In the subscription economy (SaaS) and e-commerce in 2026, ignoring your customers' opinions is a fatal error. A silent, dissatisfied customer will go straight to the competition, while leaving a negative review on Google.

To turn your buyers into ambassadors, you must establish a Feedback Loop. But what questions should you ask to obtain actionable data?

Here are the 15 strategic questions to integrate into your next surveys, categorized by the 3 major global indicators (NPS, CSAT, CES), and how FormDZ's architecture allows for automate them.

1. The Net Promoter Score (NPS): Measuring Global Loyalty

The NPS is the king indicator. It measures attachment to your brand over the long term. It is generally requested a few weeks after purchase.

  1. The classic question: « On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our company/product to a friend or colleague? »
  2. For Promoters (Scores 9 to 10): « What do you like most about our service? »
  3. For Passives (Scores 7 to 8): « What could we improve to earn a 10 next time? »
  4. For Detractors (Scores 0 to 6): « What was the main problem during your experience with us? »
  5. Action Question: « Would you agree to be contacted by our team to discuss your feedback? »

The FormDZ Tip: Use conditional logic. If the customer clicks a score below 6, dynamically display question #4. Then connect a Webhook so that an urgent alert is sent to your customer service team's Slack channel or CRM to catch this customer immediately.

2. The Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT): The Hot Interaction

CSAT is measured "hot," meaning immediately after a specific interaction (closing a support ticket, delivery of an order). The scale often ranges from 1 (Very Dissatisfied) to 5 (Very Satisfied).

  1. « How satisfied are you with the resolution of your support ticket today? »
  2. « How do you rate the quality of the product received compared to your expectations? »
  3. « Was the delivery time respected? »
  4. « Did you find the information you were looking for on our website? »
  5. « How would you rate the friendliness of the representative in-store/on the phone? »

The FormDZ Tip: CSAT forms must be ultra-short. Use the Multi-step format to offer the star scale on the first screen. It's fast, frictionless, and compatible with any smartphone.

3. The Customer Effort Score (CES): Measuring Friction (UX)

The CES is based on a simple principle: the more effort a customer makes to use your service, the less loyal they will be.

  1. « On a scale of 1 (Very Difficult) to 7 (Very Easy), how easy was it to finalize your online payment? »
  2. « Is our software's interface intuitive to learn? »
  3. « Did you need to contact support to understand how your product works? »

4. Open and Qualitative Questions

Numbers provide the trend; free text provides the context.

  1. « If you could add just one feature to our product, what would it be? »
  2. « Is there anything else you would like to share with our team? »
