We use AskNicely to [monitor] the NPS score; our NPS score is a KPI that our department is judged on by the management team.
  • We believe that AskNicely gives our customers the opportunity to relay their feeling back to us, either positive or negative.
  • AskNicely is a great way to communicate with your customer base and get the general feel of the strength of our relationships.
  • We have total control of the process so, for example, we use the recommended 90 day period touch point as you don't want to hassle your customers.
  • AskNicley has room for improvement with the different integrations - but I believe that it's work in progress.
  • We use HubSpot so I'd like to see AskNicley work within HubSpot rather than using the external database.
  • I think most business would benefit from using AskNicley, however, a package priced for smaller companies doesn't seem to be an offer.
Because I use AskNicley myself and I know how NPS works I'd never give any company a 10 - because everybody can do better but I have been impressed with AskNicley and the results that we have had.

AskNicely is used in my organization to monitor user satisfaction across the whole organization. It allows us to see what our users are thinking and use their feedback to grow and improve. It gives us chance to contact every unhappy customer and try to understand their pain points.
  • The score is just for internal use so we do not have to worry about negative feedback, but can just welcome it to learn from our mistakes.
  • The work flow is very easy to use to create follow up emails and dig deeper into our customers feedback.
  • You can separate the NPS scores from each segment. E.g Buyer, seller etc. This allows to monitor specific segments as well as over all user score.
  • The dash took a while for me to figure out how to use, maybe a quick tutorial would be nice. After a while, I got the hang of it so I think I simply had not used a similar format before.
  • I have to use other apps integrated, such as Zapier. If I did not use this, it would be a very long manual process to record all the detractor scores in the spread sheet.
  • It is very expensive to get the ideal trigger that I would need for my company, the survey trigger we use now is often premature and customers haven't received their order before answering the survey.
Ask Nicely is good for monitoring customer or user satisfaction, the one question and section for comment is ideal for customers. no one wants to be answering multiple question surveys.

We are using AskNicely to gather honest feedback from our candidates and clients. It addresses any issues that our clients and/or candidates might be experiencing by using our services and enables us to improve our customer service and processes.
  • Enables people to give us a quick score of 0-10
  • Also provides additional opportunity to elaborate on their score
  • Enables us to respond to them directly
  • Following up with reviewers in the future to explore if their problems were addressed
AskNicely is well suited to businesses which provide services to clients and require feedback on their experience

We use it to collate the responses of the customers on how they find the experience in our offline stores and web stores. It is mainly used by Customer Service department, but the other departments like sales and analysis will sometimes use it as a feedback to improve the overall experience of the website and business processes.
  • Easily Integrated with Salesforce.
  • As we are using Salesforce as CRM, it is one of the easiest application to integrate. We just have to create reports and limit the date when the customer account is created.
  • Can be used to generate reviews.
  • Love how after collating feedback, we can easily set it in such a way that it helps to generate reviews online to give the company more awareness as a whole.
  • Easy to use
  • The set-up is pretty straightforward and easy, surveys can be customized to the specific target groups.
  • Statistics can be clearer and easier to understand. Eg. When we ask customers about which areas we can improve, the stats are not the easiest to understand.
It's perfect for small-medium enterprise. One of the most affordable and value-for-money application to use.

AskNicely = NPS Champ

We use AskNicely throughout our my company. We utilize it to garner feedback in regards to many different facets of the business, such as product development, customer success, sales & marketing, and the list goes on and on. We are undertaking a large growth initiative this year and it is the tool we are primarily using to help us scale that growth properly.
  • On the back end, AskNicely is set up very well. It's incredibly user friendly, and integrates with our other systems (CRM, Zapier, etc) with ease. The overall automation throughout the product is really done well.
  • I was initially concerned about "spamming" our current customer base. AskNicely has safeguards in place that do a great job from preventing that from happening.
  • I really like that we can "publish" our promoters comments (luckily we have more than a few to choose from), directly to our website using a simple widget.
  • Their customer support/success throughout the implementation process is fantastic. Made sure we were getting the most use of their product, and also helped guide us in creating idea and ways to utilize the software.
  • Honestly can't think of much, but other than continued integrations with other products out on the market. Trello is one inparticular that we utilize that would be a "nice to have", but we get around it.
There is a way to use AskNicely in every facet of your business. I believe companies always have room for improvement and this is a great tool that gives someone direct answers on exactly where and what they need to be doing and how those actions can have a direct impact on their customers.

Product-based NPS Scores

[It's being] Used by a department to determine product-based NPS scores and customer satisfaction with products.
  • Smoothly manages questionnaire implementation, thanks to integration with HubSpot
  • Provides a ready determination of NPS scores across any time frame you choose, per product "segment"
  • Allows Slack integration so we can alert our customer service department to resolve urgent issues by detractors
  • Ability to combine segments into 1 score. For instance, we set up one segment for Product X that was ordered by customer as part of a bundle, and another for same Product X ordered separately. We're testing for a halo effect on Product X's NPS score. Assuming there is no halo effect, for reporting purposes I would like to combine both segments. It's a manual process now.
  • Would like ability to see multiple graphs in one view (for each segment)
  • Problem is to know when an original population's NPS has statistically significantly improved/worsened over time. 2 methods are a margin-of-error test (like 95% confidence intervals included with NPS scores) and a chi-square test. Good example is a calculator by Genroe Software https://www.genroe.com/resources/free-downloads/net-promoter-margin-of-error-calculator. NPS is a sample, and you can infer the original population's NPS using binomial variance using 3 variables (Promoters, Passives, Detractors). Along with testing for inferred population NPS shifts, a simple, clear explanation of all this would really help me explain it to our CEO.

Our company used to be rated on customer service by KLAS, but as of 2015, they no longer included our category in their research. We knew we needed a solution to track feedback and engage end users on their overall satisfaction, and AskNicely was one of the first NPS tools we came across. We started with the trial version, and we were very impressed by the results. It automated the outreach process, and it tracked individual users, as well as the overall score. The support department used it primarily, but the results were shared at the company management meetings.
  • AskNicely is very easy to set up and configure. Uploading the contacts was a breeze, and the import went smoothly.
  • Results are clearly and logically displayed for rapid engagement.
  • We reached more users in just one day than we did in one week previously with three people calling daily. And this was just with the trial version, which limited us to only 50 surveys a day!
  • Their customer service was stellar. I never had to wait long for a response from our representative (Nick). He was quick with solid answers as well.
  • The graphical interface is very streamlined and user-friendly. It made an impact with our management team for sure.
  • I did have some trouble loading the CSV list of contacts and porting over certain fields. It was not as configurable as I was led to expect. For instance, I did not see default fields for site, state, zip code, etc.
  • I would like to see more customization with the design of the outreach, specifically in branding, background images, and layout/spacing.
  • I would also be interested to see more customization/options for automating the emails, specifically by time zone or grouping them throughout the day (instead of all queued up at the same time).
I really believe that every company, business, and organization needs some aggregator for NPS scores. Feedback is so critical in the direction of a company, especially in the tight-knit healthcare IT community. The more we know about our strengths and weaknesses, the better suited we will be to keep our current client base happy, while resolving issues that are affecting our detractors. That direction will guide the product, leading to an increase in sales; it's a no-brainer. The question is, what solution do we opt for? The paper-and-pen method (Excel) was not sustainable. Online documents are only really viable for the first few weeks. Having a user-friendly and easily maintainable solution like AskNicely is the key. The interface is simplicity itself, and the results were very surprising (in a good way). I would very strongly recommend this for software companies, but really any group that needs to monitor feedback could benefit from this service. The larger the group, the better suited it would be. I would only say this is not an applicable solution for very small companies with a very local client base (but, even then, I could make the argument).
