Need to give your team access to the most trusted survey software? SurveyMonkey provides options for any use case, so you can empower people in your organization to share survey results and make bigger impacts. Team Admins can control how the SurveyMonkey is being used, manage ownership of survey data, and manage accounts with one consolidated bill.
SurveyMonkey team plans are ideal for survey teams of 3 or more members. Team plans consist of 1 Admin, and 2 Full Users. All of these team members can create and send surveys, analyze the results and share data with others. As Admin, you can also add additional Full User seats for people who need access to all SurveyMonkey team plan functions. Admins can also purchase Contributor seats and fill them with members who need to analyze survey results but not to create or send surveys. Contributor seats are a lower-cost way to get more eyes on the data, and free up Full Users to focus on their initiatives.
SurveyMonkey Enterprise is ideal for organizations that need enterprise-grade features, such as logging in with your corporate SSO solution, HIPAA-compliant features, dashboards for increased visibility over user activity, and integrations with Salesforce, Marketo, Eloqua, and Microsoft Power BI.
Five tips for business surveys
- Send out a survey after a specific transaction. Let your customers know you care about every transaction by sending a survey right after you’ve engaged with them. You’ll get great information from a fresh source. Just after a sale is great time to find out your Net Promoter Score.
- Follow best practices. How to write a good survey question is more of a science than an art. Choose the types of survey questions that fit your needs, and stay away from questions that might introduce bias.
- Offer incentives. Little incentives like a small discount or an entry into a drawing can make the difference between a completed market research survey and a blank one.
- Try engaging a different audience. With SurveyMonkey Audience, you’ll can choose the demographic that you wish to target with a survey.
- Use the filter tools. Our filtering tools let you look at your data any way you want. Compare your survey response data right in SurveyMonkey or export the data to view it using your favorite software.
