Customer feedback call script: the 6 questions to ask on a feedback call
The basics

Why a short call beats a long form

Feedback forms tend to be filled in by people who are delighted or furious, and you learn little about everyone else. A short call asks them directly, while the visit or delivery is still fresh, and it gives unhappy customers someone to tell before they tell other people. In this example, the rating alone would have told you very little:

Feedback call · Bike service centre · HinglishExample conversation
AI agentNamaste Rohit ji, main [Company] se bol rahi hoon. Kal aapki bike ki service hui thi. Kya ek minute mein feedback de sakte hain?
CallerHaan, bolo.
AI agentEk se paanch ke beech, aap service ko kitne number denge?
CallerTeen. Kaam theek tha, par bike do ghante late mili.
AI agentSorry, yeh sunkar achha nahi laga. Main yeh baat manager tak pahunchati hoon. Kya woh aapko call kar sakte hain?
CallerHaan, shaam ko.
AI agentTheek hai, shaam ko call aayega. Samay dene ke liye dhanyavaad.

The questions

The 6 questions worth asking

Six is the most you need, and four is often enough. Ask them in this order, and let the customer's answers decide which ones you skip.

1. How was it overall?

Start with a number, because it is quick and easy to compare over time. Use one scale everywhere.

"From one to five, how would you rate your visit?"

2. What went well?

Asking this first relaxes people, and it tells you what you should keep doing and which staff to thank.

"What did you like most?"

3. What could be better?

This is the question you are calling for. Ask it plainly, and then stop talking and listen to the whole answer.

"What is one thing we could have done better?"

4. Would you recommend us?

This separates "it was fine" from people who would actually put their name to it.

"From zero to ten, how likely are you to recommend us to a friend?"

5. Is anything still unsolved?

Many customers have an open problem but did not bother to complain. This question finds it while you can still help.

"Is anything still pending from your side?"

6. May we call you again?

Permission for the future is worth having, and a clear no must be respected and recorded.

"May we call you about future offers or updates?"

Full script

फ़ीडबैक कॉल की पूरी स्क्रिप्ट

A full call to a customer after a visit or delivery. Keep the first line short, and always ask for permission.

एजेंट: नमस्ते [नाम] जी, मैं [कंपनी] से बोल रही हूँ। कल आपने [सेवा] ली थी। क्या एक मिनट में फ़ीडबैक दे सकते हैं?

ग्राहक: जी, बताइए।

एजेंट: एक से पाँच के बीच, आप हमें कितने नंबर देंगे?

ग्राहक: चार।

एजेंट: धन्यवाद। ऐसी कौन-सी एक बात है जो हम और बेहतर कर सकते थे?

ग्राहक: बस इंतज़ार थोड़ा ज़्यादा था।

एजेंट: यह बताने के लिए धन्यवाद, मैंने नोट कर लिया है। क्या कोई काम अभी बाक़ी है?

ग्राहक: नहीं, सब ठीक है।

एजेंट: आपका समय देने के लिए बहुत धन्यवाद।

Complaints

When the customer has a complaint

A feedback call will sometimes turn into a complaint. That is good news: you found out directly, and you can still put it right.

Let them finish

Interrupting makes things worse. Let them say all of it, then repeat the main point so that they know you heard it.

"So the bike came back two hours late. Is that right?"

Apologise without arguing

You can be sorry for how they feel without deciding who was at fault. Never explain why they are wrong on a feedback call.

"I am sorry that happened."

Do not promise a fix

Neither a telecaller nor an AI agent should promise a refund or a replacement. Say who will decide, and when they will call.

"Our manager will call you this evening."

Pass it on right away

A serious complaint should go to a person straight away, by live transfer or a same-day callback, with the recording and a summary.

"Shall I connect you to our manager now?"

Close the loop

Track each complaint until someone has called back. A customer who is promised a call and does not get one is worse off than before.

"Hello, I am calling about what you told us yesterday."

Work out your feedback scores

Enter how many people gave each answer. You get an average rating, a satisfaction figure, the number of people to call back, and an NPS score.

How many people gave each rating?

How likely are they to recommend you?

Your scores

  • Average rating, out of 50
  • Satisfied (rated 4 or 5), in %0
  • People to call back (rated 1 or 2)0

Feedback by call vs form or message

Links and forms are cheap, and they are fine when your customers use them. Calls are for when you need answers from everyone else.

Timing

When to call after each kind of visit

Call too soon and there is nothing to say yet. Wait too long and they have forgotten.

After a delivery

Allow a day or two, so that the customer has had time to open and use the product.

After a service visit

Call the next day. Anything that went wrong with a vehicle or an appliance usually shows quickly.

After a clinic visit

Ask about the booking, the wait and the staff, the next day. Any question about health or treatment goes to your staff.

After a class or demo

Call in the evening, when parents and students are free, and ask about the session and any open questions.

After a support ticket

Call soon after it is closed, and ask whether the problem has really been solved.

After a property visit

Call the same or next day. What people liked or disliked is very useful to your sales team.

Before you start

  • Who handles complaintsName a person for each branch or team, with a time limit.
  • What the agent must not promiseNo refunds, replacements or compensation.
  • The name the customer hearsUse the name on the bill or the shop front.
  • Language by customerSet a main one, and let the agent follow anyone who switches.
  • Opt-outsAnyone who says "do not call" must not be called again.

Getting started

Start feedback calls in 4 steps

Start with one service or branch, and get the complaint path right first. Most campaigns go live in 24 hours to 7 days.

  1. 1. Choose your questions

    Pick up to six, and fix your rating scale.

  2. 2. Hear a test call

    The agent calls you with your script, so you can try being an unhappy customer.

  3. 3. Run one branch or service

    Check each complaint reaches the right person the same day.

  4. 4. Share the results

    Show your team the ratings and the customers' own words every week.

Start with one service, then widen.
Avoid these

Why feedback calls get bad answers

Too many questions

Fix: a call longer than a couple of minutes loses people, and the last answers get careless. Cut anything you will not act on.

Asking for a good rating

Fix: "you were happy, right?" gets polite answers that mean nothing. Ask neutral questions, and accept what you hear.

Selling on the call

Fix: a sales line makes the whole call feel like a trick. If you want to sell, make that a separate call with permission.

Calling only happy customers

Fix: a list filtered to good experiences only flatters you. Include people who returned goods or raised tickets.

Doing nothing with the answers

Fix: if nothing changes, stop calling. Share what you heard with your team each week, and fix one thing at a time.

हिंदी में

फ़ीडबैक कॉल कैसे करें, आसान शब्दों में

फ़ीडबैक कॉल छोटी होनी चाहिए। पहले अनुमति लीजिए, फिर एक से पाँच के बीच नंबर पूछिए और उसके बाद यह पूछिए कि क्या बेहतर हो सकता था। ग्राहक जो कहे, उसे पूरा सुनिए और बीच में बहस मत कीजिए।

अगर ग्राहक नाराज़ है, तो माफ़ी माँगिए और उसकी बात उसी दिन किसी ज़िम्मेदार व्यक्ति तक पहुँचाइए। रिफ़ंड या बदले में सामान देने का वादा कॉल पर मत कीजिए। एआई एजेंट ये कॉल ग्राहक की भाषा में कर सकता है, और जवाब आपकी टीम तक पहुँचा सकता है।

FAQ

Customer feedback call script: your questions

01

What is a customer feedback call script?

It is the set of lines used on a feedback call: asking permission, the rating question, open questions and how to close. It keeps calls short and makes answers easy to compare.

02

What should I ask on a feedback call?

Start with a rating, then ask what went well and what could be better. Add whether they would recommend you and whether anything is still unsolved. Four to six questions is plenty.

03

How long should a feedback call be?

About two minutes. If the customer has more to say, let them, but do not keep them there with more questions of your own.

04

When should I make the call?

Usually within a day or two of the visit or delivery, inside calling hours of generally 9 AM to 8 PM.

05

How do I handle an angry customer?

Let them finish, apologise without arguing and say who will call them and when. Do not promise a refund on the call. Pass it to a person the same day.

06

Can an AI agent make feedback calls?

Yes. It can ask for permission, ask your questions, record the rating and the customer's words, and pass unhappy customers to your team.

07

Will customers be honest with an AI agent?

It varies. Some people find it easier to criticise when no staff member is on the line, while others prefer a person. Listen to recordings from your own customers to judge this.
