Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are demand surveys and how can they help me?
Demand surveys are real world feedback on products and services to establish need and relevance with their specific target audiences. Our demand surveys help investors understand precisely what prospective customers truly think about products and services. This feedback is extremely vital to them from a due diligence perspective.
How do you identify relevant audiences for your surveys?
We maintain an extensive in-house database of respondents as well as work with several partners to on board specific audiences for each product and service covered by us. For example - a medical device company building the next generation of cardiac stents will be rated based on responses by cardiologists, peer device manufacturers as well as medical representatives.
How exactly are the surveys conducted?
All our surveys are conducted through automated voice over IVR. Respondents are typically compensated between $40-$60 although this number can vary significantly for some products. We also leverage advanced AI/ML tools developed in house for response and sentiment analysis.
How do you include products and services for your surveys?
We typically initiate coverage for products and services based on investor interest - either through direct contact or by analysing their search behaviour on our platform. On an average, we add 250-400 new products and services every month.
