When I was being trained here at Cvent, I remember Chuck Ghoorah, the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, telling all the new hires that we were henceforth in the business of "alleviating pain." I immediately thought Chuck was a really smart guy. Cvent Web Surveys software application takes away our clients' "pain" because it makes their lives easier. While I obviously think the online survey platform as a whole will save you time (and thus "alleviate your pain"), email alerts is one feature you should definitely be aware of.

Email alerts are just cool. You should familiarize yourself with them in particular because they will help you tremendously in a variety of situations, including any of the following:

1) You are the Director of Marketing at your organization. You are currently targeting a certain age group (say, 18-24 year olds) with your marketing initiatives. Every time someone indicates they are 18-24 years old in an online survey, you want to be notified automatically via email. You can set up a trigger-based email alerts to do just this!

2) As the Senior Vice President of Client Services and Relationship Management, your job is essentially to make sure that your clients are happy. As such, you would like to set up an email alert so that you receive a notification each time a client indicates that they are "very dissatisfied" with your services. This way, you can personally follow up with unhappy clients as soon as possible.

3) You are in charge of training a large group of new hires at your organization. At the end of the training period, all of the trainees will take be tested on what they have learned. You build the quiz in the online survey application and apply scoring to all of the questions. Being as busy as you are, you don’t have time to review everyone’s test responses! However, you want to know if someone does not receive a passing score. So, you set up a score-based email alert that will be sent to you automatically each time someone receives a score below a certain benchmark!

As you can see, email alerts are beneficial for a wide variety of people in lots of different situations. They will alleviate your proverbial pain, allowing you to save both time and money!
