Online Survey Software

Free.  Just let that word sink in for a minute.  Free.  What comes to mind?  Is it the Buy One Get One Free sale (or BOGO for all you deal enthusiasts) at Payless?  Or maybe it is the proverbial classic your mother used to recite when that new pair of shoes you knew you couldn’t afford got you down; “Sweetheart, the best things in life are free.

Now, I personally believe my good buddy Barrett put it best:

The best things in life are free,
But you can give them to the birds and bees.
I need money.
That’s what I want. 

This Motown classic put into song, and with quite a catchy tune, what so many of us have been thinking for years: What can you actually get for free?  What tangible return do you receive without first offering your life-savings to the money god?   At Payless, nothing.  At Cvent, well, where do I begin?

First, Cvent offers a FREE trial of our online survey tool.  You read that right; a completely free trial, no credit card information necessary to sign-up.  Not one of these ‘Try it 1 month free!” ads that still requires you to give them your bank accounts, children’s names, dog’s favorite snack, etc.  And to add insult to injury, in small, ineligible print at the bottom of the TV screen they have the audacity to tell you that the charge will continue per month unless an explicit cancellation notification is given.  But, I digress.  The free-trial allows you to create a survey and utilize all the functionality Cvent offers before you commit financially.  No offering of your first born child necessary.

For my second point, I have two words: Client Services.  We offer complimentary phone support 24x5, Monday through Friday as well as weekend support available 8:30am – 5:30pm US ET.  Our Client Services team will offer a complimentary survey review with some online survey best practice tips to get you the best and most accurate data possible.  You can also take advantage of the complimentary (notice a pattern?) training classes offered twice a week, not to mention our extensive recorded training session library that can be accessed at any time for no charge.  These classes walk you through every step in the survey process from inception to survey reporting and presentations.  You can have as many people take the class as many times as necessary to learn and retain the information.  And did I mention we are current finalists for the Service Excellence Award?  Enough said.

My final point is this.  Rumpelstiltskin might have required your first-born in exchange for the much sought after ability to spin twine into gold.  But the cost of spinning your paper survey questions into pure web survey gold with Cvent? Priceless.
