Help Documentations / Billing / Workflow: Cancellation Surveys

Workflow: Cancellation Surveys

Cancellation surveys are a valuable tool within Visp. When a customer’s account is about to be cancelled or archived, the survey is filled out by your staff to capture the reasons for the customer’s departure.

This feedback loop provides insights into why customers leave, allowing you to identify patterns, address issues, and improve your services to reduce future churn.

How to Activate the Cancellation Survey?

1. Click the nine-dot menu in the upper right corner to open the Visp Admin Page.
Next, click on the CRM tab and go to Marketing

2. Activate or Toggle, “Display Cancellation Survey”
Save your work when done.

Click on Archive to continue.

8. Click and use the dropdown to select or populate the reason why the account is being deleted.
