General survey tools

Candorings vs DIY surveys

A cheap survey buyers half-answer vs a conversation they’ll actually open up in.

What DIY surveys is

Plenty of teams run win-loss themselves with a general survey tool — a Typeform or SurveyMonkey questionnaire emailed to lost prospects, often filled in by the rep or skipped by the buyer.

How Candorings is different

AI interviews, not a human-services project

Candorings runs the buyer interviews itself, so you can cover every closed deal at software cost — not a few dozen interviews a year at consulting rates.

Always-on, not once a quarter

Connect your CRM and every closed-won, closed-lost, and churned deal triggers an interview automatically. The readout is a living view, not a point-in-time study.

The buyer’s words, not the rep’s guess

Buyers answer a neutral AI in their own words, with adaptive follow-ups — so you get the real reason, not the rep’s after-the-fact attribution or a 1–5 survey score.

A segmented readout, plus revenue actions

Why you win, lose, and churn — cut by outcome, competitor, and segment, including what winners say that losers don’t — then drafted actions across pricing, sales, product, and retention, each traced to evidence.

Buyers stay candid the same way throughout: individual responses are never shown to your team, and any segment too small to protect a person is suppressed or merged by a minimum-N gate.

When DIY surveys is the better fit

If you just need a couple of structured data points and have the discipline to chase responses, a DIY survey is the cheapest possible start. Candorings exists because the survey is where win-loss usually dies: low response, no depth, and no neutral party — so you get a score, not the reason.

Run win-loss on your own pipeline.
