1) A review is typically a customer rating a business from 0-5. Some % of the reviewers may provide additional text or a photo to support the review.
2) A testimonial (typically captured live between a client and a business) is a client describing why a company’s product or service brings value to them.
3) A survey (i.e. survey monkey) gathers data to help the business measure success or failure of a product or service.Tellofy has made it easy to gather and deliver review/testimonials/and short surveys to drive more sales.
While tellofy has a fully customizable survey engine (like survey monkey or google forms) it’s not just a survey tool or a survey management service. All tellofy surveys and review requests have industry standard NPS questions built in. You can create as many surveys as you wish. and all your responses and data is in one place and within the tellofy platform irrespective of the collection device or channel.
The challenge with other survey tools like google forms and survey monkey is that response data resides in silos and isolated data sets. Subsequent surveys responses would create a new data set and these data sets all don’t talk to each other. So, it’s difficult to draw insights and trends. Further there are no engagement or sharing tools in those platforms.
Tellofy is not an open customer review website as consumers cannot create an account on tellofy themselves and leave a review about their experience. Tellofy is an invite only platform, which means that unless the business invites the consumer for a review a review cannot be posted on the tellofy system. This ensures more trust in the content and only genuine customers of a business invited by the business can leave reviews.
