Data Collection Process

  1. E-sign your quote. Once you receive your quote, e-sign it to get started. Need adjustments? Email your project manager directly for updated pricing. If you’d like a quote for a new survey project, you can request one here.
  2. Submit your survey. After signing your quote, follow the emailed instructions to submit your survey.
    • You can create your survey in our built-in Survey Tool. Using a 3rd party tool? We can help with the technical setup or you can check out our setup documentation for various 3rd party survey tools. 
    • Survey data collection is just one part of your project lifecycle. Need additional support? Explore our Research Services for end-to-end assistance.
  3. Soft launch. We’ll start by collecting an initial ~10-20 completed responses for your review. These initial responses come from real respondents and are included in your overall response count.
    • This phase helps ensure your survey questions are clear to respondents and your survey logic is functioning as expected.
    • Please note that soft launch results are not indicative of balancing, quotas, or representative of the sample as a whole.
    • Once you approve the soft launch data, we’ll proceed to the next stage.

  4. Full launch. We’ll complete the data collection process, gathering the remaining responses. If you have any questions about specific responses, contact your project manager for assistance.
  5. Invoicing. Charges are processed upon delivery of your data set when a bank account or credit card is connected. Large companies may be invoiced after data collection, with payment due within 30 days. Pre-payment may be required for individuals and first-time customers to ensure prompt service.
