There I was, sat watching the Olympics for way too many hours, with my laptop open to Typeform.

I managed to watch - well, sort of - the figure skating while I was compiling this set of example feedback forms across a set of niches where I have served clients.

These examples are all similar in structure and have three outcome paths:

• Sign up for a newsletter
• Consider one of our courses/products
• We want to book a call with you

This is a sort of ‘buyer intent ladder’ from low to high to which we route the quiz taker, based on their responses. What we are trying to do is find the real buyers - not the tire kickers - in the list.

Note: I created external landing pages for newsletter sign up and for sample course list, so remember that these are strictly examples and NOT real working artefacts.

​Here’s the entry point typeform​

Creating the quiz is the easy part. It’s determining the right set of questions to map the ‘intent’ to the outcomes you want. Once that’s done, the act of creating the quiz itself is simple.

If you are a coach/creator/consultant who works in any of the niches this covers, let me know if this makes sense to you.

This has come up a few times in the recent past, including 3 DMs in the past month… so i thought i would just give a quick recap on the hack.

1. i want the user to be redirected to a specific sub-page in my web site, based on an answer they chose. Here’s the sample question I used:

​

note that this is a really simple example, with only one question. I could use the logic rules to ‘go to’ different endings, each of which was a dedicated ‘redirect url’

Within typeform there is a feature called Partial Submit that would allow for some of this to function (at least on a paid plan) …

Typeform is a really great tool to help identify the buyers in your mailing list AND find out exactly what content/products they want to buy.

Don’t want to read any more? Here’s a link to the sample typeform I’m talking about

​

Feel like you are wasting time and energy creating content for people who don’t buy?

How do you identify real buyers in your list? How do you create content/products specifically for them?

The 30 Second Survey. (spoiler alert - it’s the typeform)

Just a quick note that helps me keep track of ‘which form’ a user response comes from. (bad grammar and all that ..) 

I have a bunch of typeforms that push data into a single Google Sheet. I consolidate the details into a master tab. Each form contains a set of similar data but to make it easier to identify where the user record comes from, i use a custom variable

Here’s a little hack that I have used to ‘consolidate’ data from two separate tabs/Sheets into the same data set in Google Sheets.

Scenario: you did a survey last year using a form that you have now closed. You duplicate that survey to reuse the structure with a couple of content tweaks. You want to have both sets of data in one tab, with the responses to the new version being added as rows to the end of the original set of data.

You can connect the new survey to the existing Google Sheet for the prior survey but it will add all the responses to this version into that tab. Now you have response data on two separate tabs and you want to consolidate the ‘same set of columns from each’ into one data set.

Typeform has started to roll out “Partial Submit” as a question type! This is potentially a great feature but needs a little work to be really useful in complex quizzes that use logic rules.

One of the big concerns for many folks in the Typeform Community is the ability to capture the email address of someone who starts their form but never submits. (There are several quiz/survey concerns about being entitled to ask for email address at the beginning of the form but that is a separate topic).

This partial submit feature could used to capture the email address early in your form – just case someone does not hit the final button.

Note the new option under Form Structure when you choose to add a question.

I thought I would create this for all those who are trying to figure out how many ‘tie-breaker’ questions they would have to create - and how to set up the logic rules to direct the user to the correct tie-breaker - IF they are working with 6 categories.

Below is the list of the combinations that could arrive in your quiz if you are looking to resolve the ties that might occur in your scoring.

You would need to create all the tie-breaker question pages and put them somewhere in the quiz. I have found it easiest to use question groups to put ‘like’ questions inside. For example, all the tie-breakers related to two subtotals tied, another for three subtotals tied, etc.
