About this template
Customer Exit Survey is a ready-to-use survey template with 4 questions that takes about 3 minutes to answer. Understand why customers cancel and prevent future churn.
Customer feedback templates cover the whole relationship: the first purchase, the support ticket, the renewal, and the cancellation. Most pair one scored question (CSAT, NPS or CES) with one open question, because the score tells you what changed and the open answer tells you why. Send them close to the moment being measured — feedback collected a week later measures memory, not experience. Everything in this template is editable — treat the questions below as a starting point that already has the structure right, then cut what does not apply to you.
- Who should use it
- Support, success and CX teams, and any owner who deals with customers directly.
- When to use it
- After a purchase, a support ticket, a renewal or a cancellation — as close to the event as you can send it.

Why this matters: Makes the reason people leave countable: you get a ranked list you can act on rather than a pile of sentences to read.
Overall satisfaction during your time with us*
Star ratingWhy this matters: Puts a number on overall satisfaction, so you can trend it across weeks, locations or teams instead of arguing from the loudest anecdote.
What could we have done differently?
Long textWhy this matters: The scored questions tell you something moved; this is the one that tells you what to do about it.
Would you consider returning in the future?*
Yes / NoWhy this matters: Splits respondents into two groups by intent to come back — the fastest cut to make when you read the results.
