What is a Customer Inquiry Form?

A customer inquiry form is a multi-purpose support tool that captures questions, feedback, and requests from customers. Unlike simple contact forms, inquiry forms categorize requests by type, allowing organizations to route them to the appropriate department or team member.

Well-designed inquiry forms collect enough detail for quick resolution while remaining simple enough for customers to complete in 2-3 minutes. They include priority indicators and preferred contact methods to ensure urgent issues get immediate attention.

By centralizing inquiries in one system, businesses can track response times, identify common questions, and improve products or services based on customer feedback patterns.
